Infrared heaters are the second most expensive component of an infrared sauna.  Low quality heaters have been proven to cause FIRE.  Infrared heaters are responsible for producing near, mid and far infrared wavelengths.  Low quality heaters generally don't get past mid, therefore not giving you true far infrared that is so beneficial to the human body.  For more information click here.

Electronics and wiring make up the remaining cost.  Electronics are the most passed over component in an infrared sauna.  Low quality electronics and faulty wiring in infrared saunas are extremely dangerous and have been the root cause of many catching fire.  When a sauna manufacturer decides to cut costs to be competitive, they start with electronics and wiring.  Their logic is, the consumer will never know because it's not a cosmetic change.  Unfortunately this decision has landed many companies in litigation and bankruptcy.  For more information please click here.
