The Harvia KIP80B is a wall-mounted Harvia KIP electric heater, 8 kW, for rooms of about 250–425 cu ft. KIP is the straightforward Finnish wall unit people put in home saunas when they want a known quantity, not a design object.
How it heats
KIP is the classic Harvia wall heater: elements in a stone cage, water on the rocks for löyly. Dual-wall construction keeps the outer shell cooler than a single-wall box. The B model has temperature and timer dials on the heater — left for temp, right for on/off with up to 8-hour delay and a 60-minute run cycle.
What’s included
Harvia KIP wall heater
Stones sold separately
Control: on-heater (B) or separate (W) as described above
Match heater kW to insulated interior volume. Glass, stone, tile, or thin walls need more heater than a tight wood room of the same size. A licensed electrician completes the hookup from the nameplate — we do not guess breaker size. Email hello@selfcaresaunas.com to size the room first.

Built-in control? Yes on B models. W models in this shop are the separate-control version.
240V? Typical US KIP hookup is 240V; a licensed electrician sizes the circuit from the nameplate. We do not publish guessed breaker sizes.
