Let's be fair: HUUM heaters are aesthetically beautiful, design-forward pieces from Estonia, and many models offer a Wi-Fi feature that lets you start your sauna from your phone. If you've been admiring them, we understand why.
But there's more to the decision than the sticker price, and the sticker price is already higher. A Wi-Fi heater typically needs a separate control unit and extra wiring, which means your electrician's bill climbs too. Procraft takes a different path: a simple, classic wall-mounted heater with mechanical controls, nothing to pair, update, or troubleshoot, and everything you need in one box.
| What matters | Procraft | HUUM |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Designed for Canadian homes and electrical code | Global market (Estonia based) |
| Design style | Classic wall-mount stainless heater with rock tray | Modern open rock towers, design led |
| Controls | Simple mechanical thermostat and built-in 3-hour timer, nothing to pair or update | App/Wi-Fi controls on many models, often a separate control unit |
| Sizes offered | 4.5, 6, 8, 9 kW | Range of sizes across model lines |
| Sauna rocks | 50 lbs included with every heater | Large rock loads typically purchased separately |
| Certification | CSA approved for Canada | Certified (varies by model and market) |
| Coverage | 5-year limited warranty | Varies by model and region |
| Price positioning | Direct-to-you Canadian pricing, from $999.99 CAD | Substantially more, premium European pricing, plus a control unit on many models |
| Installation cost | Standard 240V hookup, a routine job for any electrician | Separate control unit and extra wiring can add substantially to the electrician's bill |

If the heater is the centerpiece of an architectural sauna, the open rock-tower look is the priority, and budget isn't a concern for the heater or the more involved electrical hookup, HUUM's design-led models are hard to beat aesthetically.
Count the full cost, not just the heater. Between the higher purchase price and a bigger electrician's bill for a control unit and extra wiring, a HUUM installation adds up fast. If you want a simple heater that lasts for years without anything to troubleshoot, turn the knob, pour the water, enjoy the heat, at a friendlier all-in price. Compare all four Procraft heaters.
