A cold sauna is amenity revenue walking out the door
A sauna or steam room is a headline amenity at a spa, hotel, gym or country club — members and guests notice the day it goes cold, and the front desk hears about it. Commercial units are not scaled-up home saunas: they run 6 to 18kW three-phase heaters on long, hard duty cycles, with high-limit safeties, GFCI protection and digital controls that all have to keep working in a wet, hot room. That is why we dispatch sauna and steam calls fast across South Florida, with member-facing spa and hotel rooms prioritized.
Berne Commercial Repair services every common platform — Tylö and Helo, Finnleo, Amerec, Saunacore, Polar HMI and Harvia electric sauna heaters and controls, FAR-IR infrared rooms, and steam generators from Mr.Steam, Amerec and Tylö on the steam side. A dry sauna and a steam room are genuinely different machines — the steam room adds a generator, fill solenoid, water-level probes and an auto-drain that South Florida water scales and fouls — and our 18 W-2 technicians service both. If the wellness deck also runs a heated pool or spa, our commercial pool heater repair team covers that too.
We are an independent commercial service company — not a dealership and not an authorized agent of any sauna or steam brand. For in-warranty equipment, use the manufacturer's network first; it is free for you. Out of warranty, we are typically faster, carry common heater elements, contactors and generator parts on the truck, and give you honest repair-vs-replace math.

A spa or hotel sauna heater is a 6 to 18kW three-phase load running far longer duty cycles than a home unit, so contactors weld, elements open a phase, and high-limits fatigue. We diagnose across all three phases and verify the contactor and high-limit chain — a dropped leg is the single most common reason a commercial heater quits heating.
A steam room runs off a separate steam generator — Mr.Steam, Amerec, Tylö — with a heating element, fill solenoid, water-level probes and an auto-drain. South Florida water scales them fast, fouls the probes, and clogs the drain. Descaling, probe service and solenoid work keep the steam coming; a dry sauna heater never touches any of that.
High-limit cutoffs, GFCI protection and proper grounding are what stand between your members and a liability claim. When a heater nuisance-trips or runs hot, the answer is never to jumper a safety — it is to find the element ground fault, the moisture-damaged wiring or the failed control. We repair to code and leave the safeties working.
Sauna & steam symptoms, likely causes & typical repair costs
Real numbers from our South Florida service tickets — parts plus labor, before any contract pricing. The $89 commercial service call covers the diagnosis and is free when you approve the repair — the fee applies only if you decline.
