As cold temperatures continue, many of us turn to space heaters to stay warm.
Stay safe with these essential tips:
• Keep heaters at least 3 feet away from anything flammable
(furniture, curtains, bedding, etc.).
• Always plug directly into the wall— no extension cords or power strips.
• Never leave a space heater on while you’re sleeping or out of the room.
• Place on a flat, hard surface to prevent tipping. Avoid carpets and high-traffic areas.
• Ensure you are using the proper fuel for the type of heater you are using.
• Use heaters with automatic shut-off in case of tipping or overheating.
• Unplug the heater when not in use.
