Earlier the room was heated by burning some kerosene (kerosene). When a wood or coal fireplace was lit, there was an increase in carbon monoxide gas in the air. The fireplace increases carbon monoxide gas and reduces oxygen, due to which many times there are reports of people sleeping and not being able to wake up. Until electric heaters were common, this was the way homes and rooms were heated.

There is no danger from electric heater
Make-O-Air, an Australian magazine that provides detailed information about refrigeration, air conditioning and electrical, has written that electric heaters generally do not release carbon monoxide gas. But if the electric heater is not cleaned then dust accumulates on its elements. When such a dusty heater is operated, this poisonous gas can be released. Therefore, it is important that you get the heater serviced before using it during the cold season.

Be sure to keep a few things in mind

• Keep the electric heater serviced as per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Electric heater should not be more than 10 years old.
• Do not buy second hand room heater. Even if you buy it, get it serviced before using it.
• Keep a small window of the room open, so that even if such gas is formed, it can come out.
• Do not keep the heater very close to your bed.
