Portable electric space heaters are a convenient source of supplemental heat for your home in cold weather. Unfortunately, they also pose significant fire and electric shock hazards if not used properly.

Safety should be a priority when using space heaters. Below are a few tips for keeping your home safe:

  • Before using a space heater, read the manufacturer’s instructions and warning labels carefully.
  • Inspect heaters for cracked or broken plugs and loose connections before each use.  If frayed, worn or damaged, do not use the heater.
  • Plug space heaters directly into a wall outlet. Do not use an extension cord or power strip, which could overheat and result in a fire. Do not plug any other electrical devices into the same outlet as the heater.
  • Never leave a space heater unattended. Turn it off when you're leaving a room or going to sleep, and don't let pets or children play near a space heater.
  • Place space heaters on level, flat surfaces. Never place heaters on cabinets, tables, furniture, or carpet, which can overheat and start a fire.
  • Space heaters are only meant to provide supplemental heat and should never be used to warm bedding, cook food, dry clothing or thaw pipes.
  • Install smoke alarms on every floor and outside all sleeping areas and test monthly.
  • Proper placement is critical. Heaters must be kept at least three feet away from anything that can burn, including papers, clothing, and rugs.
  • Locate space heaters out of high traffic areas and doorways where they may pose a tripping hazard.
  • Always unplug and safely store the heater when it is not in use.
