Stay Safe When You're Using Space Heaters This Winter l SERVPRO® of Piscataway

House fires are more common during the winter—and the space heaters many Americans rely on to heat their homes on frigid nights are among the most common causes of those fires.

Experts estimate that up to 25,000 house fires every year are caused by space heaters. In those fires, an estimated 300 people lose their lives. So taking steps to keep your home safe while using space heaters can protect both your home and your family.

Never place a space heater within three feet of fabric (like curtains) or upholstery in your home. Also, be sure you’re using a space heater with the latest safety features. Automatic shutoffs are especially important. If your space heater falls over, it can stop them from being a fire hazard.

Careful homeowners can do everything right and still need help in the aftermath of the house fire. If you ever need our help, we have a team of experts who are ready to restore your home.
