HUUM Sauna Heaters - Electric & Wood-Burning Models

HUUM Sauna Heaters – Award-Winning Estonian Design & Innovation

HUUM is an Estonian sauna heater manufacturer renowned for pushing the boundaries of sauna innovation while honoring traditional sauna culture. Combining sleek Scandinavian-inspired design with exceptional engineering, HUUM creates electric and wood-burning sauna heaters that deliver authentic Finnish sauna experiences with modern convenience and striking aesthetics.

Why Choose HUUM Sauna Heaters?

HUUM heaters are designed with three core principles: maximum stone capacity, minimal space usage, and beautiful design. Their signature approach features clean lines, premium materials, and innovative heating technology that produces soft, enveloping steam (löyly) for the ultimate sauna experience.

Every HUUM heater accommodates an exceptionally large volume of stones—often exceeding traditional heaters by 50-100%—ensuring softer, longer-lasting heat and the ability to pour generous amounts of water for intense steam without cooling the heater.

HUUM Sauna Heater Frequently Asked Questions

HUUM heaters are designed with exceptionally large stone capacities—often 50-100% more than traditional heaters. The DROP series, for example, holds 122 lbs of stones in a compact wall-mounted design. This massive stone volume produces softer, longer-lasting steam (löyly) and allows you to pour generous amounts of water without cooling the heater. HUUM also emphasizes award-winning Scandinavian design that's as beautiful as it is functional.

Yes! HUUM's UKU WiFi Controller allows you to control your sauna remotely via smartphone app. You can preheat your sauna, adjust temperature, set timers, and monitor your sauna from anywhere. The UKU system works with all HUUM electric heater series (DROP, HIVE, CLIFF, STEEL). Wood-burning models don't support remote control.

DROP is wall-mounted with a distinctive water droplet design and Red Dot Award recognition—ideal for space-saving installations. HIVE features a honeycomb-inspired design with maximum stone capacity, available in both electric and wood-burning models. CLIFF offers versatile performance with modern aesthetics for medium-sized saunas. STEEL showcases industrial design with stainless steel construction. All series deliver exceptional heat distribution and steam quality.

HUUM electric heaters typically preheat in 20-40 minutes depending on sauna size, insulation, and heater power (kW rating). Smaller heaters (3.5-6 kW) may take 30-40 minutes, while larger models (12-18 kW) heat faster, often in 20-30 minutes. Wood-burning HUUM stoves take 30-60 minutes to reach optimal temperature. Using the UKU WiFi controller, you can preheat remotely so your sauna is ready when you arrive.

Yes, all HUUM electric and wood-burning heaters are designed for traditional wet/dry sauna use. You can enjoy dry heat without adding water, or pour water over the stones to create steam (löyly) for a traditional Finnish sauna experience. The large stone capacity in HUUM heaters makes them particularly excellent for wet sauna use with generous steam production.

HUUM electric heaters require professional electrical installation by a licensed electrician due to their 240V hardwired connections (except some smaller models that may be 120V). The heaters come with clear installation instructions and mounting hardware. Wood-burning HUUM stoves require proper chimney installation and clearances from combustible materials—professional installation is strongly recommended for safety and warranty compliance.

HUUM sauna heaters come with manufacturer warranties covering heaters, electrical components, and construction. Warranty terms vary by model and component. Electric heaters typically include 2-5 year warranties on heating elements and electronics. Always register your product and follow installation guidelines to ensure warranty coverage. Check specific product details for exact warranty terms.
