Before you buy
Most sauna regrets happen before the sauna arrives
Wrong heater size
The heater is the wrong size for the room.
Unplanned electrical
No one priced the 240 V circuit until the electrician showed up.
Access
It doesn't fit through the side gate.
Two different saunas in mind
One person loves steam, the other wanted infrared.
A sauna you love becomes a highlight of your week. One that was rushed sits cold. Let's plan it properly.

Reviews

Questions
Home sauna FAQ
Do you install saunas?
Yes, within about 5 hours of Calgary. Our crew unpacks and builds your sauna, and runs the low-voltage wiring on insulated saunas. Travel is included within 50 km of our Calgary store; beyond that it’s $3/km one way. Install pricing depends on the sauna model; your Sauna Expert confirms it in your quote. Your own licensed electrician does the high-voltage work and connects the heater. If you’d rather build it yourself, we ship the kit and support you with videos, written directions and phone support.
What electrical does a sauna need?
Traditional electric heaters need 240 V and a licensed electrician. Infrared ranges from a dedicated 120 V plug to 240 V by model.
What do I build it on?
A level base: a 4×4 frame with tamped road crush, a concrete pad or a deck.
How long until it arrives?
Generally 4–12 weeks after your deposit. That’s an estimate, and we confirm it for your model.
Is the heater included?
Not on Leisurecraft saunas; you choose it in the configurator.
Can I see saunas in person?
Yes, at 711 48th Ave SE, Calgary. Mon–Fri 10–6, Sat–Sun 10–5.
Do you ship to my province?
Yes, anywhere in Canada. Leisurecraft saunas ship flat-rate across Canada, extra charges apply for the Territories. For other brands, shipping is quoted for your address.
How does the deposit work?
A 50% deposit secures your order. The balance is due when your sauna ships from the supplier or arrives in Canada, and we confirm which applies to your order in writing. Saunas are made to order and sauna orders are final sale, so we confirm every detail with you before your deposit.
Traditional sauna vs infrared sauna: what's the difference?
A traditional sauna uses a heater that warms a room full of stones, and you pour water on the stones for a burst of steam. Electric heaters need 240 V. An infrared sauna uses panels that warm you directly at a lower air temperature, with no stones or steam; electrical needs range from a dedicated 120 V plug to 240 V depending on the model. The Saunacore INFRA-CORE Dual combines both (from $16,100). There’s no “better” here, only what you enjoy. If you can, try both at our Calgary showroom.
