Using a space heater safely

Most 1500-watt heaters draw close to the full capacity of a standard household circuit, so plug them straight into a wall outlet rather than a power bar or extension cord, keep them well away from bedding and curtains, and never leave one running in an empty room. Check your heater’s manual for the maker’s own rules.

How we chose: we looked for heaters that Amazon.ca ships and sells itself, with strong rating counts, listed safety features and a spread of prices and room sizes. We read the listings, not the products, and we have not tested any of them.
