When winter comes at your nose, it's time to turn up the heat. For many people, this just means raising the temperature of the central heating system's thermostat. In many cases, though, you only need heat in a small area for a brief time, and it makes more sense to use a space heater than to heat the whole house.
The best way to use a space heater to save money is to only heat one room, but leave the rest of your home cooler. That said, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reminds us that space heaters account for 1/3 of all home fires and 4 out of 5 home heating fire deaths, so paying close attention to Safety is a must.
Whatever your reasons for using a space heater, attach are tips to help you choose, use, and maintain yours! so you can stay safely toasty warm, even when the weather outside is frightful.
