Harvia Cilindro Sauna Heater
The Harvia Cilindro Sauna Heater is Harvia's iconic pillar-style tower sauna heater, a stainless steel column with a tall, glass-front stone bed that becomes the visual centerpiece of the sauna cabin. The dial-controlled (HPCS) variant shown here has all controls built into the heater body, no external controller required. Available in 6 kW, 8 kW, or 9 kW at 240V 1-Phase.
Pick the Right kW for Your Cabin
Each Cilindro size is rated for a specific sauna cabin interior volume. Calculate your cabin volume as interior length × width × height. If the cabin includes a glass door or window, add roughly 25% to the calculated cubic footage to compensate for radiant heat loss.
| Model | Best For | Cabin Volume | Amperage | Stones |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cilindro 6 kW | Standard residential 2–3 person sauna cabins | 170–300 cu ft | 25 Amps | 5 boxes AC3000 (5–10 cm) |
| Cilindro 8 kW | Standard to large residential sauna cabins (3–5 person bench) | 200–425 cu ft | 33.3 Amps | 5 boxes AC3000 (5–10 cm) |
| Cilindro 9 kW | Large residential sauna cabins (4–5 person bench) | 280–494 cu ft | 37.5 Amps | 5 boxes AC3000 (5–10 cm) |

Sauna Stones
Cilindro's tall stone column requires significantly more sauna stones than a wall-mounted heater. Each "Cilindro With Stones" package ships with 5 boxes of Harvia AC3000 standard sauna stones, olivine diabase, 5–10 cm size grade, 20 kg (44 lb) per box, the same heat-tested stones Harvia ships with every sauna heater. Verify exact quantity against the installer manual before placement.
Installation & Electrical Requirements
Every Cilindro requires a dedicated 240V 1-Phase circuit wired by a licensed electrician. Required amperage and wire gauge varies by kW, see the sizing table at the top of this page. Cilindro is UL Listed and must be installed per the included manual, local electrical code, and any applicable AHJ inspection.
