Where should the heater be placed in the house?

When the weather gets cold, the need for heaters increases. However, according to the architect, not everyone knows where to place the heater and how to use it properly. The location of the heater has a big impact on the heating efficiency. Placing the heater in the right place also helps you save a lot of electricity costs and ensures health safety.

Here are a few notes when using the heater:

Location

The best place to place a space heater is under a window. A space heater placed under a window will help warm the cold air coming in from the window and warm up the coldest part of the floor.

If the location near the window is not suitable, consider placing the heater in the corner of the room, not in places that absorb heat to take advantage of heat energy and save electricity.

Also, close the doors before turning on the heater. To ensure fire safety, do not place the heater near the bed. Also, place the heater about 1.5-2m away from your body because if you are too close to the heater, you will feel a burning sensation on your skin.

Next, do not let the heater be covered by other items. This will help the heater distribute heat at its best and save electricity.

Nowadays, to save space, many manufacturers have launched wall-mounted heaters. With this device, you need to install it at least 10cm from the floor and the distance between the wall heater and other devices is 10cm.

You need to place the heater away from flammable objects such as blankets, sheets, pillows, clothes, books... Place the heater on a stable, flat surface, avoiding unstable areas.

How to use the heater

If the room is large, using several small heaters will be more effective than using one large heater. If you choose several small heaters, the heat will be spread to every corner of the room.

On days when the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius, many people often turn up the heater to warm up quickly. However, this is not correct. The large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors will have a negative impact on health. In addition, setting the heater too high will dry out the skin and cause discomfort.

The advice for you when using a heater is to add a mist sprayer to humidify the room. You should not turn on the heater continuously for many hours because it can easily cause fire and electrical short circuit. According to the manufacturer, the heater should only be used 4-6 hours a day. When the room temperature is warm enough, you should turn off the heater.

In addition, you should choose to buy a heater that has the function of automatically turning off the power when it is knocked over or dropped, to avoid electrical short circuits.

Because the heater is a device that is only used for a short period of time during the year, many people ignore the cleaning part of the machine. It is recommended that you clean the heater thoroughly before using it because otherwise the machine may short circuit due to too much dirt.

Before use, users need to carefully check the details on the machine, make sure the machine is still in good condition and free of dust.
