Home saunas and cold plunges

Home sauna and cold plunge buying guides

A home sauna costs $4,500 to $15,000 and usually needs a 240V circuit. A cold plunge with a chiller costs $4,000 to $15,000. These guides cover what decides whether one works in your house, like the circuit and the heater size. Prices and specs come from each maker's own store, with the date we checked them.

How these pages are made

We have not used these saunas or tubs. We read the spec sheets and install manuals the makers publish and say which model fits which house. Links to stores may earn us a commission, which pays for the site; a brand cannot pay to be on a list.
