Why Space Heaters Can Be Dangerous For Heating Your Ann Arbor Home!

Are you looking for a quick fix to your heating problems?

Buying a space heater isn’t always the answer!

Space heaters can heat up a room quickly. However, they can be dangerous if used improperly. At CMR Mechanical, our first priority is your safety. Our technicians are factory trained and qualified on all brands of heating in Ann Arbor, air conditioners, and indoor air quality. Imagine having a worry-free heating system that can create a comfortable atmosphere for everyone in your home for the right price.   

According to Consumer Reports, space heaters “account for one-third of all home-heating fires each year, and more than 80 percent of home-heating fire deaths.” Also, they suggest that “if you have an older one, consider replacing it” as newer ones have proven to be a lot safer.

If you decide that using a space heater for added warmth is the right solution for you, make sure you follow these safety tips:

1. Clean your space heater before seasonal use to ensure it’s in good working condition.
2. Never leave your space heater unattended.
3. Ensure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working properly.
4. Place your space heater out of high traffic areas and away from flammable materials.
5. Don’t plug your space heater into an overloaded circuit.
