Technology has improved our lives over the years by making it easier for us to accomplish tasks inside and outside of our homes, and in addition, technology has been instrumental in bringing comfort when the two of us need it, then over the years, technology has improved to better fit our needs, however, there are some items that are still problematic and need to be addressed.
One item that could use some improvement is the space heater, but many people use these heating systems during the Winter to supplement their high energy bills, then while I suppose the space oil furnace is a charming invention, they are responsible for various of the residential fires each year.
In fact the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) states that space heating systems are responsible for an average of 1,730 residential fires every year and about 77 deaths, 160 injuries and about $62 million in disfigures, then unluckyly, a lot of these fires have been caused by imcommon use by the homeowners, which includes leaving the oil furnace next to flammable fabrics, leaving it unattended, or plugging it into a surge protector. Though there is some negligence on the part of the user, I suppose it is about time all the manufacturers improved the technology to avoid such misuse… After some research on the weird types of space heaters, I found a few heating systems that could be mounted to the wall, but not only are these heating systems safer for children, but they are the safest models on the market. My mother uses a space oil furnace during the Winter, and I will propose that she invests in this mountable model. My motto is better be safe than sorry – I could be preventing a potential fire.
