In addition to using a built-in heating unit, they might also turn to quicker and cheaper methods to heat up some rooms more than others, such as space heaters. However, while space heaters are an excellent source of heat, they become extremely dangerous when misused. The Harm Space Heaters Cause According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, there are around 25,000 residential fires that result in over 300 deaths each year due to space heaters. An additional 6,000 people are sent to the hospital for burns from their hot surfaces. There are two factors that cause these fires and injuries: the amount of electricity used and the amount of heat produced. Space heaters use an immense amount of electricity. Energy. gov writes that “Space heater capacities generally range between 10,000 BTU and 40,000 BTU per hour.” Keep in mind that 1 BTU is used to heat one pound of water by one degree. How Does This Happen? Fires are often caused when space heaters are placed too close to flammable objects, such as mattresses, blankets, clothing, or furniture. A typical space heater should be set up at least three feet away from any objects. Additionally, young children and pets can easily burn themselves or knock the heater over, which can result in serious injuries or home fires. Space heaters should only be used to heat a single room, never left unattended, and never left running overnight while you sleep. With the proper safety measures in place, space heaters can be a wonderful source of warmth. Just stay vigilant, follow the guidelines above, and be sure to follow the instructions that come with your space heater. If you were recently involved in a tragic accident and a space heater is to blame, you may be qualified to receive compensation.
