Homecraft Sauna Heaters

We design Homecraft heaters for both experiences. They are specifically engineered with a rock capacity that balances fast heat-up times with the ability to handle significant water for traditional steam. Whether you prefer a dry 190 degree session or high-humidity vapor, these heaters provide the necessary control.

We utilize a specific inner-baffle system and airflow design that prioritizes convection over radiation. While many standard heaters require a full hour, Homecraft models are rated to reach target temperatures in roughly half that time, making them highly efficient for daily use.

We warn that Homecraft heaters perform most effectively with 7-foot ceilings. Because heat pools at the top of the room, an 8-foot ceiling can cause the sauna to feel cold at the bench level, forcing the heater to work longer and potentially triggering the safety high-limit switch.

We generally advise against using GFCI breakers with these units. High-output stainless steel elements can cause nuisance tripping on GFCI circuits due to micro-moisture absorption. We recommend a standard dedicated breaker unless your local US building code strictly dictates otherwise.

Yes. We ensure all Homecraft heaters carry both CSA and UL certifications. This is a critical requirement for US homeowners, as installing a non-certified heating appliance can void your home insurance policy in the event of an electrical fire.

We recommend mounting the sensor bulb horizontally on the wall, approximately one inch below the ceiling and directly above the heater. Incorrect sensor placement is the leading cause of operation issues and frequent safety shut-offs.

Yes. To maintain your warranty, we require the use of approved Homecraft rocks. These are specific igneous stones designed to withstand rapid thermal cycles without crumbling and blocking the essential airflow vents of the heater.

We emphasize that Homecraft offers one of the strongest warranties in the industry, including a lifetime guarantee on manufactured components for residential H-Series models, provided the unit was installed by a certified electrician.

We note that an "Open" message on a TKE2-2 touchpad typically indicates a wiring break in the circuit. This usually occurs at the thermistor sensor; we suggest checking the wall connections to ensure they are snug and not interrupted.

We have positioned the high-limit safety reset at the bottom of the heater shell. You will find a small access hole in the aluminum sticker; simply insert a thin, non-metallic object to press the switch until it clicks to restore power.

No. We strictly state that the relay control box must be installed outside the sauna in a dry location. Only the heater and the temperature sensor should be inside the high-heat environment to protect the digital components from heat damage.

We find this typically points to an undersized circuit breaker or incorrect wire gauge for the kilowatt rating. For example, a 6kW unit requires a dedicated 40-amp breaker and 8-gauge copper wire to handle the continuous high-amperage draw safely.

The Revive series is unique and requires 200 lbs of stones. We emphasize this massive rock load because it is what creates the soft, enveloping steam and high thermal mass that the Homecraft brand is famous for.

Yes, but we clarify that performance will decrease. On a 208V commercial line, the heater will produce roughly 25% less wattage than it would on a residential 240V line. We suggest your electrician verify the wiring diagram for the specific voltage available.

We note that because the Revive series holds 200 lbs of stones, it has a massive thermal inertia. While the warm-up time is longer (45-60 minutes), the resulting heat is much softer and the steam quality is significantly better than wall-mounted models.

Yes. We confirm that the Revive tower features a specialized inner airflow chamber that allows for corner placement. However, you must still maintain the manufacturer's specified safety clearance to the wood walls to prevent scorching.

Yes. We find that the 200 lb rock capacity in the tower creates a heavier steam experience. Standard H-series heaters have smaller trays that produce a sharper, faster burst of steam that dissipates more rapidly into the air.

The standard TKE2-2 is a digital touchpad but is not natively WiFi-enabled. We observe that many installers pair Homecraft heaters with the UKU WiFi controller if remote smartphone operation is a primary requirement for the project.

We explain that this is a safety lockout indicating an unsafe internal temperature. This is often caused by an 8-foot ceiling; as heat pools at the top, the heater works too hard to reach the target, eventually tripping the safety switch at the base.

Yes. We offer the TKE24D commercial-grade controller specifically for gym and spa settings. This allows for 24-hour operation, bypassing the standard 60-minute residential safety timer found on home units.

Yes, but we emphasize that you must specify Single Phase when ordering. Many 12kW units are sold as 3-Phase for commercial use; trying to wire a 3-Phase unit into a standard home will damage your electrical panel.
