Safety first when using electric heaters.
As the cold weather approaches, it's essential to prioritize safety when using electric heaters. Remember:
1. Never plug an electric heater into an extension cord or power strip. Always use a direct wall outlet.
2. Occasionally check the plug—if it feels hot, unplug it immediately and try a different outlet. A hot plug can indicate a loose neutral wire, which is a fire hazard.
3. Avoid using the heater on the 1500-watt setting for your safety.
4. Make a commitment to replace the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors annually.
