Premium Sauna Heaters for Traditional Sauna Rooms
The sauna heater is the heart of a traditional sauna, creating the heat that warms the room and the sauna stones used to produce steam. At Infinity Saunas, you can choose from premium sauna heaters and complete heater packages designed for different sauna sizes, layouts, installation requirements, and preferences.
Our selection includes electric sauna heaters from leading manufacturers such as Harvia and HUUM, along with wood-burning sauna stoves for customers who want a more traditional heating setup. From compact wall-mounted heaters to high-capacity pillar and floor-standing designs, you can find a heater suited to a wide range of residential sauna projects.
Electric Sauna Heaters for Modern Home Saunas
Electric sauna heaters are a popular choice for residential sauna rooms because they provide convenient operation without requiring firewood, a chimney, or a wood-burning stove installation. Depending on the model, electric heaters can be wall-mounted or floor-mounted and controlled using a dedicated digital control system.
Electric sauna heaters also make it easier to integrate features such as temperature control, operating timers, lighting controls, delayed start, and optional WiFi connectivity. The exact features and electrical requirements vary by heater, so always review the specifications for the model you choose.
Electric Sauna Heater Packages
A complete sauna heater package can simplify the purchasing process by combining the heater with compatible controls and sauna stones. Some packages also offer optional WiFi controls, giving you a more complete heating system without having to source each component separately.
Harvia Sauna Heaters
Harvia is one of the most recognized names in sauna heating, with electric heater designs ranging from compact residential models to larger systems for spacious sauna rooms. Harvia heaters are known for their combination of Finnish sauna engineering, practical controls, and distinctive stainless-steel construction.
Harvia Cilindro PC110E 10.5kW Sauna Heater
The Harvia Cilindro PC110E is a 10.5kW pillar-style electric sauna heater designed for sauna rooms from 141 to 636 cubic feet. Its tall cylindrical design provides a large stone capacity and allows water to be added to the heated stones to create steam.
The current Infinity Saunas package includes the Cilindro PC110E, a Harvia Xenio CX45 control package, and six boxes of Harvia AC3000 Special Sauna Stones. The heater uses a 240V single-phase electrical connection and can be installed near a side wall or in a corner according to the manufacturer's installation requirements.

Harvia Virta HL90E 9kW Sauna Heater
The Harvia Virta HL90E is a 9kW floor-mounted electric sauna heater designed for sauna rooms from 177 to 494 cubic feet. Its vertical steel construction includes a separate stone compartment and downward-facing heating elements, with the heating elements separated from the sauna stones for convenient service access.
The Infinity Saunas package includes the Harvia Virta HL90E, a Xenio CX45 control package, and Harvia AC3020 sauna stones. The heater operates on 240V single-phase power and uses approximately 110 pounds of sauna stones.
HUUM Sauna Heaters
HUUM takes a distinctive approach to sauna heater design, combining modern Scandinavian-inspired aesthetics with large stone capacities and compact heater footprints. HUUM electric sauna heaters are available in several configurations for homeowners who want a contemporary centerpiece inside their traditional sauna.
HUUM Drop 9kW Electric Sauna Heater
The HUUM Drop 9kW features a distinctive water-drop-inspired shape and a compact wall-mounted design. It is designed for sauna rooms from 283 to 460 cubic feet and operates on 240V single-phase power.
The exposed stone design allows the heater to hold up to 132 pounds of sauna stones. The current Infinity Saunas package includes the HUUM Drop heater, UKU control system, HUUM sauna stones, wall-mount bracket, temperature sensor, door sensor, control module, and installation documentation.
Traditional Sauna Heaters With Sauna Stones
Traditional sauna heaters use heated stones as an important part of the sauna experience. Once the stones reach operating temperature, water can be poured over them to create steam and temporarily increase humidity inside the sauna room.
The amount and type of sauna stones required varies by heater. Large-capacity heaters such as the Harvia Cilindro and HUUM Drop are designed around substantial stone loads, while other heaters use different stone compartments and configurations.
Always use the type, size, and quantity of sauna stones specified by the heater manufacturer. Proper stone installation helps the heater operate as designed and supports appropriate airflow around the heating elements.
Wall-Mounted vs. Floor-Mounted Sauna Heaters
Sauna heater installation style can make a significant difference when planning your sauna interior. Wall-mounted heaters can help preserve floor space, while floor-mounted heaters can provide a larger visual presence and different stone configurations.
Wall-Mounted Sauna Heaters
Wall-mounted heaters are a practical choice for sauna rooms where floor space is limited. The HUUM Drop, for example, uses a compact wall-mounted design that keeps the heater elevated while creating a distinctive focal point on the sauna wall.
Floor-Mounted Sauna Heaters
Floor-mounted heaters can work well in larger sauna rooms and are available in a variety of shapes and stone capacities. The Harvia Virta HL90E uses a vertical floor-mounted configuration, while the Harvia Cilindro uses a tall pillar-style design.
Sauna Heater Controls and Smart Features
Modern sauna heaters can offer much more than a simple on-and-off switch. Digital control systems allow you to adjust temperature and operating time while selected systems can also control lighting, ventilation, delayed start, and other sauna functions.
Harvia Xenio Controls
The Harvia Xenio CX45 control system included with selected Infinity Saunas heater packages provides control over temperature and operating time, as well as connected lighting and fan functions. An optional WiFi upgrade can provide access to compatible MyHarvia features such as remote temperature adjustment, scheduling, timed start, and lighting control.
HUUM UKU Controls
The HUUM UKU control system provides temperature, operating-time, and delayed-start controls. Depending on the selected configuration, UKU can also provide WiFi connectivity, allowing compatible functions to be managed through the HUUM mobile application.
Sauna Heater Power and Room Size
Choosing the correct heater output is one of the most important parts of designing a traditional sauna. Heater capacity is generally matched to the volume of the sauna room, while factors such as glass surfaces, insulation, exterior walls, and room construction can also affect the final heater requirement.
For example, the Harvia Cilindro PC110E is rated at 10.5kW and is designed for rooms from 141 to 636 cubic feet, while the Harvia Virta HL90E is rated at 9kW for rooms from 177 to 494 cubic feet. The HUUM Drop 9kW is designed for rooms from 283 to 460 cubic feet.
These examples demonstrate why selecting a sauna heater based only on kilowatt rating is not enough. Always compare the heater's approved room-volume range with the actual specifications of your sauna.
Electric vs. Wood-Burning Sauna Heaters
Electric and wood-burning sauna heaters can both create an authentic traditional sauna environment, but they require different installation approaches.
Electric Sauna Heaters
Electric heaters are convenient for many residential installations and provide straightforward temperature and operating-time control. They are available in wall-mounted and floor-mounted designs and can be paired with digital controls and optional smart features.
Wood-Burning Sauna Stoves
Wood-burning sauna stoves provide a more traditional heating method and can be especially appealing for outdoor saunas or properties where a wood-burning installation is practical. They require appropriate ventilation, chimney components, clearances, and installation according to the manufacturer's requirements and applicable local codes.
Infinity Saunas offers both electric and wood-burning sauna heating options for different traditional sauna projects.
Sauna Heaters for Indoor and Outdoor Saunas
The right sauna heater depends not only on room size but also on where the sauna will be installed. Indoor sauna rooms and outdoor sauna cabins can have different construction, insulation, ventilation, and electrical requirements.
When selecting a heater for an outdoor sauna, pay close attention to the manufacturer's approved installation configuration and electrical requirements. For indoor installations, consider the available floor space, heater clearances, ventilation, and control placement.
Explore our indoor sauna collection and outdoor sauna collection to find sauna rooms that can be paired with compatible traditional heating systems.
How to Choose the Right Sauna Heater
Selecting the right sauna heater starts with matching the heater to your sauna room and installation requirements. Consider the following before purchasing:
- Sauna room volume: Check the manufacturer's approved cubic-foot range for the heater.
- Heater output: Compare the required kilowatt rating with your sauna's construction and room volume.
- Installation type: Decide whether a wall-mounted or floor-mounted heater works best for your layout.
- Stone capacity: Consider the amount and type of sauna stones required by the heater.
- Electrical requirements: Verify voltage, phase, amperage, and wiring requirements before installation.
- Controls: Choose between standard controls and optional WiFi or smart-control features where available.
- Sauna design: Consider the heater's dimensions, safety clearances, and location within the room.
- Installation requirements: Follow the manufacturer's installation manual and applicable local electrical and building requirements.
