Electric sauna heaters were introduced in the 1930s. Prior to that, all saunas were heated with fire. The introduction of electric heaters revolutionized the sauna industry. |

Another bonus is that an electric sauna heater needs very little maintenance. Most are manufactured from stainless steel and need an occasional wipe with a soft cloth and a mild detergent. It is best to avoid using anything harsh that will scratch the finish and therefore cause rust.
Generally, larger units stand on the floor, and smaller heaters are mounted on a wall. A typical wall-mounted heater might measure 16 inches wide x 11 inches deep x 24 inches high. The more powerful floor heaters are usually deeper and up to 32 inches high. A timer should come with most.
Don't put too much water on the heater. “Throw water onto the stones, one to three ladles are enough at a time. After a couple of minutes you can throw little water again.” |

Common
Sauna Heaters The 'normal' electric sauna heater consists of a heating element and a tray to hold the heated rocks. Traditional sauna rocks are igneous stones from Finland. When switched on, the heat (radiant heat) from the heating elements inside the unit is transfers to the rocks, which in turn produces the high temperatures. The thermostat attached to the unit monitors and controls the room temperature as set by you. Before ordering a sauna the size of the heater (i.e. heating capacity) needs to be calculated to match the size of the sauna room. Manufacturers will calculate this for you. If they don't, move on to another supplier. |

For obvious safety reasons it's advisable never to use a sauna without control over the temperature and/or time. Links |
