It is common to use heaters in the winter season. With the help of heater the house can be heated quickly and cold can be avoided. But it is important to take some precautions while using the heater. Otherwise it may prove dangerous. Today we are going to tell you about 5 things about which you should be careful...

keep so far away from something

Always keep the heater upright and do not place anything that can catch fire within at least 3 feet of it. Keep curtains, clothes, bedding, paper, wood, etc. away from the heater.

If there is no one then keep it closed

If there is no one in the room then switch off the heater. Or if you are going to sleep and the heater is on, then turn it off. Because your eyes will not fall and something untoward may happen.

Plug directly into outlet

To avoid heater accidents, always plug the heater directly into an outlet. Surge projectors are not made to handle the power required for space heaters. This may increase the voltage and increase the risk of fire.

If it is bad, get it fixed immediately

If you feel any problem with the heater then switch it off immediately. People often ignore such problems. But later this small problem becomes big. Call the technician immediately and get it repaired.

keep away from children

It is very important to keep children and animals in mind while using the heater. Small children and animals are attracted to the heat of the heater and may try to touch it. This may cause serious injury to them.
