Abstract A sauna heating unit has a pair of upstanding spaced casings together forming an inner and an outer air space. Electric heating elements are arranged in the inner air space and are controlled by an on-off switch and temperature control regulator located in a ventilated connection box positioned below the inner air space and shielded therefrom by a roof-shaped housing member. A control panel having a triangular box-shaped member with an upwardly facing top face protrudes outwardly from the upper part of the outer casing. An on-off and a temperature control knob are mounted on the upper surface of the face and are connected to the switch and regulator, respectively, by shafts extending obliquely downwardly through the control panel, outer air space and roof-shaped housing into the connection box, thereby making operation of the switch and adjustment of the temperature regulator convenient and easy.
