HOW ELECTRIC SAUNA HEATERS WORK
Utilizing electrical resistance heating, the electric sauna heater uses high-resistance elements to produce heat. The heat is then transferred to sauna rocks, which evenly distribute it throughout the room. Pouring water over the hot rocks creates a burst of steam, enhancing the sauna cabin atmosphere.
TIPS FOR CHOOSING AND MAINTAINING YOUR SAUNA HEATER
Consider the total cubic footage of your exterior sauna or home sauna room and your local climate when selecting a sauna heater size - colder regions may require more powerful heater models. Regular maintenance, like cleaning the sauna rocks and inspecting heating elements, helps prolong the lifespan of your sauna heater, ensuring a safe and effective sauna experience for years to come.
RUNNING COSTS OF ELECTRIC SAUNA HEATERS
Let's consider the expenses of operating a typical electric sauna heater in a home sauna. For this example, we'll use a 4.5kW heater model:
• Electricity Consumption: A 4.5kW electric sauna heater running at full capacity uses 4.5 kilowatts of electricity per hour.
• Session Duration: A usual sauna session, including the preheat phase and time spent inside the sauna room, lasts about 1.5 hours.
• Electricity Rate: The average cost of electricity is $0.15 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), although this rate may vary depending on location and energy provider.
Cost calculation
To estimate the cost of one sauna session, use the following formula: Session Cost = Electricity Rate × Heater Power × Session Duration
For our example:
• 4.5kW × $0.15/kWh × 1.5 hours = $1.01
Thus, the cost of running a single sauna session with this electric sauna heater setup would be approximately $1.01.
Additional Tips
Keep in mind that factors like the insulation of your home sauna or commercial sauna, the type of sauna rocks used, and local energy rates can affect the overall cost.
