Get the Right Space Heater for Your Home

When there's a chill in the air, nothing feels quite as good as being warm and cozy indoors with room heaters. The trouble is that in some homes, heat is distributed unevenly. In older, draftier homes, getting certain rooms to the right temperature can be a challenge. If you're the type of person who likes the bedroom extra toasty or if your family room needs an extra dose of warmth, nothing works quite as well as a room heater.



Room Heaters: How Much Space Do You Need to Heat?

Do you have a tiny guest room that needs an extra bit of heat? Or do you have an open-concept first floor that never quite gets to the temperature you like? The first thing you'll want to do is measure your space. When choosing among portable heaters, the square footage you want it to warm is the main question you'll need to know the answer to, so don't skip the step of measuring the space you want heated.



Electric space heater capacity is often measured in BTUs, (which stands for British Thermal Unit). Portable heaters that can warm up a smaller room usually run around 1,500 BTUs. Space heaters that can heat up bigger spaces can be measured as high as 10,000 BTUs, and even more. Be sure to look at the rating of the electric space heaters you're considering so you can be sure to get the right portable heaters for your home.

Safety First When It Comes to Room Heaters

Electric space heaters can be a welcome addition on a chilly night, but it's important to be safe when placing room heaters in your home. First, do your due diligence when shopping for portable heaters. Does the model you're considering sit solidly on the ground, or is it top-heavy and easily tipped? Check space heaters' specifications to make sure they've got auto-shut-off mechanisms in case of tipping. When you get your electric space heater home, be sure to place it in a well-ventilated area, away from drapes and other obstructions, and always follow all the instructions on the box and safety warnings.
