How to Safely Use a Space Heater this Winter
As winter rolls around, you may be thinking about an electric or propane heater to keep warm at home or outdoors. While these little heaters can be a fantastic way to stay comfortable at home or enjoy the outdoors during the cold months, space heaters can also present safety risks if used improperly. Of course you'll want to follow all safety recommendations from the manufacturer regardless of the style of heater you're using. However, heaters that burn gas or fuel require a bit of special attention.
Keep the Heat On and Stay Safe
Safety should be your first concern when it comes to portable heaters. It's estimated that 25,000 residential fires and about 3,000 deaths are the result of improper space heater usage, according to the USCPSC. Thousands more are treated for burns and other injuries caused by space heaters. Simply by learning the essential safety requirements for your heater, you can keep both you and your family safe.
Electric heaters (like ceramic heaters and oil heaters) and fuel-burning heaters (like kerosene or propane heaters) must only be operated in an appropriate and safe environment. While there are a handful of exceptions, this usually means operating electric heaters indoors and fuel-burning heaters outdoors (or in a well-ventilated space, such as a deck or patio).
Of course, any heater you use should be properly positioned within it's environment. Give adequate clearance to the heater so that it is position safely away from any flammable materials or objects. Be especially careful with curtains and drapes, as gusts could blow them toward or into a heater, causing a fire.
It's best to try and anticipate any possible objects that could be accidentally knocked into the heater. Preventing fires and burns is often simply anticipating these sorts of concerns -- could a lamp accidentally be knocked into the heater? Could a pet accidentally brush against the heating elements?
As discussed on HeaterHut, always be sure that your heater features an tip sensor, and that it is in good, working condition. These safety switches detect if the unit has been knocked over, and will immediately shut the heater elements down. Most modern heaters feature this life-saving sensor, so it may be best to replace older units that lack them.
Let's Clear the Air About Heaters
You need to be aware of additional concerns when using propane space heaters, as they produce heat by burning fuel. Sure, propane gas by itself is more or less harmless. However, once it's burned, carbon monoxide is released into the surrounding area. Carbon monoxide has no distinguishable odor, and can easily produce respiratory hazards if too much of it is inhaled. For this reason, you should always use a propane heater in a highly ventilated area or outdoors.
In addition, you should always keep a carbon monoxide detector handy when operating a propane heater. These relatively inexpensive alarms will alert you to unsafe concentrations of the gas. You may have also heard of 'ventless' gas heaters, but don't place too much confidence in their claims. While these heaters typically create less exhaust, even small traces of carbon monoxide can cause damage over time.
Safe operation and the proper safety equipment is the key to enjoying a space heater this winter, no matter what style of heater you're using. A bit of caution upfront can save a trip to the ER later.

Is there such a thing as a small space heater that is safe to leave on even when you are not home?
The pipes that distribute the heat throughout the rest of the house do not work in my room and it's too cold during the winter (and my parents wont fix it). Does anyone know of a heater that is safe enough to leave on low when I am not home?
Thanks!
All are safe provided the owner uses it in a safe manner.
