Cedar Barrel Saunas

Creating the perfect home sauna experience starts with selecting the right combination of a sauna kit and a compatible heater. With a wide variety of premium sauna heaters available, finding the ideal match can be overwhelming. That’s why it’s important to consider a few key factors before making your decision.

1. Start with the Right Sauna Size

The size of your sauna plays a crucial role in determining the appropriate heater. First, decide where in your home the sauna will be installed—this helps narrow down your size options. Consider how many people will be using it at once. If you plan to share your sauna experience with family or friends, opt for a larger unit to ensure everyone is comfortable.

2. Select the Type of Sauna Heater

Your choice of sauna heater largely depends on your personal preferences and the sauna experience you desire. The three most common types include:

• Electric Sauna Heaters: Ideal for a traditional sauna experience, these heaters warm the air to high temperatures. They typically include stones that can be sprinkled with water to produce soothing steam.

• Wood-Burning Sauna Heaters: These provide an authentic, rustic sauna experience. Requiring no electricity, they are a great option for remote locations or those who prefer a more traditional, hands-on heating method. Wood-fired heaters heat up quickly, offer natural temperature control, and are energy-efficient.

• Infrared Sauna Heaters: Unlike traditional options, infrared heaters use light to heat the body directly rather than warming the air. They’re energy-efficient and popular for health-focused users seeking deep muscle relaxation and detox benefits.

3. Choose the Right Wood for Construction

The type of wood used in your sauna is essential for durability, insulation, and overall comfort. High-quality woods like Grade A Western Red Cedar, used by Northern Lights, are naturally resistant to moisture and decay, offer superior insulation, and add a pleasant aroma to your sauna experience.

Why Choose Wood-Fired Sauna Heaters?

Wood-burning sauna heaters are among the most cost-effective and traditional heating options available. They’re perfect for sauna enthusiasts who appreciate a hands-on, off-grid approach. With lower installation and operating costs, these heaters are ideal for those who enjoy tending to the fire and embracing the timeless charm of a classic sauna.
