Ways to Heat Your Home Safely (from the CDC 24/7: Saving Lives, Protecting People™)
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions if you plan to use a wood stove, fireplace, or space heater and remember these important safety tips:
- Use fireplaces, wood stoves, or other combustion heaters only if they are properly vented to the outside and do not leak flue gas into the indoor air space
- Have your heating system serviced by a qualified technician every year
- Do not burn paper in a fireplace
- Ensure adequate ventilation if you must use a kerosene heater
- Use only the type of fuel your heater is designed to use – don’t substitute
- Do not place a space heater within 3 feet of anything that may catch on fire, such as drapes, furniture, or bedding
- Never cover your space heater
- Never place a space heater on top of furniture or near water
- Never leave children unattended near a space heater
- Make sure that the cord of an electric space heater is not a tripping hazard and do not run the cord under carpets or rugs
- Avoid using extension cords to plug in your space heater
- If your space heater has a damaged electrical cord or produces sparks, do not use it
- Store a multipurpose, dry-chemical fire extinguisher near the area to be heated
- Protect yourself from carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning by installing a battery-operated CO detector and never using generators, grills, camp stoves, or similar devices inside the house, in basements, in garages, or near windows
