Propane Heater Safety Tips

There are many places that you may need the warmth of a propane space heater. They are perfect for camping in the winter in an area that may not allow you to build a fire. Working in your garage or shed through the winter months can be a daunting task without a space heater keeping your feet warm. Wherever you are using a propane space heater, it is important to remember these safety tips.
  • If you are going to use a propane heater indoors, make sure that it is manufactured for indoor use. These consume less propane than outdoor space heaters and therefore produce less carbon monoxide.
  • If you are using a propane space heater in any enclosed area, even with a door or window open, make sure to have a fully functional carbon monoxide detector. These detectors are designed to alert you to the presence before you start feeling any adverse affects.
  • Remember to keep all objects three feet from the heat to prevent any nearby objects from igniting. This is especially true for any curtain, chairs and fabrics.
  • Always make sure that the propane heater is on a flat level surface so that there is no danger of it being knocked over.
  • When buying fuel for your heater, check the heater's operating manual for the specific fuel type and cylinder size. Never use a fuel that your heater wasn't designed to use.

  2. I just realized that my propane tank has always been on angle. I didn't know that this could be potentially hazardous! I am going to go move it to a flat surface right now.

  3. Wow, most people don't follow any of these safety precautions! It's so important to be conscious when you turn on your propane tank. I'm going to keep these tips in mind when we have our propane delivered to our restaurant too!
