Can the electric heater be turned on all the time?

In the cold winter, many people like to use electric heaters to keep warm. This is also a convenient way to keep warm. It is easy to use and can heat up when the power is turned on and off when the power is turned on. Although electric heaters are easy to use, you must understand some precautions during use. Electric heaters cannot be turned on all the time. Generally speaking, electric heaters now have automatic protection functions.

Can the electric heater be left on all the time?

1. Some brands and models of electric heaters have automatic temperature limiting devices, which will automatically shut down when the temperature exceeds the safety value. 2. Some brands and models of electric heaters have anti-tipping devices. If the electric heater accidentally tips over or lies flat, it cannot be turned on. 3. For safety reasons, the electric heater must be turned off in time when no one is at home.

Five things to note when using electric heaters

1. Electric heaters must use three-hole sockets

Electric heaters have high power, so you must use a qualified three-hole socket with a ground wire, otherwise there will be a risk of electric leakage. It should not be used at the same time with high-power electrical appliances, electric welders, impact drills, etc., otherwise the electric heater may be easily damaged. The socket should not be located directly above the electric heater to prevent the heat from rising and scalding the power supply.

2. It should be placed in a place that is not easily touched

The electric heater should be kept away from flammable materials and the back should be about 20 cm away from the wall. If you place an electric heater in the bathroom for heating, you must be especially careful. Some electric heaters are indeed waterproof, but if the power socket is in the bathroom, there is still a safety hazard. It is best to install the power socket outside the bathroom, and the electric heater's wires must be protected by insulating rubber and the connection with the body must be 100% waterproof.

3. Do not cover the electric heater with items

The surface temperature of the electric heater is relatively high. Once it is covered with objects, the heat cannot be dissipated in time, causing the heater to burn out. If you need to dry clothes, place them a short distance away from the heater.

4. Buy electric heaters without open flames and with overheat protection devices

When purchasing an electric heater, it is best to choose one without open flames and with an overheating device, because in a tightly sealed room in winter, open flames will not only consume indoor oxygen and pollute the environment, but may also cause burns, fire and other accidents if you are not careful.

5. Don’t get close to electric heaters

Some people like to put their hands and feet on the heat sink, which can easily cause burns; some people who are afraid of cold blow the electric heater directly at their bodies, which may warm them temporarily but may burn their skin if done for a long time. Therefore, do not get too close to the electric heater, especially do not let the air outlet of the electric heater directly heat a part of the body. In addition, when using electric heaters, you should find ways to increase the indoor humidity, such as growing some hydroponics in the house, placing a few pots of water, mopping the floor frequently, using a humidifier, etc.
