Claims (18)

1. A heating system for a sauna, the heating system being electrically connectable to a mains that provides a first electrical power and comprising:

an oven,

an accumulator that provides a second electrical power, and

wherein the oven is operable with the first and second electrical powers to increase a thermal power.

2. The heating system according to claim 1 , wherein the first electrical power is provided by a single-phase alternating current.

3. The heating system according to claim 2 , wherein the alternating current has a voltage with a nominal value of between 100 V and 260 V.

4. The heating system according to claim 1 , further including a control unit, the control unit being electrically connected to the mains, the accumulator and the oven.

5. The heating system according to claim 4 , wherein the control unit comprises a converter, the accumulator being electrically connected to the converter.
