Use Heaters Safely
Portable electric heaters draw a high amount of power and have the capability to ignite combustible materials that are too close to them. If you plan to use portable heaters in your home, keep them in the center of the room, avoid placing items on top of them, and keep them away from curtains, clothing papers, and other materials that can easily combust. Check the heater each time you use it to make sure that it is safe to use and that everything is away from it so that you can avoid potential fire hazards.
If you’re experiencing issues with the wiring in your home, or if you’d like to have it updated, contact a local electrician. These skilled professionals can evaluate your wiring and fixtures, making sure that your entire electrical system is safe and functional. A home electrical system that’s working incorrectly can be a major fire hazard, so it’s important to have your system checked out if you have any concerns
