Do I need an electrician for a sauna?

Electrical coordination is part of your project. Licensed trades perform the work, our team will assess it with you during the consultation, and we hold the schedule so the electrical work is done when the crew arrives.

Can you tell me what my sauna needs electrically?

That belongs to a licensed electrician, and we bring one to your project rather than publishing guidance. Our team will assess this with a licensed electrician during your project.

Can I use my own electrician?

Yes. We brief them on the room and hold the schedule with them the same way we would with ours.

Where do you offer sauna electrical coordination?

We build across the Colorado Front Range, Southern California, and the Kansas City metro, on the member's own site. Each market page lists the cities we cover. Call 720.780.4400 and a specialist will tell you plainly whether we can serve your site.

How does sauna electrical coordination work?

A licensed electrician is engaged for your project and briefed on what the room requires, and we hold the schedule so power is ready when the build crew arrives. We do not publish electrical guidance, because that is licensed work and it belongs to the person who holds the license.

Electrical work is coordinated through licensed electricians as part of your project. Your specialist will assess your site with a licensed electrician, then hold the schedule so power is ready before the build crew arrives rather than after they have gone.

We do not give electrical guidance on this site and we do not give it on the phone, because that is licensed work and it belongs to the person who holds the license. What we own is the coordination. The electrician knows what the room needs, the crew knows when power will be live, and you are not the one relaying messages between two trades who have never spoken.

“David, the owner, worked with us to get a high quality sauna. David is very responsive, knowledgeable, honest and responsive. He will have your sauna delivered to your home. He will then assemble the sauna and remove all the packaging. I highly recommend purchasing a sauna from Sauna Friend.”

“Sauna Friends were exceptional! They fixed my sauna door, added flashing, and reinstalled my sauna roof. I looked for sauna-specific professionals to do these repairs so I could be confident they'd know what they're doing, and they did.”

“Worthy of 10 stars! Went above and beyond to ensure we had full understanding in everything: the sauna we purchased, the ordering, delivery, and setup. Absolutely love our sauna and worth every penny. David was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of his way to over-deliver. Highly recommend working with David!”
