Side effects of room heaters

Room heaters reduce humidity levels, leading to dry air that can cause skin dryness, irritation, and cracked lips.

Dry Air

Prolonged use of heaters can dehydrate the body, leaving you feeling thirsty or fatigued.

Dehydration

Dry air from heaters can irritate nasal passages and throat, potentially worsening respiratory conditions like asthma or allergies.

Respiratory Issues

The reduced moisture in the air can dry out your eyes, causing redness, itching, or discomfort.

Eye Irritation

Poorly ventilated heaters, especially gas heaters, can emit carbon monoxide, leading to poisoning in extreme cases.

Carbon Monoxide Risks

Heaters can circulate dust particles and allergens, exacerbating allergic reactions or asthma symptoms.

Allergies from Dust

Direct contact with room heaters can cause burns, and improper use can lead to overheating of surrounding materials.

Overheating and Burns

Heaters can increase the risk of fire if placed near flammable items or left unattended.
