Sauna Heaters — FAQs

What types of sauna heaters are available?

There are two primary types: electric heaters and wood-burning heaters. Electric models offer precise control and ease of use, while wood-burning units provide a traditional experience with natural heat and aroma.

How do I size a sauna heater correctly?

The right heater size depends on the sauna’s cubic footage. Generally, one kilowatt of heater power is needed for every 45 cubic feet of sauna volume. Insulation, glass, and ceiling height can also affect sizing.

What is the difference between electric and wood-burning heaters?

Electric heaters provide fast, controllable heat and are easy to install. Wood-burning heaters require no electricity, offer a traditional experience, and often generate higher humidity levels when water is poured on the stones.

Do sauna heaters need special wiring?

Yes. Electric heaters typically require a dedicated circuit with appropriate amperage and voltage. Professional installation by a licensed electrician is recommended to ensure safety and compliance with local codes.

How hot do sauna heaters get?

Most heaters operate within 150–190°F (65–90°C). Wood-burning units can sometimes reach higher peaks, depending on airflow and stove size. Temperature is adjusted with built-in or external controls.

What stones should I use with my sauna heater?

Special igneous sauna stones are designed to handle repeated heating and cooling. Avoid regular rocks, as they may crack or explode when exposed to high heat and water.

How often do sauna heaters need maintenance?

Routine tasks include cleaning dust or ash, checking wiring or chimney integrity, and replacing worn stones. Most electric heaters last 8–12 years with proper care, while wood-burning stoves can last decades.

Do sauna heaters include warranties?

Yes. All of our heaters come with manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and model. Warranty coverage typically includes heating elements, controls, and major components.
