Types of Electric Sauna Heaters
Owners of country houses and dachas, who mostly live outside the city, often like to install a sauna in their homes. It's no surprise that most people prefer electric heaters for their banya (sauna). Electric sauna heaters are easy to handle in everyday life, and the heat they produce is no worse than that from a wood-burning stove. Furthermore, today there are combined electric sauna heaters with steam function, which is crucial for a good sweating experience. They produce a gentle steam that is just as good as in a traditional Russian banya.
Why is an electric sauna heater good for your sauna?
Firstly, it's very convenient. You don't have to worry about firewood and hauling a large amount of wood into the sauna – electric sauna heaters don't require wood. Secondly, it's straightforward to set up an electric sauna heater. Modern electric sauna heaters come with user-friendly controls that allow you to adjust and control the sauna room's climate. Typically, an electric sauna heater operates in multiple modes and is suitable for both a dry sauna and a moist sauna. This means that after purchasing a sauna heater with an integrated steam generator, you can switch to the "Moist Sauna" mode at any time. Great, isn't it? Additionally, an electric sauna heater takes up relatively little space. The heater is usually installed next to the sauna door to leave enough space for benches and ensure good air circulation, while still remaining accessible. Normally, an electric heater requires a special protective enclosure to prevent accidental burns to sauna visitors.
Nowadays, the market offers a wide selection of sauna heaters that combine unique designs and practical technical solutions. Many electric sauna heaters are covered with soapstone – one of the best stones for the banya. Many have a built-in steam generator, an enlarged stone container, or a special protective coating against burns. In this diverse range, everyone can find a suitable sauna heater! Although modern electric sauna heaters are similar to wood-burning sauna stoves, they are designed to create a domestic atmosphere of harmony, warmth, and coziness in the sauna. And most importantly, electric sauna heaters can maintain the desired temperature in the sauna room at the specified level in the selected mode. This means you can always choose the mode that suits you and enjoy your sauna session in a relaxed and peaceful manner.
Which electric sauna heater to buy?
The choice of an electric sauna heater depends on the size of the room. The larger the sauna room, the more power the electric sauna heater should have. Typically, a sauna heater is selected based on 1 kW per 1 cubic meter of heating area. This is a general calculation – each model has its own heating volume settings. Regarding the manufacturer, everyone has their own preference – electric sauna heaters from Harvia and Helo are very popular. Equally interesting are the models from Tylö and Sawo. Each of them has its own features and unique characteristics.
