What are the costs of running a commercial sauna stove?
To heat up one of our commercial, electric-fuelled sauna stoves, you will need about 100-150 kW of power in a steam room with a floor area of approximately 30 m2. One heating cycle is sufficient to guarantee 24 hours of steam in commercial mode. Wood or gas works out cheaper but is less convenient from the point of view of commercial operation.
How much can I expect to pay for my sauna per month? (How much can I expect to pay monthly for my sauna?)
To heat up one of our electric-fuelled stoves will take 100 kW of power. This kind of stove would suit a steam room with a floor area of 10 m2. One heating cycle will keep the sauna at the necessary temperature for 2 days in domestic mode and 1 day in commercial mode. A re-heat requires less than half the amount of electrical power. Using firewood or gas works out cheaper if you're not taking advantage of a night-time economy rate.
Should I have a drain installed in my sauna? (Does my sauna need to have a drain installed?)
You won’t need the use of a drain during a steam session but you might need one for cleaning purposes and of course, it is an essential element of the shower room.
What size stove do I need for my sauna? (What is the appropriate heater size for my sauna?)
For a steam room with a floor area of 10 m2, a typical stove would measure 1100 x 1100 x 2300 mm, where 2300 mm is the stove height. A more precise answer to this question can only be provided after carrying out a thermo-technical calculation of the steam room, taking into account a multitude of factors aside from the dimensions of the room.
Do your gas stoves only work with a gas mains supply?
Aside from the mains gas supply, our stoves will also work using a Gazgolder (a private tank of liquified gas) or a bundle of several cylinders.
