Sauna Heater FAQs

What are the Different Types of Sauna Heaters?

The two types of heaters in traditional saunas for sale are either electric or wood-burning. Infrared saunas for sale are heated using infrared light, providing a very different experience. 

Electric heaters are the most popular, offering consistent heat and precise temperature control. Wood-burning stoves provide a traditional experience since they use firewood, producing a unique ambiance closer to what you’d have experienced in Finland back in the day.

How Do You Size Your Sauna Heater?

Sizing is of the utmost importance for your sauna. You don’t want to undersize it and end up dealing with delayed heat-up times or oversize it and pay more than you need to.

But, you can do it manually too. Calculate the total cubic footage of your sauna (length × width × height). Plan for about 1 kW of heating power for every 50 cubic feet for electric heaters. Add another kW or two if your sauna has windows, non-insulated walls, or other heat loss factors.

How Do You Maintain a Sauna Heater?

Maintenance will be dependent on the specific heater you choose. Electric heaters need heating elements regularly inspected and cleaned. The stones should be properly arranged to avoid overheating, and they’ll need to be replaced over the course of time.

Wood-burning stoves call for periodic cleaning of the firebox and chimney to remove soot buildup. 

Is it Possible to Convert Electric Heaters to Wood-Burning Stoves?

No, you cannot convert an electric sauna heater into a wood-burning stove. Each heater is designed for specific fuel types and operates using entirely different systems. If you want to switch, you’ll need to purchase a wood-burning stove specifically designed for saunas - or vice versa.

What are the Safety Concerns With Heating a Sauna?

Proper ventilation and maintaining safe distances between the heater and sauna walls are the two biggest concerns for keeping your sauna safe while heating it. 

You should also make sure the heater is installed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines - it may be worth hiring a professional. Avoid overloading electric haters with stones or using the wrong type of stones.

Take the time to regularly inspect wiring for electric heaters and clean chimneys for wood-burning stoves to prevent hazards.

Can You Install Your Heater Yourself or Should You Hire an Expert?

We totally understand the urge to DIY to save some money, but it’s worth paying for peace of mind on something like installing a sauna heater. This ensures your sauna adheres to electrical codes. 

Wood-burning stoves present their own challenges with proper chimney placement and venting. Just be realistic with yourself about your abilities before choosing to DIY the job.

What Goes into Installing a Sauna Heater?

Installation depends on the heater type. Either way, it’s a convoluted process and something best left to a professional. For electrical heaters installation involves wiring the heater to a dedicated circuit and mounting it securely in the sauna. 

Wood-burning stoves require proper venting, a fireproof base, and a chimney installation. Both types also require arranging sauna stones correctly for heat efficiency. 

As for gas sauna heaters, these will require proper gas supply line installation by a licensed professional. There’s a lot more risks with setting these up so leave it to an expert.

What is the Cheapest Way to Heat a Sauna?

The cheapest way to heat a sauna is often with a wood-burning stove, especially if you have access to inexpensive firewood. Electric heaters can be more expensive to operate but are efficient for small, well-insulated saunas.

Do Sauna Heaters Use a Lot of Electricity?

Electric sauna heaters are energy-intensive while in use but can be efficient when heating small, insulated saunas. On average, a 6kW heater uses about 6 kilowatts per hour, costing around $0.70-$1.20 per hour, depending on your local energy rates. 

As for wood-burning stoves, costs will depend on your firewood prices - if you live in the woods and can find fallen lumber for free, great!
