Use That Space Heater Safely in Your Connecticut Home

Space heaters provide welcome warmth in chilly rooms, but that warmth comes with a big warning label: Each year space heaters cause more than 25,000 residential fires and send 6,000 people to the ER for treatment of burns, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Help stay safe with these recommendations:

    Give the heater some space
    Use wall plug-ins
    Opt for quality
    Never run a space heater in an unoccupied room
    Size matters
    Keep electric heaters away from dampness
    Safety first

Learn more about safe space heater use from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Savers website.
