Transcend® Infrared Sauna
Heater Architecture

Research and Development

They are the cornerstones of High Tech Health. We have been designing infrared saunas longer than any other company in America, and we lead the industry in research. As a result, our infrared sauna heaters have the best function and features in the industry.

Ideal Spectrum™

Infrared is a band of light that we experience as heat. The light is converted to heat by a process called resonant absorption. That’s a process where the infrared light transfers energy to the body when bonds in particular molecules resonate. Those molecules can be water, melanin (in your skin), or hemoglobin (in your blood).

Our heaters are Ideal Spectrum™ heaters. That means that they only emit far infrared, which only resonates with water molecules. This is the safest and healthiest infrared, and responsible for all of the health benefits found in studies of infrared saunas.

You Get the Complete Range of Infrared Benefits

There are dozens of studies on the health benefits from using infrared saunas and every single one of those studies used saunas that also produce infrared in the same spectrum as our Ideal Spectrum heaters.

This is why more doctors and health practitioners trust, use, and recommend High Tech Health infrared saunas than any other sauna.

A 34% More Effective Infrared Sauna

We compared the Transcend infrared heater architecture to the panel heater architecture. With some variation, the panel heater architecture is found in all of the other leading brands of infrared saunas, and is identifiable by the huge inside wall space that the heaters must cover.

In this side-by-side infrared heater comparison video, you see a time-lapse recording of the Transcend infrared sauna next to a panel heater sauna. A beaker of water sits in front of a heater in each sauna. The beaker in the Transcend sauna heats a massive 34% faster!

This is possible because Transcend heaters produce more infrared for the inside of the cabin and direct it better toward you. This means significantly more infrared for superior health benefits, faster warm up time, and greater power efficiency saving you money on your electrical bill.

Transcend infrared saunas heat 34% faster and more effectively.

Comprehensive Lowest Total EMF

High Tech Health Vitatech EMF Report

EMF are the electric and magnetic fields that emanate from all electronics. At levels seen in most saunas, they can rob the body of antioxidant resources and cause DNA strand breakage.

Our entire sauna has complete EMF mitigation, which includes both electric and magnetic fields. The High Tech Health-designed infrared heaters feature our patented Triple Antifield™ technology for EMF mitigation.

Vitatech Electromagnetics, the industry’s standard EMF evaluation company, evaluated our heater’s EMF. Instead of random spot testing or directing where they test, we asked for a report of the HIGHEST fields they could find.

Their EMF report is only 6 pages long because it’s free of unnecessary details disguising the results. Page 3 tells you everything you need to know.

Fast Warm Up Time

Our heaters reach peak infrared output in under 5 minutes! Starting from room temperature and using the sauna the way we recommend, our sauna takes only about 10 to 15 minutes before it is ready for you to get in.

High Power Efficiency

Our two-person sauna uses about the same electricity as a typical hair dryer. Using your sauna everyday will only result in a few dollars difference on your electrical bill.

Our saunas require only a 15 amp wall outlet, while most other two-person saunas require a special 20 amp wall outlet to supply the extra power they need. 

Industry Leading Reliability

Built to last. Our all-metal infrared heater design means our sauna heaters will outlast those in other saunas.  In fact, we have never replaced a heater in the history of the company.

3rd-Party Safety Tested

UL Testing

Transcend infrared heaters are one of the only infrared heaters that have been 3rd-party safety tested. This is because they are one of the only infrared heaters that can meet U.L.’s strict design requirements.

Underwriters Laboratory (U.L.) is a company that creates standards and evaluates the safety of products. Our heaters are a UL recognized component, which means UL has approved them and their materials for safety.
