What Type of Outlet Is Needed for Your Outexer Sauna? A Quick Power Guide

So you’ve made the decision to upgrade your wellness routine with an Outexer Infrared Sauna—great choice! Whether it's the T-50C model or one of our larger 2-person units, one of the first practical questions customers ask is: “What type of outlet do I need to power this at home?” Don’t worry—we’re here to break it down simply and clearly.

Why the Right Outlet Matters

Your sauna isn’t just another home appliance. It’s a powerful wellness tool that uses far-infrared heating technology to deliver deep, detoxifying sweat. That means it draws more power than your average household gadget—and choosing the right outlet is key to ensuring safety and performance.

⚡ Standard 110V vs. 220V: Which One Does My Outexer Sauna Use?

Most Outexer home infrared saunas are designed to be as installation-friendly as possible. That’s why many of our models—including the popular Outexer T-50C—use a standard 110V outlet. That’s the same three-prong outlet your laptop, lamp, or phone charger uses. Just plug in and relax—no special wiring needed.

However, for larger units or multi-person saunas, such as 3-person or outdoor models, we offer upgraded designs that may require a 220V outlet to support higher wattage and quicker heat-up times. These typically need a dedicated 15A–20A circuit, and installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.

Always double-check the power specifications on your product’s label or in your Outexer user manual before setup.

Tips for Safe Sauna Installation

l Use a grounded outlet to avoid electrical hazards.

l Avoid extension cords, especially for higher voltage units

l Install near a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet if in a humid space like a bathroom or basement.

l For 220V saunas, consult an electrician to ensure your home wiring meets requirements.

When Your Sauna Arrives

Once your Outexer Sauna is delivered, it’s usually a straightforward process to plug in and start enjoying the benefits. Assembly typically takes under an hour, and if your model uses a 110V plug, you can be sweating and relaxing the same evening.

Final Thoughts

Knowing the correct outlet type is a small step that makes a big difference in your sauna experience. Outexer designs its saunas with convenience in mind—but it’s always smart to understand your power requirements upfront. If you're ever unsure, our support team is here to help you make sure everything is set up safely.
