Collection: Sauna Heaters

Sauna Heaters & Smart Controls

The cabin is the theatre. The heater is the performance. A great sauna heater decides how quickly you reach temperature, how even the heat feels, and whether the steam is sharp and dry or soft and enveloping. This collection brings together our curated range of premium electric heaters and controls — plus a traditional wood-burning sauna stove for those who want the full fire-powered ritual.

Right now, you’ll find a focused lineup built around three “ownership styles”:

1) Effortless electric heat (set-and-forget)

If you want sauna to be a habit, electric is the easiest route. Our electric heaters are chosen for consistent performance, clean ownership, and the kind of warm-up reliability that makes weeknight sessions realistic. They’re ideal for modern outdoor saunas, glass-front cabins, and anyone who values simple, repeatable recovery.

2) Softer steam, richer sessions (stone-forward designs)

If you care about the feel of the sauna — not just the number on the thermometer — stone-heavy designs are where the magic lives. More stone mass generally means steadier heat and a gentler, more satisfying steam when you add water. Sculptural heaters like the HUUM DROP are loved by sauna people for a reason: the session feels deeper and more “alive”.

3) The fire-powered ritual (wood-burning sauna stove)

Some sessions are about convenience. Others are about atmosphere. A wood-burning sauna stove turns the experience into a ritual: crackling fire, a slow build, and that unmistakable traditional sauna character. If you’re building an outdoor sauna that feels like a destination, wood-fired heating is the upgrade with the biggest emotional payoff.

Smart controls: the “I’ll sauna later” killer

The biggest barrier to sauna consistency is friction. That’s why we also stock premium Wi-Fi control units like the HUUM UKU. Remote start, scheduling, and clean on-wall control can turn sauna from an occasional treat into something you do automatically — because the sauna is already warming up when you decide you need it.

Quick buying guide

• Match kW to sauna volume: the right power rating heats efficiently and holds temperature evenly.
• Decide your heat style: electric for effortless repeatability, stone-forward for softer steam, wood-burning for tradition and atmosphere.
• Consider control: Wi-Fi + scheduling makes sauna dramatically easier to use consistently.
• Plan installation early: confirm electrical supply, ventilation, safe clearances, and compatible controls before fitting.

Build your setup: choose your heater, add a smart control unit if you want remote convenience, and create a sauna experience you’ll actually repeat — week after week.

Sauna Heater FAQs

How do I choose the right kW heater?

Use your sauna’s internal volume (m³) as the starting point. Too small and the sauna struggles to heat; too large and you may waste energy or overheat quickly. If your sauna has lots of glass (especially full glass fronts), it can effectively “behave” like a bigger room, so sizing correctly matters.

What’s the difference between pillar heaters and wall heaters?

Pillar heaters (like stone-column designs) typically allow more stone contact and can feel more “even” and steam-friendly. Wall heaters are compact, efficient, and ideal where space is tighter or you want a clean, minimal layout.

Do I need a controller / control unit?

Many premium electric heaters require (or work best with) a compatible control unit. If you want remote start and scheduling, you’ll need a Wi-Fi-capable control solution (like HUUM UKU Wi-Fi) paired with a compatible heater setup.

Will Wi-Fi actually help me use the sauna more?

Yes — because it removes the “waiting” problem. Being able to pre-heat while you’re finishing work or coming home turns sauna into something you do on autopilot rather than something you negotiate with your schedule.

Is wood-burning better than electric?

It’s not “better”, it’s a different experience. Electric is cleaner and more repeatable. Wood-burning is more ritualistic and atmospheric. If you want the crackle, the slower build, and the traditional vibe, wood-fired wins. If you want consistent weeknight sessions with minimal fuss, electric wins.

What else might I need?

Depending on your setup: stones, compatible control unit, electrical components, and (for wood-burning) appropriate flue/chimney parts. Always confirm installation requirements and safety clearances for your specific cabin and heater choice.
