Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only serve Chicago, or suburbs too?
We serve the entire Chicagoland area, including Evanston, Oak Park, Naperville, Schaumburg, and beyond.
Can you install a sauna I already purchased?
Yes. If you’ve ordered a pre-built sauna, our installers will assemble, connect, and test it for safe, long-lasting performance.
Are saunas energy efficient in Chicago homes?
Yes. Modern saunas are designed with efficiency in mind. Infrared units use less electricity, and even traditional saunas can be highly efficient with proper insulation and smart controls. We’ll guide you to the most cost-effective solution for your Chicago property.

Benefits include stress reduction, muscle recovery, improved circulation, better sleep, and detoxification. Infrared saunas target deep tissue recovery, while steam saunas support respiratory health and skin care. Many Chicago homeowners use saunas for both physical and mental wellness.
