Is it harmful to sleep with your electric radiator on?

Is it harmful to sleep with your electric radiator on?

We understand that staying warm during the night is important, but safety is our top concern when it comes to your electric radiator. Here’s what you need to know:

 

If your electric radiator is securely fixed to a wall and has no obstructions like curtains or hanging clothes nearby, you can confidently leave it on overnight. It won’t cause any harm and can provide a cosy night’s sleep.

 

However, if your electric radiator is freestanding or portable, we strongly advise against leaving it on overnight. These types of electric radiators can be easily knocked over, posing safety risks. Your safety is important, so we recommend switching off portable electric radiators before bedtime.

Is it safe to dry clothes on your electric radiator?

Is it safe to dry clothes on your electric radiator?

We completely understand the convenience of using your electric radiator to dry clothes, but your safety is our utmost priority. Here’s why we recommend against it:

 

Drying clothes directly on your electric radiator can block the airflow, potentially causing it to overheat. This not only affects the radiator’s efficiency but can also create a fire hazard, which is something we want to avoid at all costs.

 

To keep you safe and ensure your electric radiator works at its best, we recommend using a dedicated clothes drying rack or a clothesline. These options are not only safer but also help maintain your electric radiator’s top-notch performance.
