Installing Electric Sauna Heaters

1. 5 Useful Tips to Consider for Installing Electric Sauna Heaters

2. Are you installing electric sauna heaters? If yes, you’ve made a good decision. A sauna can be heated through different heating sources like infrared, wood, gas and electricity. However, electric sauna heaters are the most convenient and can be the safest possible heating options if they are installed perfectly.  • Generally, an electric sauna heater works on radiating heat and warming a bed typically with rocks on it to which water can be added. The sauna heater generates steam that creates latent heat, moisture and sauna like ambiance. Here are a few tips you should consider before choosing this heating method.

3. Check for the building codes.  • You should ensure that before you plan and buy your sauna kit and sauna heater, it meets all building codes. You should feel free to consult with a professional, licensed electrician before installing an electric sauna heater. In some circumstances, a licensed electrician can help you install the sauna heater; so better check before the installation.  • Check for wattage.  • You want to make sure that you invest in a heating system that will not only be capable enough to heat the sauna room but want to ensure that it works with your existing electric system. Most circuits on your house electric panels are 110-120 volts. You will require specific wiring and breakers that deliver 220-240 volts for your sauna heater. In every situation, the sauna will need its own dedicated circuit to be installed. 

4. Check for different heaters. • You should always choose the right heater for your sauna. How easy it is to control the heat output? Is it safe or powerful enough to heat the sauna? These are the important factors you should consider.  • If you own an outdoor sauna, you should make sure that it has accessibility to electricity. What will be the budget to run power to the sauna? In some situations, a wood burning sauna heater can be the ideal alternative in an outdoor sauna.  • Consider special factors. • Remember that, a wet environment, moisture and electricity don’t go hand in hand. You want to make sure that your sauna room is safe enough to use. However, you will take additional care of electric components from moisture and wetness.  • One more important thing is that the heater you purchase is UL/CSA certified. It’s better to know what you are doing during the installation process or the contractor you hire is responsible and dependable. They must know how to install the sauna systems better. 

5. Check for clearance distances. • Every sauna manufacturer must have required clearance restrictions built on the labeling or in the instruction manual. This is the main requirement of a certified electric sauna heater. You should follow these requirements thoroughly to avoid any liabilities. Clearances can vary from a sauna to another and every manufacturer should be clear about the measurements before the installation.  • Final Consideration – • Do you need help with the selection of electric sauna heaters?
