Heater Safety Tips

It would be best if you took a few precautionary measures during the winter season to keep your home warm.

·      Check the supply of electricity and gas

·      Be careful around heating appliances if you have children

·      Don't leave your heater running unattended

·      Place your heater near a fire alarm 

·      Here are some home heating safety tips to consider.


Schedule a Heating Appliance Safety Pre-check 

Is this your first time using your heater in months? It is common for us to switch it on without thinking twice, which is dangerous. To use your heating equipment again, you should check a few things. Ensure that there are no leaks from the gas heater. Make sure all the electrical connections on your electric heater are safe. 

It is also common for the dust to settle on the heating component while it is not used. Turning it on also ignites the settled dust, emitting an unpleasant odor. Ensure that your heater is dust-free before using it to prevent such a problem. Getting your heating appliances checked by professionals might be your best option.

Prevent Children from Accessing heating Appliances

Are there any children at home? Do you want to make their winter stay as comfortable and warm as possible? When the heating appliances run, it is best to keep the little ones away from them. Children usually enjoy exploring and playing with new things, especially young ones. You shouldn't let your children play with a heater if they are young. Most households place their heaters in a living room or bedroom, easily accessible by children. In such cases, never leave your kids unmonitored, particularly when the home heating system is turned on.


Check the Electric/Gas Supply 

Check whether your home's heaters are getting the correct electric/gas supply before using them. Check your device's meter to find out. Notify your utility supplier in advance if you spot any issues.

A Fire Alarm Should be positioned near your heater 

It is possible to prevent fire incidents anywhere if you take the necessary precautions. Fire alarms are a great addition to any home. Fire alarms and home heating equipment should be placed in the same room. Detecting fire or smoke in the air triggers the fire alarm to go off and warn people.
