Space Heater Safety Tips from New Holland VFD
With the cold weather approaching us next week.
Here are some tips for using a space heater safely:
Placement
Keep space heaters at least three feet away from furniture, drapes, or other flammable items.
Place them on a level surface to prevent tipping.
Usage
Only use space heaters for a limited time and never leave them unattended, especially when you go to bed.
Space heaters can't regulate temperature well for long periods.
Plugging
Plug space heaters directly into a wall outlet, and don't use extension cords. Extension cords can overheat and cause a fire.
Safety features
Look for a space heater with safety features like a tip-over switch, overheat sensor, and touch sensor.
Inspection
Before using a space heater each year, inspect it for damage like loose connections or broken plugs. If it's damaged, replace it instead of trying to repair it.
Children and pets
Keep children and pets away from space heaters and never leave them unattended in a room with a space heater.
Water
Keep electric heaters away from water and never use them near a sink or in the bathroom.
Kerosene heaters
Never use an unvented kerosene heater.
