What is a Sauna Heater?
A sauna heater, whether electric or wood-burning, is a heating device designed to generate heat for a sauna. These heaters are celebrated for their ability to provide an authentic, relaxing sauna experience, complete with the soothing ambiance and, in the case of wood-burning models, the distinctive aroma of burning wood.
Understanding kW Ratings
The kW (kilowatt) rating of a sauna heater indicates its heating capacity. Here’s a general guide to help you choose the right kW rating for your sauna size:
- 4-6 kW: Suitable for small saunas (2-4 cubic meters)
- 6-8 kW: Ideal for medium saunas (4-8 cubic meters)
- 8-12 kW: Best for larger saunas (8-12 cubic meters)
- 12+ kW: Required for very large saunas (12+ cubic meters)
Choosing the appropriate kW rating ensures your sauna heats up efficiently and maintains the desired temperature.
