Supplement Your Furnace With a Space Heater

Here are some helpful tips for making the most out of your space heater to supplement your furnace:

Use wall sockets. Space heaters, even though they’ve gotten much safer over the years, are still a potential fire hazard both because of electricity and the heat that they generate. Plug them directly into the wall instead of an extension cord or long surge protector. Even if this means rearranging your office or bedroom so you sit closer to an outlet, it’s the best choice.

Place it low. You might not want to put it directly on the carpet if you have shaggier varieties or a rug, but space heaters work better when they’re closer to the ground. Not only is this because keeping your feet and legs warm makes you feel more comfortable altogether, but because hot air rises. If you put the space heater on your desk or table, that heat will never reach your feet.
