The Harvia Virta Combi HL80SA is an 8 kW floor-standing electric sauna heater for rooms of 177–431 adjusted cubic feet running on 240VAC 1PH. It takes 100 lb of 10-15cm sauna stones (sold separately). It requires a separate Harvia control unit, sold separately.
Virta is the current flagship of Harvia's floor-standing electric range. A Graphite Black steel body carries 100 lb of stones in an open top basket, which gives a heavy, slow steam and a heater that stays hot between pours. Because it stands on the floor rather than hanging on the wall, the stone bed sits at a natural pouring height.
- Sidewall or corner, floor mount install
- Automatic and manual water fillings are available
- 5 liter (1.3 gal) water reservoir capacity
- Direct rock-to-heating element contact
- Industrial grade, serviceable heating elements

Hardwired on a dedicated circuit. Not a plug-in appliance. Who Installs It
A licensed electrician sizes the breaker and conductors from the nameplate and installation manual under the current NEC.
The Harvia Virta Combi HL80SA is rated for 177–431 adjusted cubic feet.
Adjusted cubic feet = width × depth × height in feet, plus 45 cu ft for every square foot of glass, tile, concrete or stone, plus 15 cu ft for every square foot of exposed log wall. A 6 × 7 ft room with a 7 ft ceiling is 294 raw cu ft — add a full-glass door and it becomes 834. Always size to the adjusted number.
| Model | Output | Room Volume | Stones | Rated Amps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Virta Combi HL80SA | 8 kW | 177–431 cu ft | 100 lbs | 22 |
| Virta Combi HL90SA | 9 kW | 177–494 cu ft | 100 lbs | 25 |
| Virta Combi HL110SA | 10.5 kW | 175–635 cu ft | 150 lbs | 29.2 |
- Mount to the clearances given in the installation manual. The temperature sensor goes on the wall above the heater, at the height the manual specifies.
- Load the stones loosely by hand, largest at the bottom, so air moves freely between them. Never run the heater with an empty or tightly packed stone space.
- Pour small ladlefuls of clean water onto the hot stones only — never onto the body, elements or controls. Mix any scented oil into the bucket first.
- Re-stack the stones once a year and replace any that have cracked or crumbled.
- Stones ship separately on their own freight because of the weight.
Does the Harvia Virta Combi HL80SA include a control unit?
No, and it cannot run without one. It needs a separate Harvia control unit, sold separately: Harvia Xenio Combi CX30C (240V 1PH). The control mounts outside the hot room, which is what lets you preheat the sauna before you walk in.
Can the Harvia Virta Combi HL80SA be plugged into a normal outlet?
No. It is a hardwired appliance on its own dedicated circuit, rated at 22 A. A licensed electrician sizes the breaker and conductors from the nameplate and installation manual.
How long does the Harvia Virta Combi HL80SA take to heat up?
Harvia does not publish a figure. A correctly sized, well-insulated room is usually ready in 30 to 60 minutes. Consistently longer than an hour normally means the heater is undersized for the room's adjusted cubic feet.
