Sauna Heater Sizing & Electrical Planning
Right-sized heaters, safe clearances, and electrical requirements tailored to your room.
Heater sizing is critical for performance and comfort. An undersized heater struggles to reach temperature, while an oversized unit can create harsh heat and inefficient cycling. We calculate heater size based on room volume, insulation, glazing, and material choices. We also provide guidance for electrical planning so your contractor and electrician can scope the work confidently.
What We Include
- Heater sizing recommendations based on room volume and heat loss factors.
- Electrical requirements and suggested circuit sizing.
- Heater placement, clearances, and safety considerations.
- Control placement guidance for convenience and code compliance.
- Ventilation considerations that support heater performance.
Electric and Wood-Fired Options
We can plan for electric or wood-fired heaters depending on your preferences and site constraints. For electric units, we coordinate power requirements and control placement. For wood-fired heaters, we account for combustion air, clearances, and safe venting pathways.
