Tip #10 – Heat a Smaller Space

Why heat the rest of the house when you’re using only one area? Small space heaters can be less expensive to use if you only want to heat one room or supplement inadequate heating in one room. They can also boost the temperature of rooms used by individuals who are sensitive to cold. Although running the portable heater certainly has a cost, it may be less than keeping the entire house warm and cozy. But remember, for optimum safety the Department of Energy recommends the following: only purchase newer models that have the current required safety features; locate the unit on a level surface away from foot traffic, and be especially careful to keep children and pets away from the heater.
