Space Heater Safety Facts and Tips

During the winter months in Salisbury, it’s nice to have a space heater to take the chill off of a cold room, but did you know that space heaters are responsible for 43 percent of home heating fires in the United States? According to a report published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), space heaters were also responsible for 85 percent of associated deaths. SERVPRO® of North Rowan County/Salisbury wants everyone to be safe this winter and we offer some space heater safety tips from the NFPA to prevent winter fires from starting in your home:

• Have a three-foot “kid-free zone” around open fires and space heaters.
• Always use the right kind of fuel, specified by the manufacturer, for fuel burning space heaters.
• Have a qualified professional install stationary space heating equipment, water heaters or central heating equipment according to the local codes and manufacturer’s instructions.
• Turn off the space heater when you leave the room or go to bed.
