Space heaters are a convenient way to stay warm, but they’re also one of the top causes of home fires in winter. Follow these safety tips to protect your home:
1. **Use the right outlet.** Plug space heaters directly into a wall outlet, never into an extension cord or power strip.
2. **Keep space clear.** Maintain at least 3 feet of space between the heater and any furniture, curtains, or bedding.
3. **Never leave it unattended.** Always turn off the heater when leaving the room or going to sleep.
4. **Inspect cords.** Replace any heater with a damaged cord or plug.
5. **Avoid running multiple heaters on one circuit.** This can easily overload your electrical system.
If your breakers trip often when using heaters, it’s time to have your wiring checked by a professional.
