Types of services that sauna and spa installers provide

Sauna and spa installers in New Zealand provide several different services; some even offer pool cleaning and maintenance. Here are the general types of services that you can expect from professional sauna and spa installers.

They can design a sauna or spa specific to your area and needs.

The advantages of hiring skilled sauna and spa installers

While sauna and spa installations may seem like an easy job to most, they can actually be quite complicated. You can have them installed in various ways, and each way has its own legal requirements in New Zealand. By hiring skilled installers, you ensure that whichever way you install yours, it's done legally and correctly the first time around. Professionals know how to mitigate plumbing issues. They can advise on the best and most cost-effective place to install your spa or sauna, and they have trained teams for each aspect of your project. They work with reputable manufacturers and suppliers and provide maintenance on your sauna installation and after-sales services.

How to choose the best sauna and spa installers for your project

You first need to decide where you want your spa or sauna installed because different installations require different specialists. You can then search ArchiPro for the best hot tub installation contractors in your area to create a shortlist.  

The intended location affects delivery access and the connections required for installation. For an outdoor sauna or spa, consider how it will sit within the garden and remain accessible for servicing; an indoor installation needs a suitable room and a clear route for bringing equipment in.

Check that each installer on your list is experienced in your type of project. You can also look at their online portfolios to see their work. Then set up meetings to discuss your project, obtain a quote and ask any relevant questions like the ones listed below.

  • Are any building permissions needed, and who obtains them?
  • Do you have your own teams, or will you use subcontractors?
  • Does your work come with warranties in New Zealand?
  • Do you provide cleaning or maintenance services?
  • Do you foresee any challenges, and how will you mitigate them?

FAQs

Can a swim spa be installed in-ground?

Yes. For an in-ground swim spa installation, a hole must be excavated out into which the spa may be lowered. This can be done by relevant pool design and construction professionals.

Do spas need to be fenced?

All swimming pools in New Zealand must have a barrier to prevent unauthorised entry to the immediate pool area, including small heated pools (spas, hot tubs, etc.). If they have a lockable cover and satisfy certain requirements, they do not require fencing.

Can you install a sauna in a small bathroom?

Since a sauna need not be a certain shape, it can be constructed practically anywhere. Beyond having a source of energy and enough room, there aren't really any restrictions. It is simple to install a sauna in an attic, cellar, bathroom, addition, or garden.

Do you need planning permission for a sauna?

For an indoor sauna, you won't require planning permission in New Zealand, but you could for an addition or a long-term building in your yard. You must adhere to the same regulations that apply to building and construction, as this isn't actually about the sauna itself but rather the structure it's in.
