Stay Warm & Safe with Portable and Space Heaters
Jan 30, 2026
Cold Nebraska and Kansas winters often mean relying on extra heat sources at home. While portable, space, and garage heaters can help keep you comfortable, it’s important to use them safely. Always place heaters on a level, non-flammable surface and keep them at least three feet away from curtains, furniture, fuel, or other combustible materials. Never leave heaters running unattended or while sleeping.
When using propane-powered heaters, make sure they are approved for indoor or garage use and that the area is properly ventilated. Outdoor heaters should never be used inside enclosed spaces, as this can lead to dangerous carbon monoxide buildup. Installing carbon monoxide detectors near sleeping areas provides an added layer of protection for your home.
At Farmers Cooperative, your safety is our priority. We encourage members to carefully follow manufacturer instructions and reach out to us with any questions about safe propane use. A little extra caution can go a long way in keeping your family warm, comfortable, and safe all winter long.
