Before you order
This page gathers what Sun Home publishes about the Nova 3, checked Oct 16, 2026, and adds up what it costs to install.
Who should buy the Nova 3?
The Nova 3 suits three people who want a traditional hot room indoors, with stones to ladle and an app to start it. Sun Home builds it in Japanese cedar around a 6 kW HUUM Drop heater and lists a top temperature of about 230°F (110°C).
Almost Heaven's Auburn is a cedar room for two or three, built in West Virginia, for far less. The Nova 6 seats six on a 7.5 kW heater.
What does it take to install?
It measures about 65 by 57 inches, stands 83 inches tall and weighs about 772 pounds. An electrician hardwires the heater to a dedicated 240V, 30-amp circuit once every part is on site. The cabin comes in one crate, and the heater ships separately with its controller and stones.

What to know before you buy
Cedar, electric, 240V, app control. These decide whether it suits your space and your electrical panel.
- CedarCedar resists rot and insects naturally, and it's aromatic. It conducts heat poorly, so the benches stay cool enough to sit on in a hot room.
- ElectricAn electric heater holds a steady temperature on its thermostat and needs no chimney. Many models add app or timer control.
- 240V HardwiredA hardwired model needs a dedicated 240V circuit installed by an electrician. Build roughly $600–$2,500 into your total budget for it.
