Depending on your sauna size,you will have to choose the correct power for your electric sauna heater. If you want to get a powerful one,you can run it at lower power if more isn’t needed,but if you choose to get a too weak heater,you will not get sufficient steam for your sauna room,even at highest power.

For saunas that are between 25 and 35 square feet,we recommend getting a heater with 6kW of power. For a sauna that is up to 60 square feet,we recommend getting a 9kW heater. Anything above you should go for a 12kW heater,and below 25 square feet saunas 5kW heaters should be enough.
Wood burning sauna heaters known for the soft steam that they produce. They have more stones,and because the source of heat is burning wood,it can’t get too hot too quickly. So basically you are heating a lot of stones to a perfect temperature. These can be quite inconvenient for some,and for that reason,electric heaters are the choice for many sauna owners who wish to use their sauna on a frequent basis. Outdoor sauna kits come with electric heaters.
When you get a good quality sauna heater you will get a machine that will last with you for decades. Many sauna owners are happy to tell that the investment that they made in the beginning was worth it,and they have had the same heater for the whole time they have had a sauna.
Because there is somewhat of a difference in the heat that wood burning and electric heaters produce,some people have chosen to get both types in their sauna. That way they can use the electric heater when they are just going for a quick steam during the week,and in the weekends they can use the wood burning heater when they have friends over,and are spending even hours in the sauna.
In either case you have to pay attention to safety issues. You want a heater that doesn’t heat from the outside,but only heats the stones. This can be impossible to achieve,but with multi layer walls,some of the best sauna heaters are able to keep the outside walls cooler. This way if you accidentally touch the outside of the heater,you will not get burnt.
Another thing that is important is with electric heaters you can’t take a risk of water touching electricity. This could cause serious problems. With wood burning heaters you need to keep the sauna heater far enough from the wall,to avoid the risk of starting a fire where you don’t want one.
