Fire departments are encouraging safe practice with space heaters as we still have some colder nights ahead of us. It’s recommended to keep the unit out of the way of travel corridors like hallways and exit areas, along with placing it on a solid, non-carpeted surface. If carpet is the only flooring inside your home, find something to put over the carpet that doesn’t transduce heat back into the heater. The unit should also be in an area that is not easily accessible to children and pets.
