Heat Your Home Safely This Winter; Safety Matters(R) With Honeywell Portable Heaters
SOUTHBOROUGH, MA, Feb 24 (MARKET WIRE) --
Honeywell portable heaters are a terrific way for households to save
money on heating bills, especially with rising energy costs. Heating the
room you're in is a sensible and cost-effective way to save on heating
bills, but it's important to use them safely.
Portable heaters can be as safe as common appliances when used properly.
Your coffee maker, electric griddle/skillet and toaster all use the same
amount of electricity and can get just as hot as a portable heater.
It's knowing how to use them safely that makes the difference. For
example, you must keep portable heaters at least three feet away from
objects such as curtains, bedding, furniture, etc. For additional safety
tips, consumers can log onto www.honeywellheatsavings.com and go to the
safety tips page. There you will find 11 simple tips that have been
developed in conjunction with the Association of Home Appliance
Manufacturers (AHAM). As with all household appliances, be sure to read
and follow the manufacturer's safety instructions before use.
In addition to these safety tips, consumers should look for portable
heaters that come equipped with special safety features. Because safety is
so important to us, we offer a wide variety of Honeywell portable heaters
equipped with key Safety Matters(R) features. Select portable heaters come
with top safety enhancements such as: high temperature safety device to
prevent overheating; tip-over switch that automatically shuts the heater
off when tipped over; SafeGuard(TM) Alert Badge (that indicates when the
grille is too hot to touch); and Cool-touch exterior and handles. A few
Honeywell heaters also offer an Auto-off Safety Sensor that senses when an
object gets too close and shuts the heater off until the object is removed
-- a great feature for households with children or pets.
