Sauna Heaters

The heater brings the warmth and steam to your sauna sessions, making it the most important piece of the entire build. With several models to choose from, you get to decide how your sauna experience feels from start to finish. We offer electric and wood-burning heaters in a variety of styles to help you find exactly what you’re looking for.

Choosing between an electric and wood-burning heater is all about how you plan to enjoy your sauna.

• Electric Sauna Heaters: Convenient and simple, electric sauna heaters are the ideal choice for daily sessions. These heaters can be paired with a WiFi controller, allowing you to activate your sauna remotely so it’s ready when you are.
• Wood-Burning Sauna Heaters: An authentic, hands-on experience, these heaters make chopping wood and building a fire part of the sauna ritual. They’re the ideal choice for slow weekend sessions where time isn’t a factor.
  

Most heaters use either an open or closed-basket design. These styles have a direct impact on your sauna’s aesthetic and the quality of the steam.

Open-basket heaters celebrate the stones, turning them into a defining feature of the sauna interior. Keeping the stones exposed also lets you use their full surface area to create softer steam.

Closed-basket heaters keep the stones contained for a more traditional style. They also have smaller safety distances than open-basket heaters, making them well suited for tighter layouts.

A heater’s stone capacity has a direct impact on how long the sauna stays hot, how the steam feels, and how long it takes for the sauna to heat up.

• Small stone capacities - Faster heat-up times and sharp bursts of steam
• Large stone capacities - Softer steam with long-lasting heat

Generally, you want to choose the heater with the largest stone capacity that fits your sauna’s adjusted cubic feet.

Pick a heater style that works with your layout.

If you’re building a smaller cabin where every inch counts, a wall-mounted heater will save you space. For big saunas with lots of room, a free-standing heater will let you get the most stones for lasting heat and soft steam.

You can also embed a free-standing heater into the sauna bench, giving you greater stone capacity in a tight layout.

We offer five different heater brands to choose from. While each has its own special focus, they all deliver high temperatures and gentle steam.

• Harvia - One of the oldest and most trusted names in the sauna heater industry.

Picking a sauna heater involves calculating your sauna’s adjusted cubic feet, checking safety distances, and finding a model that fits your layout style.
