Installation and Maintenance Considerations
Installation and maintenance differ significantly between electric and wood-burning heaters. Electric heaters generally require professional electrical installation, while wood-burning stoves need proper venting and chimney setup.

In contrast, wood-burning stoves require regular cleaning of the firebox and chimney to ensure safe and efficient operation. Wood burning saunas and Harvia's wood-burning heaters offer a distinct set of considerations for any traditional sauna.
Cost Analysis of Electric vs. Wood Burning Heaters
A cost analysis of electric versus wood-burning heaters involves several factors. While electric heaters may have a lower initial purchase price, electricity costs can add up over time. Wood-burning stoves require an initial investment in the stove and chimney system, but the cost of wood may be lower depending on availability. Furthermore, the convenience and built-in features of electric heaters must be weighed against the unique ambiance of a wood burning sauna heater.
