Harvia Virta Pro HL160E (HL16U1) 16 kW electric sauna heater in black for 354–918 ft³ sauna rooms, designed for 240V/1PH (60 Hz) installations and controlled by a separate control unit.

Built for frequent, demanding sessions, the Virta Pro format focuses on steady heat, service access, and a clean, professional look inside the sauna. With 16 kW of output and a recommended room range of 354–918 ft³, this heater is a practical fit for larger home saunas and many commercial-style sauna rooms where consistent recovery heat matters.

The heater is designed around direct stone-to-element heating using 200 lb of sauna stones (stone amount), supporting a stable, even heat profile when paired with the right stone load and ventilation. The unit is floor mounted, installed vertically, and rated for interior wet-area environments. A separate control unit is required for operation, allowing the control panel and electronics to be located outside the heat zone while the heater remains inside the sauna room.

Harvia designs electric sauna heaters for users who want repeatable performance and serviceable ownership. The Virta Pro platform emphasizes practical installation details (dimensions, electrical group options, and stone capacity) so your sauna build can be sized and wired to match the heater’s intended use—whether that’s daily home use or heavier scheduled sessions.

What’s included is focused on core installation: the sauna heater and the installation/operation documentation. Sauna stones and required control components are selected separately based on your build requirements.

NOTE: This heater requires a control panel, and 200 lbs of rocks. To select yours click the 'Bundle & Upgrade' button.

Why Choose Harvia?

Why Choose Harvia?

If your sauna build needs a high-output electric heater sized for larger rooms, the HL16U1 / HL160E format pairs 16 kW performance with a recommended 354–918 ft³ sauna range and a 200 lb stone load. The result is a heater setup designed for consistent heat delivery when your sauna is used frequently.
This heater operates via a separate control unit, supporting installations where the control panel and electronics are placed outside the hot room while the heater remains inside the sauna space. Installation planning is supported by published electrical group options, circuit configurations, and environmental ratings intended for interior wet-area use.
At the brand level, Harvia focuses on clear sizing, installation, and service considerations across its electric heater lineup—helping owners match heater output, stone capacity, and electrical setup to the way the sauna will actually be used over time.
