Anyone know of an electrician with sauna install experience and/or ability to following a wiring diagram?
I’m not an electrician, but this is an easy task as long as you can get an electrician to install the 220V 40A service with enough length of #8 AWG Romex to run through the conduit that goes where you install the sauna heater. We have a sauna in our northern home and had an electrician run us a dedicated 220 servive. I then easily hooked up the wires to the heater following the manufacturers wiring diagram (that was 18 years ago and it still works perfectly). Just be sure to turn off the circuit before doing the wiring job. I’m flying down to our Villages home in a few days and would be happy to help you if you still haven’t gotten it wired.
