Infrared sauna for an apartment

Lease and HOA first. Then 120V-class kit realism — not FD-3 or a backyard cabin.

Get written permission before freight shows up.

Apartment checklist

Lease / HOA — alterations, weight, heat, insurance.
Floor load — FD-1 listing ~301 lb product weight (UNVERIFIED) + you.
Power — 120V-class FD-1/FD-2 on listings; still respect dedicated-circuit language (electrician guide).
Delivery — elevator size, stairs, building freight rules.
Vent / moisture — towel plan; don’t steam the drywall.
Exit strategy — can you sell/move the kit when the lease ends?

Who should skip

Skip if the lease forbids it or management won’t write approval.
Skip FD-3 in most rentals (240V + size).
Skip outdoor cabin links for a walk-up rental.
Skip medically if heat stress is off-limits.

Bottom line

Apartment IR = permission + 120V realism + small kit (FD-1) or owner custom (Sierra). Not FD-3, not Sweaty Yeti.
