Yes, most outdoor saunas do require electricity; however, the amount and purpose may vary depending on the type of sauna installed.
Electrically Powered Saunas
Most outdoor saunas are powered by electric heaters, which are highly efficient and able to provide full temperature and humidity control. Electric saunas do require a dedicated electrical line directly into your home or property. They usually have a control panel with which you can easily set your desired temperature. These types of sauna models get hot very fast and are very easy to work with, so most of the people who use a sauna regularly choose to use electric heaters.
They are more consistant, requiring less maintenance, hence giving both reliable and even heat throughout your sauna session. Some electric saunas also come with added features like lighting and sound systems or chromotherapy, all requiring electricity to power them.
Other Sauna Options
While most outdoor saunas are electric, there are a few other options available. These include larger, more traditional wood-fired saunas that really allow for an authentic experience when using the sauna. Because they don't require electricity to generate any heat, they can also be set up in far more remote locations than an electric version might allow for, where running an electrical line might be difficult or expensive.
