Safety Checklist On Using Room Heaters

Like any other hot electrical appliance, room heaters should be used with care, particularly around children. Here are seven ways to warm your home safely:

1. Don't use an extension cord. Most extension cords aren't designed to handle this much current.

2. Never dry clothes over a room heater. Though electric heaters are supposed to shut off before they overheat, some take longer than others, so clothes can be scorched or even catch fire before the heat cuts off.

3. Make sure your model has tip-over protection. The safest heaters turn themselves off if they're knocked over -- this feature should be listed on the box.

4. Kid-proof it. With kids around, you'll want a heater that won't burn their skin if they touch either the grill or the casing. Look for a model with a child-safety button to prevent your kids from turning the heat on or up. Consider these features also to protect pets in the house. Because some heaters do reach high temperatures, teach kids to stay at least three feet away from them, no matter what.

5. Place it safe. Never set your heater in a high-traffic area. And, of course, don't leave the house with a heater running.

6. Choose only heaters tested at an independent lab such as UL or ETL.

7. Install a smoke detector on every floor of your home.
