Sauna Heater

Today, many people use saunas to sweat, eliminate toxins, lose weight, and so on. A sauna heater can provide the necessary heat for the sauna room. Below, you'll find technical specs, models, brands, and prices of electric and gas sauna heaters.

Sauna Heater Review, Selection, and Pricing

When it is time to choose a sauna heater for your Sauna, it is very important to consider the size of the room and the type of power source you want to use. Electric sauna heaters are the simplest to install and work well in small spaces. Gas-powered sauna heaters, on the other hand, are more efficient and provide a softer and more comfortable heat than electric ones.


If you are looking to buy a sauna heater and do not know where to look and what to look for, DamaTajhiz HVAC is a website where you can browse, examine, compare, and purchase an ideal sauna heater from various models.


Note: Sauna heaters come with a rock tray to absorb stored heat and produce steam when water is applied to the hot rocks.

Types of Saunas

Before we get into sauna heaters, let us first explain the types of saunas very quickly. In terms of operation, saunas are divided into two categories: dry saunas, as the name implies, have a dry and non-humid space, and steam saunas, on the other hand, provide a very humid environment.


They have their advantages and disadvantages and use their type of heaters, which are completely explained in the following. In short, modern sauna heaters are divided into electric and gas-powered ones.

Dry Sauna

Dry saunas originated in Finland and hold significant cultural importance in the country; that is why a dry sauna is also called a Finnish sauna.

Finnish people have used saunas for various purposes, including outpatient surgery and childbirth, due to the fact that the high temperature and tannic acid inside the sauna room can create a sterilized environment. Moreover, tannic acid also can contract muscles.

Sauna rooms consist of wooden wall panels and hot, dry air to induce perspiration, allowing users to rid their bodies of toxins and waste materials. The temperature of the dry sauna room is between 50°C and 100°C, which is surprising at first glance.

You may ask yourself, how is it possible to breathe at that temperature when you normally run out of breath at the temperature of 45-50°C? The psychometric chart can provide a scientific explanation for this phenomenon.

Steam Sauna

The origin of steam saunas can be traced back to ancient Greece and Rome. Modern steam saunas are constructed with stone, ceramic, tiles, or other water-resistant materials with multiple vents for steam to circulate in them. The walls, ceiling, and floor are insulated and sealed to prevent steam from escaping.


The steam sauna's boy must be resistant to moisture, and the roof should be angled or curved to prevent steam condensation on the interior and water droplets on the user's skin.

Well-insulated entry and exit doors are also necessary to prevent steam from escaping.
Steam sauna's air temperature typically falls within the 40-50°C range while the relative humidity reaches nearly 100%.

Sauna Heaters & Steamers

It is necessary to distinguish the concepts of a sauna heater and a steamer. Here’s a breakdown of the main differences:

Sauna Heater

Sauna heaters in modern days can be categorized into two types: electric heaters that rely on special elements to produce heat and gas heaters that use natural or propane gas (consisting of a furnace and gas burner).

Sauna rock is used in both dry sauna heaters to retain heat. Sauna rocks enhance the sauna room's aesthetics and enable users to apply oil (eucalyptus) on the heater.


Note: Pouring essential oil directly on the furnace tray (gas dry sauna heater) or the element (electric dry sauna heater) is not feasible.

Sauna Steamer

Sauna heaters that produce steam can be categorized into two groups as well: electric steam sauna heaters, which are typically mounted behind the sauna wall, and gas heaters, which can be installed further away in the engine room.

The capacity of electric heaters and boilers depends on the size of the sauna room and whether the Sauna is public or private.

Sauna Cold Plunge

Typically, a Cold Plunge is placed next to the Sauna and maintains a temperature equivalent to that of the city water temperature, something around 10 – 12°C. The average depth of a cold plunge is usually between 1.5 and 1.6 meters.

Installing a circulator pump and water filtration and purification system for your cold plunge and other pools is recommended in order to save the water because they help conserve water and ensure your cold plunge water remains clean and contamination-free.

Consider adding these systems to your pool maintenance routine for a more eco-friendly and cost-effective approach to pool upkeep.

In some cases, the filtration system may need to be equipped to purify the water more effectively during cold plunges.

Therefore, installing a floor drain valve, which then directs to a sewage network, becomes necessary to facilitate the drainage of the cold plunge water on a weekly or daily basis.

Buying Sauna Heaters

In order to buy the most effective heater for your Sauna, you must first determine what type of sauna heater (electric or gas) is suitable for the desired space. It is also very important to pay attention to the fact that when choosing a dry sauna heater, the size of the sauna room and its usage (public or private) are considered first.

Electric sauna heaters are usually installed behind the device. However, gas-powered heaters (steam boilers) can be installed at a greater distance, such as in the engine house.
