Frequently Asked Questions

What is Scottsdale Custom Saunas?

Scottsdale Custom Saunas is a locally focused sauna builder specializing in custom sauna design and installation for homes and businesses throughout Scottsdale and the surrounding areas. We build indoor, outdoor, infrared, steam, and commercial saunas, and also install pre-built units. Our team manages the entire process—from planning and design to installation and long-term support.

We also understand how overwhelming the online sauna market can be. With so many products and claims, it’s hard to know what’s right for your space. Our goal is to simplify the process by offering honest guidance, in-person consultations, and clear recommendations. We take the time to review your goals, evaluate your space, and walk you through every decision so you feel confident from start to finish.

Why choose Scottsdale Custom Saunas over other installers?

Unlike big-box retailers or online-only sellers, we provide a personalized, start-to-finish experience. We work with premium materials, reliable heating systems, and precise installation methods tailored to Scottsdale’s climate. Our approach includes transparent pricing, attentive communication, and ongoing support. Saunas aren’t an add-on for us—they’re our core specialty.

How much does a custom sauna cost in Scottsdale?

Pricing varies based on size, materials, heating system, and installation location. Smaller indoor saunas typically start around $6,000–$8,000, while larger outdoor or steam sauna projects often range from $10,000–$20,000 or more. Commercial installations may be higher due to code, durability, and safety requirements. We offer free consultations and provide detailed estimates based on your goals and property.

Can you install a sauna I already purchased?

Yes. If you’ve purchased a pre-built sauna online or from a retailer, we offer professional installation services throughout Scottsdale. Our installers ensure the unit is assembled correctly, wired safely, and properly ventilated. Professional installation helps protect manufacturer warranties and ensures your sauna performs as intended from day one.

What health benefits can sauna use provide?

Consistent sauna use may support stress reduction, muscle recovery, improved sleep, and circulation. Infrared saunas are commonly used for relaxation and post-workout recovery, steam saunas can support respiratory comfort and skin hydration, and traditional saunas help ease joint stiffness and promote overall wellness. Many Scottsdale homeowners incorporate saunas into their daily routines for both physical recovery and mental clarity.

Can children or seniors safely use a sauna?

Yes, with proper guidelines. Children should use saunas for shorter sessions at moderate temperatures and always with adult supervision. Seniors often benefit from sauna use for relaxation and circulation but may prefer gentler heat options such as infrared or steam. During installation, we review safety best practices and can recommend features like automatic shut-off timers, comfortable bench heights, and easy-access doors. Anyone with medical conditions should consult a healthcare provider before starting regular sauna use.

Do you only serve Scottsdale, or nearby areas as well?

While we are based in Scottsdale, we also serve surrounding communities in the greater Phoenix area. Whether your property is in Scottsdale or a nearby city, our team can design and install a sauna that fits your space and lifestyle.

What types of saunas do you install in Scottsdale?

We design and install a full range of sauna types, including indoor saunas, outdoor saunas, infrared saunas, steam saunas, commercial saunas, and pre-built sauna installations. Indoor saunas create private wellness spaces, outdoor saunas are popular for poolside and backyard retreats, infrared saunas offer gentle daily heat, steam saunas deliver spa-style relaxation, commercial saunas support gyms and resorts, and pre-built units are installed professionally by our team. Every option can be customized.

Do I need a large space in my Scottsdale home to install a sauna?

No. Saunas can be designed to fit a wide range of spaces, from compact indoor layouts to expansive outdoor installations. We regularly design saunas for bathrooms, fitness rooms, spare rooms, patios, and backyards. Every project begins with careful measurements and planning to ensure comfort, safety, and performance without wasted space.

Are saunas energy efficient in Scottsdale homes?

Yes. Modern sauna systems are designed to operate efficiently, even in hot climates like Scottsdale. Infrared saunas are especially energy-conscious because they heat the body directly rather than warming the entire room. Traditional Finnish-style saunas can also run efficiently when built with proper insulation, ventilation, and digital controls. We help Scottsdale homeowners choose a system that delivers strong performance without unnecessary energy use.

What materials are used in your custom sauna builds?

We use premium sauna-grade woods such as cedar, hemlock, and spruce, selected for their durability, heat tolerance, and clean appearance. Heating systems include high-quality electric, infrared, or steam equipment from trusted manufacturers. Every material is chosen to perform reliably in Scottsdale’s hot, dry climate.

How long does it take to build a sauna in Scottsdale?

Most residential sauna projects are completed within 1–3 weeks, depending on design complexity and site conditions. Pre-built sauna installations can often be completed in a single day, while larger commercial projects may take several weeks. You’ll receive a clear project timeline before work begins so there are no surprises.

What are the benefits of an outdoor sauna in Arizona?

Outdoor saunas allow you to enjoy relaxation year-round, especially during cooler mornings and evenings. Built with materials designed to handle intense sun and temperature fluctuations, they’re ideal for backyards, patios, and poolside areas. Outdoor saunas also enhance your outdoor living space while adding long-term value to your property.

Are saunas safe to use every day?

Yes. When properly installed and used responsibly, saunas are generally safe for daily use. Most people enjoy sessions lasting 15–30 minutes, depending on the sauna type and personal comfort. During installation, we review best-practice safety guidelines and recommend features such as digital timers and automatic shut-off controls for added reassurance. Anyone with existing medical conditions should consult a healthcare professional before beginning a daily sauna routine.

How do I maintain my sauna after installation?

Sauna maintenance is straightforward. Regularly wipe down benches and walls with gentle cleaners, allow the space to ventilate after use, and avoid harsh chemicals. Outdoor saunas may occasionally need wood treatment to protect against sun exposure. We provide clear care instructions and remain available for ongoing support if needed.

Are infrared saunas popular in Scottsdale?

Yes. Infrared saunas are especially popular in Scottsdale because they provide therapeutic heat without extremely high ambient temperatures. They’re ideal for smaller spaces, consume less energy, and are commonly used for recovery, relaxation, and daily wellness routines.

Can I install a sauna in my Scottsdale condo or apartment?

In many cases, yes. Condos and apartments often work well with compact, energy-efficient options such as infrared saunas that fit into bathrooms, spare rooms, or walk-in closets. Before installation, we review HOA rules, electrical capacity, and ventilation requirements. We regularly help Scottsdale condo owners create private wellness spaces that meet building codes and association guidelines.

What’s the first step to getting started in Scottsdale?

Call us at (480) 470-1444 to schedule a free consultation. We’ll review your space, discuss sauna options suited for desert conditions, explain electrical and ventilation needs, and outline a clear plan so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.

Do I need special ventilation or electrical work for a sauna?

Most saunas require some preparation to ensure safe and efficient operation. Infrared and electric saunas typically need a dedicated electrical circuit, while traditional and steam saunas require carefully planned ventilation to manage heat and moisture. During your site visit, we evaluate your existing setup and coordinate any necessary upgrades with licensed electricians. Proper preparation improves safety, efficiency, and the lifespan of your sauna.

Do saunas increase home value in Scottsdale?

Yes. Wellness features are increasingly attractive to buyers, especially in luxury-focused markets like Scottsdale. A professionally installed sauna can differentiate your home, support higher perceived value, and enhance daily living—even if you’re not planning to sell anytime soon.
