Electric Sauna Heaters: Convenient, Modern Heating for Your Sauna
Why Choose an Electric Sauna Heater?
Electric heaters are popular because they simplify sauna heating. Unlike wood-burning heaters, there’s no need to prepare firewood, manage a fire, or deal with ash and smoke. Once installed correctly, you simply use the controller to select your preferred settings and let the sauna heat up.
This makes electric heaters especially practical for busy households and regular sauna users. They’re also a good choice for indoor saunas, apartments, and properties where installing a chimney or storing wood would be impractical.
Electric sauna heaters provide reliable, consistent heat, and modern controllers allow you to adjust temperature and heating times to tailor your sauna experience.
A Wide Range of Electric Sauna Heaters
Sauna Store’s collection includes various models designed for different sauna sizes, layouts, and styles. Options include wall-mounted and floor-standing heaters, as well as compact units for smaller spaces.
Current models include the HUUM Drop, Hive, and Hive Mini, along with Tulikivi’s Halla, Routa, Pyry, Kaarna, and others. The range also features heaters from IKI and other specialist brands.
This wide selection means you don’t have to compromise on performance or aesthetics. A heater can be a key visual feature, so choosing a design that complements your sauna can make a big difference.
HUUM Electric Sauna Heaters
HUUM is known for distinctive Scandinavian-inspired designs and high stone capacities. Their electric heaters emphasise sauna stones, helping produce the soft, long-lasting steam many users prefer.
The HUUM Drop is a compact model combining functionality with a unique, water-drop shape, making it a feature in any sauna. Its stone capacity supports substantial steam production. Depending on output, the Drop suits sauna rooms from about 3 to 13 cubic metres.
For larger needs, the HUUM Hive and Hive Mini offer much greater stone capacities. For example, the Hive Mini holds up to 150kg of stones and comes in 6kW, 9kW, and 10.5kW options.
Tulikivi Electric Sauna Heaters
Tulikivi offers modern designs with generous stone capacity and practical installation features.
The Halla is a wall-mounted model with a slim profile and low clearance needs, perfect for tight spaces. Available in 4.5kW, 6kW, and 9kW, it pairs with Tulikivi’s Touch Controller.
Tulikivi’s range suits customers wanting a contemporary look without compromising heat and steam quality.
Choosing the Right Heater Size
Selecting the correct output is critical. The ideal heater depends on your sauna’s cubic volume and factors like insulation, glazing, and uninsulated surfaces.
As a guideline, Sauna Store recommends about 1kW per cubic metre of sauna volume, but exact needs vary by construction.
Choosing the right size ensures efficient heating and a comfortable sauna experience. A too-small heater may struggle, while the right size offers consistent warmth.
Sauna Store’s Sauna Calculator can help determine the best size for your space.
WiFi and Touchscreen Control
Modern electric heaters can be paired with advanced controls. Sauna Store offers options like the HUUM UKU WiFi Controller, HUUM UKU Local Controller, and Tulikivi Touch Controller.
WiFi controllers let you operate your sauna remotely via smartphone, so you can start heating before you arrive. Local controllers provide simple onsite control, while the Tulikivi Touch Controller offers a touchscreen with temperature, steam, and preset features.
These choices let you pick a control system matching your preferred sauna use.
Electric Heaters for Smaller Saunas
Electric heaters work well in limited spaces. Sauna Store carries compact models like the HUUM Drop and Core and the Tulikivi Routa, ideal for smaller rooms.
When planning compact saunas, consider heater safety distances and power output, as heater placement affects usable space.
Professional Installation Is Important
Electric sauna heaters require proper electrical connections and must be installed by a qualified electrician. Depending on the heater and controller, single-phase or three-phase power may be needed.
Planning electrical requirements before purchase ensures safe, practical installation suitable for your property.
