The sauna feels wrong even though the thermometer is right
Usually this is not the heater but the ventilation. A stuffy room at the correct temperature is an airflow problem, and it is the cheapest of these to put right.
Sauna repair: what breaks, and who fixes it
A sauna rarely fails all at once. It starts to feel stuffy, the benches darken, the light goes. This page explains where the fault usually is — and if you would rather not work it out yourself, describe it in the form and we will find someone.
The four commonest faults
The benches have darkened, gone soft or started to creak
Bench timber is a wearing part. Whether a clean and a treatment is enough, or whether the boards have to be replaced, comes down to the species and how deep the damp has reached.
The light has gone, or you would rather not touch it
A sauna light is its own product category and its position is prescribed. The wiring belongs to an electrician even when changing the lamp looks simple.
The whole room has reached the end of its life
When several things need work at once, it is worth costing the job as a whole. The same decisions come up as when building new: size, heater, ventilation, materials.
Tell us what is wrong
We are not a repair company and this costs nothing. We read the request, look for someone who covers your area and reply by e-mail. If we cannot find anyone, we will say so plainly.
The form opens shortly. We are not showing it yet so that nobody fills it in for nothing. In the meantime the guides above answer most of the questions.
