What drives home price [edit]
Home size, clear cedar grade, heater system (VantaWave vs import carbon), bench red-light integration, glass + controls, and home electrical run length. Red-light benches and 360° home coverage cost more than bare wall panels — they also dose more at home.[1]
Home running cost [edit]
1.5–3 kW home cabins × 0.5 hr × ~$0.20/kWh = ~$0.30–$0.60 per 30-min home session. Red-only home mode sips power (LEDs only) — ideal for nightly home use without heat.[1]
Avoid: wrong home circuit, missing ventilation gap, cheap home heaters, no seated EMF proof — often pricier to fix at home than to engineer once.
Try it: enter your home numbers in the cost & payback calculator — upfront, $/session, payback months vs spa, 5-year savings.
