I have a small electrical box and oil heat (which is expensive) which I use to keep the house at 60 degrees. My electrical has tripped/shorted out with both a space heater and radiator heater on at the same time. Is there a better solution without spending a ton of money on oil? Are there any radiator heaters which are more efficient?

I have a 1500w space heater. Does that mean that it uses 1500 watts every hour?

It’s pretty expensive to heat the whole house up at night so I was thinking about getting a electric space heater to keep the warm room when I sleep.
Is this safe?

I hear alot about how you can die breathing carbon monoxide, so I was also wondering if electric space heaters release such a gas.

Caitlin W asked:


I have used three different space heaters in the past few months that, every time I turn them on, cause the circuit to shut off almost immediately. I live in an older house built in the 1940′s, does this have something to do with it? I try to keep as few things running as possible, but even with only my computer, two TVs, my living room and bedroom lights, and the heater on, the power goes out every time. What is the problem, and what can I do to fix it?
I live with three other people, so we try to use as little electricity as possible, but it still doesn’t work.

JET asked:


My dog likes to be in front of the space heater while I am on the computer. I am always there with her but I am worried she might get too close. I just had her groomed with a kennel cut. Should I get her a sweater to keep her warm?

I am a 38 year old female, living by myself, but with lots of friends in the same building. A few weeks ago, I shattered my left leg. I have a cast from my toes to my hip. When I come in after being outside for a while, I lie beside a space heater to warm up. Will this damage my cast? My friend says it will. If so, how?

Marshall J asked:


I heard today in my school that operating a central heating system is more efficient to heat my room with a electric space heater that uses 1kW/hr. Also, they said that these heaters usually contain carcinogens. Can anyone point me to reliable sources on which are true? (Our central heating is zoned also, don’t know if that will help)

Im having a problem with mold growing on my ceiling in one room of my house and I am wondering if I could dry out the room by running a space heater in the room instead of buying a dehumidifier.

alexis.auditore asked:


I have a 7″ tall, electric space heater. Fire safety instructions say not to place a space heater near furniture, bedding, curtains, or on carpet. But what does that leave? If I can’t put my space heater on a wood table, an upholstered chair, the carpet, or on a plastic/electrical appliance like on my TV, I’m not sure where it would be safe to place it.
This is for use in my bedroom.
