Space heater FAQs
Is it safe to leave a space heater running unattended?
No — no space heater should run while you are out of the room or asleep. Plug it directly into a wall outlet (never an extension cord or power strip), keep at least three feet of clear space around it, and prefer models with tip-over and overheat protection like every pick on this list.
What size space heater do I need for my room?
Most 1500-watt heaters (about 5,120 BTU) are meant for rooms in the 150–280 sq ft range, depending on the model — check each product's coverage, e.g. the Pelonis 30-inch tower covers up to about 280 sq ft while the Amazon Basics suits around 160 sq ft. For a small desk or bathroom, a compact or plug-in model like the Andily or GiveBest is plenty.
How much does it cost to run a space heater?
A 1500W heater draws 1.5 kilowatts on full power, so at typical US electricity rates that works out to roughly a quarter per hour of full-power use. In practice it costs less: the thermostat or ECO mode cycles the element off once the room reaches temperature, so it rarely runs at full power the whole time.
