Space heaters are a great way to warm up a single room of the house if you have guests coming, a new baby, or just need to warm your bedroom at night. They used to carry a stigma of being a fire hazard but most accidents with space heaters occur when they are misused due to not reading the directions carefully. To combat this, simply follow a few guidelines in the use of space heaters such as keeping them 3 feet away from flammable objects such as bedding or curtains and other tips mentioned here.

The article also mentions multiple types of space heaters and other methods of increasing the efficiency of your central heating systems while minimizing risk to your home and family.

The new portable heaters have some very practical features. For instance, the Holmes Tower Unit has ceramic technology and a blower. It's adjustable and it turns to distribute the heat evenly throughout the room. It can even be laid on its side and used as a baseboard heater. Many manufacturers include automatic turn-off if the unit tips over. Some have features that sense excess heat in front of it, so if it's too close to a drape, for example, it will turn itself off before a fire can start.
