Thanks for the tips, Rhino.

I 'd like to add some precautions for people who may use space heaters.

From Harvard University Environmental Health & Safety

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

If you must use a space heater: The following steps and safety precautions must be observed:

The space heater selected must be tested by an independent testing laboratory such as Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL).

The preferred style of space heaters are fully enclosed by design and have no external surfaces that reach temperatures capable of igniting, such as an oil filled radiant heater.

Keep the space heater accessible – do not storage anything within three feet of the unit. The leading cause of space heater fires was combustibles too close to the heater.

The unit must have thermostatic controls and automatic shutoff features.

The space heater must be plugged directly into an outlet. Do not use a light-duty extension cord or a multi outlet strip/surge protector; it can start a fire with a high-wattage appliance. The unit must be grounded with a three-pronged plug.

Do not use an extension cord or strip plug.

Run the power cord so that no one steps on or trips over it.

Turn off the heater when you leave the room - unplug the heater when you leave for the day.
