Widely used types of sauna heaters

  • Electric: This type of sauna heater uses electricity as its power source. It typically consists of heating elements that heat up when electricity passes through them, generating heat in the sauna.
  • Wood-burning: Wood-burning sauna heaters are fuelled by burning wood logs or firewood. They offer a traditional sauna experience and are appreciated for the natural ambiance and aroma they create.
  • Infrared: Infrared panels employ infrared radiation to heat the sauna user directly, rather than heating the air. They emit infrared rays that penetrate the body, providing a gentle and penetrating heat.
  • Combi: A combi sauna heater combines the functionality of an electric heater and a steam generator in a single unit. As a result you can determine the humidity in a very fine granular fashion.
  • Gas: Gas heaters operate using natural gas or propane as their fuel source. They are known for their quick heat-up time and efficient operation.

Popular styles of sauna stoves

  • Pillar: A pillar sauna heater is a free-standing unit that resembles a tall column or pillar. It is typically placed in the corner or centre of the sauna and provides heat from a central location. It can also be embedded into the floor of the sauna.
  • Wall-mounted: As the name indicates, a wall-mounted sauna heater is installed on the wall of the sauna. Conveniently space-saving, it doesn’t take up any floor space. This type of heater is often compact in design and securely mounted to the wall.
  • Floor-standing: A floor-standing sauna heater is a stand-alone unit that sits on the floor of the sauna. It can provide heat from a lower position, distributing warmth throughout the sauna.
  • Built-in: A built-in heater is integrated into the sauna’s structure during construction or renovation. It is designed to be concealed within the sauna, with only the controls and vents visible.
  • Corner: Corner heaters are specifically designed to fit into the corner of the sauna. They save space and provide efficient heating while maintaining a sleek and seamless appearance.

Frequently asked questions

Choosing the right sauna heater involves considering various factors, including the sauna’s size, type, power source, control options, and personal preferences. Here are a few pointers to get you going:

  • Sauna size: Calculate the volume of your sauna room to select a heater with an appropriate heating capacity. A typical family sauna for 4 persons will generally use a 6 to 9kW sauna heater.
  • Heating method: Decide between electric, wood-burning, or gas heaters based on your heating preference and the availability of the power source.
  • Control options: Consider the type of controls you prefer, such as manual controls, digital panels, or smartphone apps.
  • Quality and brand: Choose a reputable manufacturer like Harvia, Tylo or Helo. These brands are well-known for producing high-quality and reliable sauna heaters.

The ‘best’ sauna heater can vary depending on individual preferences and sauna requirements. Factors to consider when choosing a sauna heater include the sauna’s size, type (traditional or infrared), heating method (electric, wood-burning, or gas), and personal preferences for heat-up time and control options.

Harvia, Helo and Tylo offer a wide range of sauna heaters with various features to cater to different needs. Along with a few others, these sauna brands are often considered among the best due to their quality and reputation.

Sauna heaters are considered safe when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions and common sense safety guidelines. A good quality sauna heater from a brand such as Tylo, Helo or Harvia will be designed with safety features such as temperature controls, overheat protection, and automatic shut-off mechanisms.

However, it’s crucial to follow safety practices while using a sauna heater. This includes maintaining appropriate ventilation, avoiding excessive heat exposure, and staying hydrated in the sauna. Furthermore, you can increase the safety by utilising sauna heater accessories such as safety railings, cut-off switches and protective safety shields.

Sauna heaters work by heating a set of sauna stones, which then radiate heat into the sauna room. In an electric sauna heater steel elements heat the stones. Water can be poured over the heated stones to create steam, increasing humidity in the sauna. Sauna heaters are equipped with temperature controls to maintain the desired heat level and often feature timers for convenience.

Harvia sauna heaters are manufactured in Finland, a country known for its sauna culture and high-quality sauna products. Finland has a long history of producing reliable and efficient sauna heaters, and Harvia is one of the leading Finnish sauna heater manufacturers. Their heaters are crafted with precision and adhere to rigorous quality standards, making them popular choices for saunas worldwide.

The lifespan of a sauna heater depends on several factors, including the quality of the heater, its maintenance, and usage frequency. High-quality heaters, like those from reputable manufacturers, can last for decades when properly maintained.

Routine maintenance, such as cleaning the stones and inspecting electrical components, can help extend the heater’s lifespan. It’s advisable to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance and replacement parts as needed.
