Northern Lights cedar saunas are available with three different sauna options: electric, infrared, and wood-fired – so you can choose the option that works best for you! These heaters for sauna offer unique benefits to enhance your sauna experience.
The heat is ON! Our electric sauna heaters create the maximum heat output of any heater – 150- 200ºF.
They can either be used for dry heat, or water can be added to the rocks to produce steam heat, as they’re made using high quality surgical grade rust-proof stainless steel with a lifetime warranty.
Sauna Electric heaters require 220 VAC power, and usually draw 40 amps. You will need to ensure your electrical panel can handle this power requirement.
Infrared sauna heaters use a light wave that can deeply penetrate the bodies’ surface, up to 1.5”. This makes infared sauna heating a very popular method of sport injury treatment and muscle recovery.
Lower operating temperature 120-150ºF – some sauna users find this to be a more comfortable temperature. This also means it has a shorter heat-up time.
Power requirements are usually 120 VAC, with a 15-20 Amp breaker required.
Because no steam is produced, these heaters for sauna can quickly be installed in any household location without the need for drainage or a steam venting system.

Wood fired heat is the powerhouse of all traditional Finnish saunas! It is the best type of heater for generating and retaining maximum heat, and can heat much larger areas than electrical or infrared heaters.
Even better yet - produce a larger amount of steam with its large body of rocks.
While it may be only suited for outdoor sauna applications, the glass door on the fire box provides a warm and pleasant ambiance to enjoy while sitting in your outdoor barrel sauna.
Wood fired heating is very efficient, and requires very little wood to operate – making it the most cost effective of the our heating options.
