Perfect for Compact Saunas
The Small's 3–4.5 kW output is engineered for 1–2 person saunas up to 150–200 cubic feet. It delivers fast, authentic Finnish heat in a compact form factor — ideal for barrel saunas, studio installations, and smaller home sauna rooms.
Ultra-Line Construction
Don't let the compact size fool you — the Small carries the same premium stainless steel construction as Scandia's commercial-grade models. Heavy-gauge materials and precision engineering built to outlast cheaper heaters by decades.
Authentic Löyly Steam
The rock cradle design supports sauna stones for maximum heat absorption. Once rocks reach full temperature, pour water over them for bursts of traditional Finnish löyly steam — a genuine sauna experience even in a compact room.
Right-Sized Heat Output
The 3.0–4.5 kW range is precision-matched for small sauna rooms. Proper sizing means faster heat-up, lower energy consumption, and accurate temperature maintenance — no wasted power, no cold spots.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Scandia Electric Ultra Sauna Heater - Small
The Small (3.0–4.5 kW) is designed for compact saunas up to approximately 150–200 cubic feet — ideal for 1–2 person installations, barrel saunas, and smaller built-in home sauna rooms. Use the 1 kW per 45 cubic feet guideline to choose the right kW within the range for your specific room.
The Small requires a dedicated 240V electrical circuit with the appropriate breaker and wire gauge for your selected kW model. Installation must be completed by a licensed electrician per local codes. See the owner's manual for specific amperage, breaker sizing, and required clearances from combustible materials.
Yes — the Scandia Electric Ultra Small includes a rock cradle for sauna stones, making authentic löyly steam possible even in a compact 1–2 person room. This is a key differentiator vs. basic infrared or cheaper electric heaters that don't support rocks. Once stones are fully heated, ladle water over them for genuine Finnish steam.
The Small (3.0–4.5 kW) is for saunas up to 150–200 cubic feet — great for 1–2 person compact rooms. The Medium (6.0–9.0 kW) handles up to 350–400 cubic feet for standard home saunas. The Large (12.0–18.0 kW) covers 600+ cubic feet for bigger rooms and commercial use. All three share the same premium Ultra-line stainless steel construction.
Traditional Finnish sauna heaters like the Scandia Ultra produce convective heat — hot air that heats the entire room plus authentic löyly steam from rocks. Infrared heaters warm the body directly without heating the air or supporting steam. Many sauna enthusiasts prefer traditional heaters for the more immersive, authentic experience, especially if löyly steam is important to them.
