Advantages of electric sauna heaters
When deciding to build your own sauna, one of the first questions you have to answer to is “what type of sauna heater or sauna stove is most suitable for me?” I can ensure you that there is no right answer at this question and it depends on some conditions like geographic location, local regulations or costs. When choosing a type of sauna heater, take into account that all three types, electric sauna heaters, gas sauna heaters and wood burning sauna heaters have the same functions, you just have to decide which type is the best option for you. Here are some circumstances or conditions that can influence your choice:
Wood burning sauna heaters
Who can resist the temptation of a relaxing ambiance for the sauna bather, with the heat, the smell of the wood and the sound of the fire? If you are looking to create your own, intimate place, the best option for your sauna heater is the wood burning stove.
Electric vs. gas sauna heaters
To decide between the two of them, first take into consideration what provides the heating for your home. So, if you live in a gas-heated home probably is best to buy a gas sauna heater. But, if electricity provides the heat in your house, you should purchase an electric sauna heater. You must, also, look at the costs, gas sauna heater can be more economic than electric ones because the heat is more reliable and easier to adapt. Living in an area with difficulties in accessing electricity might be also a problem.
But electric sauna heaters have their advantages, being the most commonly used in urban areas, where electricity has no restrictions. The absence of any odor while operating is another thing that place the electric sauna heater above the other two.
If you still have doubts, you can always ask for a professional opinion at any qualified sauna dealer or manufacturer. If they don’t offer you the answers to these questions, is better to buy your sauna from elsewhere because their knowledge about sauna is also minimal.
