Importance of Space Heater Safety

Zack Klein • December 1, 2021

When a chill is in the air, one of the most effective ways to warm up quickly is by using a space heater. These compact heaters work fast, are ideal for warming smaller rooms, and can save on energy bills when heating is only needed for short periods of time. However, the convenience of a space heater can come with a price. According to the National Fire Protection Association, heating equipment is the leading cause of home fires and space heaters are responsible for the highest percentage of heating-related fire deaths each year. In short, precaution and safety standards are an absolute must when it comes to space heater operation.


Your first step should be to select a recent space heater model that is well-reviewed and designed for the space in which you plan to use it. Selecting a heater that is too small for the space won’t get the job done adequately, and selecting a heater that is too large could be dangerous. Most products will include a sizing table to help you determine if they are the right choice for your space.


When making your selection, you should also consider models that include built-in safety features. Among the most common features are tip-over switches, overheat protection, and automatic shut-off. In addition to these, following the standard safety precautions outlined in the infographic below can help you keep warm safely this winter.

At Guarantee Restoration Services, our people are at the heart of everything we do. This month, we’re excited to introduce Christy Jones Huff , a Business Development Representative at our Jackson, Mississippi Branch who joined the team just over a year ago in January 2024 . From Property Management to Business Development Christy’s journey to GRS started long before she stepped through our doors. A Jackson State University graduate , she earned her degree in Mass Communications/Public Relations with a minor in Marketing . She then spent 19 years as a property manager , gaining invaluable experience in building relationships and problem-solving, which are skills that now serve her well in business development. It is safe to say that she is well-versed in the multifamily vertical that we serve, but she also works with several other industries, such as state entities and housing authorities.  Life Outside of Work Originally from Farmhaven, MS , Christy stays busy outside of work with a full house. She’s married, a proud mom to a college-aged son, and spends most of her free time keeping up with a very active toddler —a job she jokingly refers to as "taming a toddler." When she finds a rare quiet moment, she enjoys crafting, though she explained that those moments are few and far between these days.
