The cold weather has hit. Often people often turn to space heaters to help warm up their homes. Although they’re convenient, space heaters also pose a major risk if they aren’t used appropriately.
Space heaters come in all shapes and sizes – some for small rooms, and some for large – that’s why it’s important that you make sure you’re choosing the right one for the area you’re heating.
New technology these days include the auto-safety shut-off. If the heater gets too hot, it’ll shut down and hopefully prevent a problem.
But even the space heater with the best safety rating can be dangerous if not used properly. Some safety tips to remember are
-Never leave them on when you’re leaving home
-Turn them off when you’re asleep
-Keep them away from combustibles
