Harvia invests in sustainability in product design, production and logistics. A durable product is sustainable in itself thanks to its long useful life. The products are designed to be repairable, and Harvia offers a comprehensive range of spare parts for maintenance and repairs. Another significant factor is the good recyclability of both the materials used in products and of the product itself. Harvia’s products in Finland and Germany are manufactured from over 90 percent recycled steel. Steel itself is 100 percent recyclable.
Product quality, safety and reliability are of paramount importance to Harvia.
All heaters meet the requirements of the target market legislation. Harvia carries out continuous testing of its products to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations and requirements. Harvia also studies the energy consumption of electric heaters in different set-ups in its own test saunas.
Harvia is actively involved in industry standardization internationally through research projects and committees. The company is also contributing to the EU level standardization work for residential solid fuel burning appliances, which includes cleaner burning.
It’s important that our end-customers always select the right product for their need – and they know how to use, maintain and recycle our products in a sustainable manner.
Timo Harvia, Head of Innovation and Technology
Harvia actively guides end-users on the responsible use of its products and is committed to research and development to minimize emissions and optimize energy efficiency. The company uses responsible and sustainably sourced materials.
Harvia products are designed to be safe to use, easy to maintain, and long-lasting. We build trust and long-term customer relationships by offering safe and reliable products and solutions. To enhance the customer experience, we offer guidance on product selection and on using the sauna as energy-efficiently as possible. In 2024, Harvia filmed a series of instructional videos covering topics such as what to consider when choosing a heater for your home sauna and how to use the MyHarvia mobile app.
