However, sauna heaters are significant for both indoor and outdoor saunas. They come in three different varieties i.e. electric, wood-fired and infrared. Go through the sauna heating choices discussed below and make the right selection for your sauna.

Electric Sauna Heater –

This sauna heater provides a maximum heat output of 150-200 degrees Fahrenheit. It can either be used as dry heat or you can add water to the rocks to produce steam heat. This heat will open the pores of your body while causing your body to sweat.

The steam generated by the sauna helps in improving the respiratory system. This sauna heater needs 220 VAC for its operation and draws 40 amps. Hence, you should make sure that the electric panel can handle this power requirement before the installation.

Infrared Sauna Heater –

This sauna heating system works at a much lower temperature of 120-150 degrees Fahrenheit. Some sauna enthusiasts find this temperature range more comfortable to handle. The infrared uses the light wave that can penetrate deeply to the body surface up to 1.5”.

The infrared sauna heater works well on muscles and is used widely for recovering from a sports injury. It requires very little time for heating up and 120 VAC with a 15-20 Amp breaker. The unit doesn’t produce steam and can be installed quickly in any house location without requiring a drainage or steam venting system.

Wood Fired Sauna Heater-

A wood-fired sauna heater is the powerhouse of all types of traditional Finnish saunas. It works by generating and retaining the maximum amount of heat and can be able to heat much larger areas than its counterparts. It has a large body for rocks which allows the system to produce a larger amount of steam.

The only demerit of this heater is that it’s well-suited for outdoor sauna applications. The glass door present on the firebox brings warmth and pleasure to the overall ambiance. This system is very efficient and requires a very less amount of wood to operate. All of them make the unit the most affordable sauna heaters.
