At Sauna Specialist, we offer a wide selection of electric sauna heaters designed for efficient heating, long term durability, and an authentic sauna experience for residential and commercial installations.
Electric sauna heaters are available in several designs to suit different sauna layouts, room sizes, and installation preferences. Below are the four main types of electric sauna heaters, each offering unique advantages depending on your sauna setup and desired experience.

Wall mounted electric sauna heaters are ideal for small to medium sized saunas where space efficiency is important. These heaters are mounted directly on the wall, allowing for quick heat up times while maximizing usable bench space. They are a popular choice for home saunas and compact indoor installations.

Pillar electric sauna heaters feature a tall, cylindrical design with a large stone capacity. This allows for softer, more even heat distribution and an enhanced steam experience. Pillar heaters are suitable for both private and public saunas and are often chosen for their modern appearance and improved heat circulation.

Electric sauna heaters can be controlled in two main ways. Some models feature built-in controls directly on the heater, while others use a separate digital control unit â including optional remote control via the MyHarvia2 app.
Electric sauna heaters with a built-in controller feature integrated temperature and timer controls directly on the heater. This all-in-one design allows you to easily adjust heat and session time at the unit itself, without requiring a separate control panel. Built-in controls are simple, reliable, and ideal for residential saunas where ease of use and straightforward operation are a priority. These heaters are commonly used in home saunas, cottages, and smaller sauna rooms.
Electric sauna heaters with a separate control unit use an external digital controller to manage temperature, session time, and operating modes. The control panel is typically installed outside the sauna for convenience and safety. Select models are compatible with MyHarvia, allowing you to control and monitor your sauna remotely from your smartphone. This setup offers advanced features such as precise temperature adjustment, scheduling, and remote start, making it ideal for premium home saunas, commercial installations, and users who want smart control and maximum flexibility.
