The sauna heater is far more than just a heat source—it shapes the atmosphere, determines efficiency, and contributes significantly to the sauna experience. The right choice not only ensures pleasant temperatures but also long-term, comfortable use.

What types of sauna heaters are there?

Wood stoves
The traditional version for true sauna enthusiasts. They create an authentic experience with the scent of wood and the view of an open fire. However, they require firewood and a ventilation system – but they offer a particularly natural sauna climate.

Electric ovens
Comfortable, low-maintenance, and easy to install—a standard electrical outlet is often sufficient. Temperature control is usually digital, making electric heaters particularly user-friendly and ideal for small to medium-sized saunas.

Infrared ovens
These specifically heat the body rather than the room air—ideal for gentle yet deeply effective sessions. They're perfect for people who are sensitive to heat or prefer long, relaxing sauna sessions.

What should you pay attention to when choosing?

  • Sauna size: The heating output must match the room volume. Use a heater output calculator to find the optimal model.

  • Use and preferences: Traditional or modern? Wood-burning stoves offer the classic sauna experience, while electric and infrared stoves are more convenient to use.

  • Functions and controls: Digital thermostats, timers, remote control or automatic start functions – modern sauna heaters offer many comfort-enhancing features.
