Most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/guide-to-home-heating-fires\/\">home heating fires<\/a> were the result of placing the heater too close to upholstered furniture, bedding, or curtains. Apart from injuries and loss of lives, these house fires resulted in property damage worth $1.1 billion. Pets and young children are particularly at high risk for accidental burns.\u00a0 <\/li>\n<li><strong>Shocks and sparking<\/strong>: Apart from fire hazards, indoor space heaters can also cause shocks and sparking. If electrical extension cords are used instead of the space heater being directly connected to the wall&#8217;s electrical receptacle, the risk of sparks and shocks is higher. The same goes for the use of surge protectors or plug timers. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Hidden costs<\/strong>: According to one estimate, a 2,000-Watt room heater can add $159 to the electric bill per month. If you need to use more than one space heater, the costs add up significantly. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Trips and falls<\/strong>:\u00a0 Most space heaters have enough cord slack to allow you to plug them in an electrical outlet on a wall. If you use an additional extension cord or if the cord is too long, there are risks of tripping over the cord, resulting in falls and injuries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Circuit overload<\/strong>: Indoor space heaters utilize a lot of electricity and, as a result, tend to overload your circuits, leading to power failure. Plugging in too many appliances to the electrical outlet or extension cord can also cause circuit overload.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carbon monoxide poisoning<\/strong>: Unvented space heaters can emit carbon monoxide while bringing toxic nitrogen oxide into your home. These gases can cause respiratory problems such as asthma, while the water vapor can lead to mold and other types of structural damage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Limited range<\/strong>: Small indoor heaters are designed to warm up limited spaces, and heating a larger area will require several such heaters. This not only adds to your energy bills, but may not offer the level of comfort you are seeking in winters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dryness<\/strong>:\u00a0 Space heaters result in dry air that can lead to skin dryness apart from irritating your sinuses and eyes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trust_the_Heating_and_Cooling_Experts_in_St_Louis\"><\/span>Trust the Heating and Cooling Experts in St. Louis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/indoor-space-heaters-affect-your-health-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Problems with Indoor Space Heaters\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-10271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/indoor-space-heaters-affect-your-health-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/indoor-space-heaters-affect-your-health-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In some cases, using a space heater can act as a backup plan in case the central system fails or a supplementary option for heating up small rooms.
