Types of Space Heaters

• Electric: These heaters use electricity to generate heat. They are typically the most affordable and easiest to use.
• Gas: Gas heaters use propane or natural gas to produce heat. They are more powerful than electric heaters but require professional installation.

Choosing the Right Space Heater

• Size: The size of the room you want to heat will determine the wattage you need.
• Wattage: Wattage measures the amount of heat the heater can produce. Higher wattage means more heat.
• Features: Some heaters offer additional features like thermostats, remote controls, and safety sensors.

• The Room That Vanished: A family used their space heater so much that it overheated and set off the smoke alarm. When the fire department arrived, they couldn't find the source of the smoke. It turned out the heat had made the room so hot that it had caused the wallpaper to peel and the drywall to crumble.
• The Space Heater Symphony: One music-loving family discovered that their space heater made a peculiar humming noise when it was turned on. They soon realized that the noise perfectly matched the melody of their favorite holiday tune, creating an impromptu holiday concert in their living room.
