Many people rely on alternate forms of heating, such as electric heaters, to cut down on their energy expenses and keep warm during a cold winter's night. However, space heaters are generally regarded as unsafe for use while sleeping, so follow this advice carefully to stay comfortable and still wake up in the morning.
Fan heaters: Fan heaters use an electric coil to create heat, and then blow the warmth across the room. They are cheap and light, but noisy. They heat (small) rooms quickly but warmth can be quickly lost if you let in a draught.
Space heaters are cheaper to buy, usually costing from $25 to $100. They're only cheaper to use, however, if you're using them to heat a small area or to supplement heat in one room. Space heaters are not as efficient as baseboard heaters and should never be used as a main heat source.

Convection Ceramic Heaters: The Pros vs Cons
Instant Heat: Thanks to the fan speeding things along, a ceramic heater delivers instant hot air flow, which can warm up your room quickly. Noise: Any electric space heater that uses a fan will be louder than a radiator, but some models are quiet than others.If I'm keeping it on for more than 3 hours at the highest setting, I often check the cord to see if it's warm. If you are owning a space heater for the first time and worried about heating issue, plug it in for an hour directly to the wall socket and keep an eye.
The electric space heaters tested at Consumer Reports use 1,500 watts to fully power. Since you should never use a space heater while sleeping, it would cost $2.82 a day to use a space heater 16 hours a day, based on the national average electricity rate.
It Can Cause Fires
Even if you take precautions to make sure your space heater won't fall or accidentally overheat an object in your room, there is still a great risk for fire. This is because the device could overheat and cause a fire in the wiring, or cause your circuit to overheat and cause the same issue.In fact, each year space heaters are responsible for about 55,000 fires, 450 deaths and more than 1,500 injuries. However, there are a number of other ways that space heaters can lead to accidents and injuries: Like any electrical device, they pose a shock hazard. Space heaters use a lot of electricity.
The leading cause of space heater fires is heating equipment placed too close to things that can burn, such as upholstered furniture, clothing, mattresses, curtains, bedding, paper, or flammable liquids.
Electrical space heaters pose no danger of carbon monoxide poisoning, unlike those that burn fuels, such as kerosene. Do not start or leave cars, trucks, or other vehicles running in an enclosed area, such as a garage, even with the outside door open.
All space heaters should have an emergency shutoff in the event they accidentally turn over. Turn your space heater on, turn it over on its side and make sure it automatically turns off.
No. Only heaters that burn a combustible fuel to create heat can cause carbon monoxide build-up in your home. Either way, nothing is being burned up to create heat with an electric space heater, so carbon monoxide poisoning is not an issue.
Never leave a space heater unattended. Turn it off when you're leaving a room or going to sleep, and don't let pets or children play too close to a space heater. Plug space heaters directly into a wall outlet. Do not use an extension cord or power strip, which could overheat and result in a fire.
