How can I stay warmer without turning up the thermostat?

Use layered clothing, warm bedding, draft control, and targeted heating where it can be used safely. Small comfort changes can help a room feel warmer without heating the entire home more.

Are space heaters safe to use?

Only use a heater that is appropriate for the room and follow its current safety instructions. Keep it away from fabrics and walkways, plug it directly into a wall outlet, and never leave it unattended.

What should I check before using older heating gadgets?

Inspect cords, plugs, batteries, and manufacturer guidance before use. Replace damaged or recalled products instead of trying to repair them yourself.
