4. Amica Insurance offers eight tips for using a space heater:
- Keep a distance of 36 inches between the heater and combustible materials like bedding, furniture, wall coverings and other flammable items.
- Do not leave a heater unattended.
- Electric heaters should be inspected prior to use. Check the cord for fraying and cracking, and look for broken wires or signs of overheating in the device itself.
- Use only heavy-duty extension cords marked with a No. 14 gauge or larger wire.
- If the heater plug has a grounding prong, use only a grounding (three-wire) extension cord.
- Never run the heater cord, or any cord, under rugs or carpeting.
- With liquid fuel-powered devices, use only kerosene or oil heat. Never use gasoline or any other substitute fuel.
- Allow the heater to cool down before refueling.
