Frequently Asked Questions
How much space can an entry-level space heater effectively warm?
Most entry-level space heaters are designed for rooms between 100-200 square feet, roughly equivalent to a small bedroom, office, or bathroom. Check the manufacturer's recommended room size rather than relying solely on wattage.
Are space heaters expensive to operate?
Electric space heaters typically cost between $0.10-$0.20 per hour to run, depending on your local electricity rates and the heater's wattage. Using a space heater to warm one room while lowering your whole-house thermostat can sometimes reduce overall heating costs.
What safety precautions should I take?
Always place heaters on flat, stable surfaces away from foot traffic. Keep them at least three feet from flammable materials like curtains, furniture, or bedding. Never use extension cords with space heaters, and always plug directly into wall outlets.
Can I leave a space heater running when I'm not home?
It's generally not recommended to leave space heaters unattended, even with safety features. If you need heating while away, look for models with reliable automatic shut-off features and timers, but always follow manufacturer guidelines for safe operation.
