Security Concerns And Appropriate Use Of Easily Transportable Heating Elements

It seemed like I just finished setting up all the baby proofing items when my wife reminded me that the cold winter months are getting closer and a portable heater can be perfect to keep her and the infant warm and comfy.

I remembered using a portable heater when I was a child. After walking home from school, up-hill, in snow, I used to put my feet in front of our transportable heater and thaw them out. It always felt similar to anybody was sticking pins in the bottom of my feet as they heated in front of our transportable heater.

Looking back on that condition and a lot of un-safe things I did when I was a child, it is a miracle I'm still alive today.

While I am more conscious of safety now, I made a decision to research the security issues while using a portable heater.

-portable heaters need to be UL certified.

-Heaters should have an automatic thermostat that turns the device off upon reaching the specified temperature.

-Heaters must have a built-in switch to turn the device off in the event of a tip-over.

-Heaters need to be kept minimum 3 feet far from things that are combustible like document, garbage cans, wood things (desks, night stands, bed frames), and so on.

-Heaters should not be placed in little covered areas like under a desk.

-Heaters should never be left unattended.

-Keep kids and toddlers away from the heater.

-A transportable heater should never be used in a wet place like bathrooms or laundry rooms.

-Plug the heater directly into a power outlet without using extension cords.

-Do not place the heater in a path of travel such as pathways, hallways, doorways, or stair landings.

Following the above suggestions while using a portable heater should keep you warm & secure during the cold months.
