Understanding the Harvia KIP Models: Integrated vs. External Controls
When choosing your Harvia KIP, understanding the control options is essential for making the right decision. The series offers two distinct approaches to temperature and timing control, each designed to meet different installation preferences and user needs.
KIP B models come with built-in controls conveniently located right on the heater itself. With simple front-facing knobs for adjusting the temperature and setting the timer, there's no need for extra control units or wiring. This all-in-one design is perfect for hassle-free installations and users who prefer a clean, compact setup.
KIP W models work with an external control system, offering greater flexibility in placement and operation. These models require a separate control panel, which can be positioned at your preferred location within the sauna or even outside the sauna room. The external control system option also opens the door to upgraded features, including Wi-Fi connectivity for remote operation. This is a fantastic option as it allows you to preheat your sauna before you arrive home.
The choice between integrated controls and an external control system often comes down to personal preference, installation constraints, and desired features. Both options deliver the same exceptional Harvia KIP heating performance while giving you control over your sauna experience.
Harvia KIP45B & KIP45W
The Harvia KIP45B and Harvia KIP45W are specifically designed for smaller sauna installations, typically ranging from 160 to 250 cubic feet. With their 4.5kW output, these compact powerhouses deliver efficient heating that's perfectly sized for intimate sauna experiences.
The Harvia KIP45B comes as an electric sauna heater with integrated controls, featuring simple knob controls mounted directly on the unit. It’s a great option for compact areas where keeping things straightforward and limiting components is important.
For those preferring flexibility, the Harvia KIP45W pairs with an external control system, allowing you to position controls wherever is most convenient. This model is particularly appealing if you're planning future upgrades or want the option to control your sauna remotely.
Both models maintain the classic Harvia build quality and include the traditional sauna stone capacity, ensuring your smaller sauna delivers the authentic Finnish experience you're seeking.
Harvia KIP60B & KIP60W
Stepping up to mid-sized sauna rooms of 250 to 300 cubic feet, the Harvia KIP60B and Harvia KIP60W provide the ideal 6kW heating solution. These models represent the sweet spot for many home sauna installations, offering robust performance without oversizing your heating needs.

Both 6kW models deliver consistent, reliable heating that brings mid-sized sauna rooms to optimal temperature efficiently, making them popular choices among homeowners who want proven performance in their sauna investment.
Harvia KIP80B & KIP80W
For larger home saunas ranging from 350 to 425 cubic feet, the Harvia KIP80B and Harvia KIP80W deliver the robust 8kW heating power needed to warm spacious installations effectively. These models ensure that even generously sized family saunas reach and maintain optimal temperatures.

The Harvia KIP80W model accommodates an external control system, giving you complete freedom in control placement and functionality. This flexibility is particularly valuable in larger installations where you might want controls positioned outside the sauna room or integrated into a smart home system.
With their 8kW output, both models ensure that larger spaces heat evenly and efficiently, providing the consistent sauna experience that Harvia KIP is known for delivering.
