Boston Custom Saunas – Indoor, Outdoor & Infrared Sauna Specialists

Yes. Modern sauna systems are built with energy efficiency in mind. Infrared saunas use less electricity than traditional heaters, and even classic Finnish-style saunas can be efficient with proper insulation and smart controls. We’ll recommend the best option for your Boston home to balance performance with affordable energy use.

We offer six main types: indoor saunas, outdoor saunas, infrared saunas, steam saunas, commercial sauna projects, and pre-built sauna installations. Indoor units create private wellness escapes, outdoor saunas are perfect for New England backyards and rooftops, infrared saunas provide gentle heat for recovery, steam rooms deliver spa-level relaxation, commercial builds serve gyms and wellness centers, and pre-built options are installed quickly by our team. Each one is fully customizable.

Regular sauna use can help with stress relief, muscle recovery, improved sleep, and circulation. Infrared saunas support detoxification and relaxation, steam saunas can open airways and improve skin health, and traditional saunas ease joint stiffness while boosting overall wellness. Many Boston homeowners choose saunas for both physical recovery and mental balance.

Pricing depends on size, design, and materials. Small indoor saunas may start around \$6,000–\$8,000, while larger outdoor or steam builds often range between \$10,000–\$20,000+. Commercial projects may cost more due to durability and safety requirements. We provide free consultations and detailed estimates tailored to your property and goals.

Yes, but usage should always be adjusted to suit the individual. For children, shorter sessions (5–10 minutes) at moderate temperatures are recommended, and they should always be supervised by an adult. Seniors often find saunas beneficial for circulation, joint stiffness, and relaxation, but may prefer gentler heat options like infrared or steam. We’ll walk you through safety guidelines during installation and suggest features such as automatic shut-offs, ergonomic seating, and easy-access doors to make saunas comfortable for every age group. As always, anyone with health conditions should consult their physician before starting a sauna routine.
