Electrical Wiring Considerations
All Gaia Saunas run on standart 110 volt/15 amp home wall plugs. You will not need to change your electrical wiring to run these infrared saunas.

Before You Buy ANY Sauna...
Many sauna companies fail to explain the differences in wattages, volts and amps 15 amps equals 1650 watts. Any sauna requiring more wattage than 1650 will require you to upgrade to a 20 amp circuit.

What Is Considered Standard Household Wiring?
Some homes have 20 amp wall outlets in their kitchen and bathrooms. They have the red reset button on the faceplate. 20 amps are rarely used in household wiring. 20 amp outlets typically need special wiring. Remember this is rarely used in standard household wiring so be sure your sauna uses standard 15 amp/110 volts.

Some newer homes use 15 amp faceplates with the red reset button.

Switch Rated GFCI
Normally these will be what you will need to run a 20-amp sauna. Outlets such as these will usually be found in bathrooms, kitchens and newer homes.

All of Gaia saunas new 2006-2007 models run on 15 amp/100 volt system.

When you are purchasing a sauna:

-always ask the # of amps the sauna runs on regardless of voltage.
-anything over 15 amps requires a 20 amp electrical outlet to meet electrical safety codes & ensure you are protected from liability.
-remember, Gaia saunas is always here to serve all your sauna needs.
