What does Sun Home Saunas offer — infrared cabins, traditional saunas and the Pod?

Published November 3, 2026

Summary

Sun Home Saunas sells indoor infrared cabins, outdoor cabins, traditional saunas and the Pod, a one-person far-infrared unit. What each one asks of your house varies by model. Per Sun Home's Pod page, the Pod needs a 120V / 20A dedicated GFCI circuit and has a footprint just over 40 inches in diameter. For the other models, get the exact power, size and placement specifications before you plan wiring or a site. Sun Home also publishes its own EMF test claim and names Vitatech Electromagnetics (report VTE-3534) as the tester.

Indoor infrared and traditional cabins

Sun Home groups its products by both placement and heating system. Its indoor group includes Nova, Eclipse, Equinox and the Pod; its far-infrared group names the Pod and Solstice. Nova and Solaris appear under Traditional. The categories overlap: Nova is the line to ask about for an indoor heater-and-stones room, rather than assuming every indoor Sun Home cabin uses infrared panels.

The Eclipse appears in Sun Home's indoor collection. The site navigation lists the Nova and Equinox as indoor. Prices on Sun Home's store, checked 2026-10-23:

Eclipse 2-person: listed at $9,999, regular price $10,599
Eclipse 4-person: listed at $12,999, regular price $13,599

The four-person Eclipse adds $12,999 − $9,999 = $3,000 at those listed prices. Whether that extra seating is useful depends on who will share the cabin and whether the larger model fits the intended room. Confirm the dimensions before treating the higher capacity as an upgrade worth paying for.

Before you pick a room, ask for the outside dimensions, door swing and ceiling height of the exact model. A cabin that fits the floor plan can still miss a low basement soffit or a narrow stair turn on delivery.

Outdoor cabins and the Pod

The Luminar and the Solaris sit in Sun Home's outdoor collection. The Solaris is also listed in the Traditional line. Store prices checked 2026-10-23:

Luminar 2-person: listed at $10,999, regular price $11,599
Luminar 5-person: listed at $13,899, regular price $14,499
Solaris Small: listed at $36,399, regular price $37,199
Solaris Medium: listed at $45,399, regular price $46,199

At the prices checked 2026-10-23, Solaris Medium adds $45,399 − $36,399 = $9,000 over Small; Luminar 5-person adds $13,899 − $10,999 = $2,900 over the two-person version. These are differences within each line. They do not isolate the cost of infrared versus traditional heat, because the cabins themselves also differ.

An outdoor unit also brings site costs that the purchase price leaves out. These include a level base, a power run from the house, and a way to get a large shipment to the back of the property. Price those with a local contractor before you compare totals.

For one person in a compact indoor space, consider the Pod: Sun Home gives its footprint as just over 40 inches in diameter. It was listed at $6,599, with $6,699 crossed out, on Sun Home's store, checked 2026-10-23. For two seats, compare the Eclipse 2-person indoors at $9,999 and the Luminar 2-person outdoors at $10,999 on the same store, checked 2026-10-23. The placement category matters before the price difference: an outdoor model needs a suitable site, while the Pod is intended for a dry indoor location.

Ask what is included in the box before you compare prices across brands, such as lighting, a control panel, a backrest or flooring.

Electrical needs by model

The Pod's page specifies a dedicated 120V, 20A circuit with GFCI protection. Its dimensions section also lists 1710W, 14.2A and a NEMA 5-20P plug, checked 2026-11-02. Those operating ratings do not replace the maker's 20A circuit requirement. Give the complete specification to the electrician and confirm local requirements before choosing the outlet location.

For every other Sun Home model, get the voltage, amperage and connection type for the exact model and size in writing. Ask in particular about the Nova and Solaris, which use traditional heaters, and remember that an outdoor run adds trenching or conduit. This site's electrical requirements page and the electrical load planner cover how a new sauna circuit fits a home's existing panel.

What Sun Home says about its testing

Sun Home's sauna testing page reports an EMF figure "as low as 0.3 mG at three feet (seated position)." It says the measurement was taken with a fluxgate magnetometer as an RMS reading, by Vitatech Electromagnetics, under report VTE-3534. That is the maker's published result for its own testing, at a stated distance and position. It is not a reading of any unit in your home.

For context on what EMF is, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences describes electric and magnetic fields as invisible areas of energy, often called radiation, that come with the use of electrical power and with natural and man-made lighting.

A test result applies to the unit and setup tested. Before using it to compare a Pod with an Eclipse or another cabin, ask Sun Home which models the report covers and whether the measurement position matches the seat you would use. A brand-wide headline is not a measurement of every model at every distance.
