🔥 PORTABLE HEATER SAFETY TIPS 🔥
Keep your home and office warm and safe this winter!
🔥1. Keep heaters at least 3 feet away from anything that can burn
This includes bedding, curtains, furniture, paper, and holiday decorations.
🔌2. Plug heaters directly into a wall outlet
Avoid using extension cords or power strips—they can overheat and cause fires.
🔥3. Choose heaters with safety features
Look for models with automatic shut-off if tipped over, overheat protection, and proper certification labels.
4. Never leave a heater unattended
Turn it off when you leave the room or go to sleep.
✨ 5. Place heaters on flat, stable surfaces
Avoid putting heaters on tables, furniture, or uneven ground where they can fall.
✨ 6. Inspect cords and plugs
Do not use a heater with frayed wires, scorch marks, or loose connections.
✨ 7. Keep heaters away from water
Never use portable heaters in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or other wet areas.
✨ 8. Use the correct size heater
Make sure the heater is appropriate for the room size to avoid overheating.
✨ 9. Don’t block exits or walkways
Ensure the heater isn’t a tripping hazard or obstructing escape routes.
✨ 10. Follow manufacturer instructions
Use only as directed and never modify the heater or its cords.
