Harvia Spirit SP90E Pkg Spirit Series 9kW Sauna Heater Package, Black
The Harvia Spirit SP90E Package is the highest-output model in the Spirit lineup - a 9kW black open-cage sauna heater covering rooms from 177 to 494 cubic feet, complete with a CX45 or FX45 WiFi control and four boxes of Harvia R-991 stones. It brings the full Spirit design - the elegantly curved black steel frame, the fully visible stone cage, the dual safety interlocks, the ventilation ducts, and the 110-lb stone capacity - to the largest room range the Spirit series serves. At 9kW on a 50A circuit, the SP90E heats rooms that the SP80E (8kW, 40A) cannot adequately serve, and does so in the same compact 29.5"H x 15.0"W x 13.1"D footprint shared by every Spirit model in the range.
9kW - the largest Spirit package, for rooms up to 494 cubic feet
The SP90E extends the Spirit series to its maximum room coverage: 177 to 494 cubic feet. This is the range that encompasses large 5 to 6-person home saunas and any room where significant cold surfaces - glass panels, tile floors, concrete walls - drive the adjusted cubic footage substantially above the nominal room volume. At 9kW, the SP90E draws 37.5A and requires a 50A breaker and 8 AWG wire - one step heavier than the SP80E's 40A requirement. This electrical difference is the only reason to choose between the SP80E and SP90E: if the room calculation confirms coverage above 431 cubic feet (the SP80E's ceiling), the SP90E is the correct and only Spirit model that serves it.
Presence detection and dual safety sensors - safe remote activation at 9kW
The SP90E carries the same integrated safety systems as every Spirit model. The presence detection system prevents the heater from being activated - manually or remotely via the app - if any item is placed on top of the heater. The dual-sensor system monitors the heater surface temperature with one sensor and the sauna room air temperature with a second, independent sensor; either threshold triggers automatic shutoff. On a 9kW heater connected to a 50A circuit and activated remotely, these systems provide the safety assurance that makes remote preheat a practical and responsible operation rather than a risk. Both are permanently active and cannot be bypassed.
Open stone cage - 110 lbs of R-991 stones, visible from all sides
The SP90E uses the same open curved black steel cage as the SP60E and SP80E. The four included boxes of Harvia R-991 stones (110 lbs total) fill the cage visibly from every angle in the sauna room. Heat radiates simultaneously from all faces of the exposed stone mass rather than directionally from a single front face, producing more even radiant heat distribution across the room. The ventilation ducts beneath the stone cage circulate air through the heater for even temperature distribution and cool the rear of the heater - allowing direct wood wall mounting despite the fully open stone design on all other sides.
CX45 or FX45 WiFi control - full app and smart home integration
The package includes either a Xenio CX45 WiFi or Fenix FX45 WiFi control, selected at checkout. Both provide full remote operation via the MyHarvia app on iOS and Android, Google Home and Amazon Alexa integration, and digital temperature and scheduling control. The FX45 additionally offers AI-driven adaptive heating profiles. For a 9kW heater covering rooms up to 494 cubic feet that may take additional time to bring to temperature, the remote preheat capability of the included WiFi control is especially practical.

Why the Spirit SP90E Package stands out
9kW Spirit - rooms up to 494 cu ft
The highest-output Spirit package. Covers rooms from 177 to 494 cubic feet - the full Spirit design including open cage, dual safety interlocks, and 110-lb stone load at the output level for very large home sauna rooms. The only Spirit model for rooms above 431 cu ft.
Presence detection - safe 9kW remote preheat
The presence detection system prevents activation if any item is on top of the heater - manual or remote. On a 9kW heater, this is the safety feature that makes WiFi remote preheat genuinely responsible. Both dual temperature sensors remain active at all times, providing independent overtemperature shutoff.
Open cage - 110 lbs stones on all sides
Four boxes of R-991 stones (110 lbs) fill the curved open cage and are visible from every angle. Heat radiates simultaneously from all faces of the exposed stone mass. Ventilation ducts beneath the cage produce even temperature distribution and cool the rear wall for safe wood mounting.
CX45 or FX45 WiFi - included
Both 45-series controls support the SP90E's 9kW output. MyHarvia app, Google Home and Alexa, digital scheduling, and remote preheat are ready from day one. For a large room that takes longer to reach temperature, remote start from anywhere is particularly practical.
50A breaker - confirm panel capacity first
The 9kW SP90E requires a 50A two-pole breaker and 8 AWG wire - heavier than the SP80E's 40A requirement. Confirm the electrical panel has the capacity to accommodate a 50A circuit before ordering. A licensed electrician is required for all connections.
Complete package - nothing else to buy
Heater, WiFi control, 4 boxes R-991 stones, mounting bracket, and manual. Everything for rooms up to 494 cu ft in a single purchase. The only remaining requirement is the 50A/8 AWG electrical connection by a licensed electrician.
About Harvia
Made in Finland - 75 years
The Spirit SP90E. The largest Spirit package, for saunas where nothing smaller will do.
Harvia has been making sauna heaters in Finland since 1950. The SP90E is the top of the Spirit lineup: the same elegantly curved open cage, the same presence-detection safety that makes remote preheat reliable, the same dual sensors, the same ventilation ducts, and the same 110-lb stone capacity as the SP60E and SP80E - at 9kW for rooms up to 494 cubic feet. The step from SP80E to SP90E is dictated entirely by room size. If the adjusted room volume exceeds 431 cu ft, the SP90E is the correct choice.

SP60E, SP80E, or SP90E?
Choosing the right Spirit package by room size
All three Spirit packages share the same open cage design, WiFi control, 4 boxes of R-991 stones, and safety features. The difference is output, room coverage, and electrical requirement. SP60E (6kW): 177-294 cu ft, CX30 or FX30 WiFi, 30A breaker, 10 AWG. SP80E (8kW): 177-431 cu ft, CX45 or FX45 WiFi, 40A breaker, 8 AWG. SP90E (9kW): 177-494 cu ft, CX45 or FX45 WiFi, 50A breaker, 8 AWG. Calculate the adjusted cubic footage of the room. If the result is under 294 cu ft, the SP60E is correct. Between 294 and 431 cu ft, the SP80E. Above 431 cu ft, the SP90E is the only Spirit model that serves it.
A standard 2-pole 50A breaker and 8 AWG wire are required for the SP90E. Do not use a GFI or GFCI breaker. The control unit installs in a dry area outside the sauna room; the heater mounts on the wall inside. Only Harvia R-991 stones (5-10 cm) should be used.
Manuals and Documents
Warranty
2-year consumer warranty / 1-year commercial warranty
The Harvia Spirit SP90E is covered by a 2-year limited warranty for consumer (residential) use and a 1-year limited warranty for commercial use from the date of purchase. The warranty covers the heater and included components - heating elements, control unit, and stones - against defects in manufacturing and materials. Heating elements are serviceable Virta-series elements, available as authorised replacement parts. The warranty is void if: the heater is connected to a GFI/GFCI breaker, incorrect stones are used (must be Harvia R-991, 5-10 cm), water is poured directly onto heating elements, or the heater is improperly installed. Proof of purchase from an authorized Harvia dealer is required. We are an authorized Harvia dealer.
