Oakland's housing mix—Craftsman bungalows, renovated Victorians, duplexes, ADUs, and backyard studios—creates unique opportunities for at-home sauna use. Our plug-in 120V saunas work extremely well with older electrical panels and fit perfectly in small rooms, garages, or outdoor decks.
Oakland's growing recovery and wellness culture—from runners hitting Lake Merritt trails to cyclists climbing the hills to desk-bound tech workers recovering from long hours—has created real demand for consistent sauna access. But buying a sauna means construction, electrical work, and a big upfront purchase. For renters (which many Oaklanders are), that doesn't work.
That's where SF Sauna comes in. We deliver and install plug-in saunas with no contractors, no permits, and no permanent changes to your home. Whether you're in a fog pocket in Montclair, the warmer flats near Lake Merritt, or a duplex in Temescal, sauna use fits seamlessly into Oakland's microclimates and lifestyle.
We deliver and install plug-in saunas anywhere in Oakland, covering every major neighborhood, including:
We've installed saunas across Oakland in a wide range of settings. A recent Rockridge install went into a converted garage—the customer wanted a wellness space separate from the main house. The modular panels fit through a 30-inch door and setup took 45 minutes. In Temescal, we set up an infrared sauna in a small spare bedroom in a 1920s duplex. The narrow stairwell and tight hallway corners were no issue thanks to the modular design. Up in Montclair, we installed an outdoor Finnish sauna on a backyard deck with a steep approach—our team used dollies to navigate the hill and had it running in under an hour.
Oakland's older Craftsman homes, narrow driveways, and steep hillsides require some planning, but our modular panel system handles it all. Most installs take 30–50 minutes. All you need is one standard 120V outlet on a 15A circuit (the same outlet you'd use for a space heater or hair dryer). We handle Oakland-specific delivery quirks—limited street parking, side gate access, stepped entries, tight indoor turns—on a regular basis. If your space has power and fits a 48\" × 42\" footprint, we can make it work.

We navigate Oakland's hills (especially Montclair and upper Rockridge) with dollies and modular panels designed for tight spaces. The sauna arrives in panels small enough to fit through narrow Craftsman hallways, steep staircases, side gates, basement entries, and duplex stairwells.
Once we're inside, setup takes about 45 minutes. All you need to prepare is one standard 120V outlet and enough floor space (48\" × 42\"). We assemble the panels, plug it in, test it, and show you how to use it. You don't need any tools or electrical knowledge.
Free maintenance and support are included with your rental. If anything needs attention, we handle it. When you're ready to end your rental or move, we pick it up and remove it—no hassle, no damage, no trace left behind.
