Keeping safe while using heaters

There is no doubt that heaters are a blessing to people in cold months. These wonderful units provide a comfortable room temperature so people can come home to warm rooms on biting cold winter days.

In order to enjoy the complete comfort that heaters can provide there are certain safety measures that must be taken to ensure no unfortunate incidents occur while using the unit:

• The first and most important thing to ensure is that the unit’s plug fits into a socket properly. This is because a loose plug can spark or overheat and will cause problems. Change the outlet or worn out plug if need be.

• You should not place anything on top of the unit’s chords because overheating can lead to a fire.

• It is also important to keep the heater away from solvents, paints or any other inflammable substances.

• The best place to keep a heater is on the floor because it will be most stable there. Placing it on furniture could result in the heater falling and causing unnecessary problems that could probably be fatal.

• Ensure that the heater is in good working condition by replacing missing guards or chords.

These steps can ensure that your home is comfortable and safe during the long winter months.
