Space heaters can be a lifesaver during the colder months of winter. They are convenient for heating a small area of a larger building or workspace to save costs and energy and concentrate heat on the space where users actually are. However, sometimes appliances can fail. Should your heater fail, shop Staples for replacement space heater parts and get back up and running in no time at all.
What Are Space Heater Replacement Parts?
Space heaters are self-contained appliances that heat enclosed rooms using radiation or convection. Most models are electric, but Staples also offers propane, kerosene and natural gas options. In the unlikely event that your space heater breaks down, space heater replacement parts can be used to repair the appliance as needed. The parts are often manufacturer- or model-specific, but universal parts that work for multiple brands are also available, depending on the part’s functionality.
Can Space Heaters Be Repaired With Replacement Parts?
Though they are mechanically simple appliances, electric heaters can suffer a variety of faults that stop them from heating. The most common problems are caused by switches, thermostats and heating elements. In addition, higher-watt heaters can trip a circuit breaker or blow a fuse, stopping electricity to the circuit. Here are a variety of rare but potential problems your heater may face:
- Heating elements burn out
- Thermostats fail
- Power cords and switches fail
- Heater fans fail
Depending on the heater’s root problem and the experience level of the at-home technician, space heaters can be repaired with the correct replacement part. For larger issues, it may be more economical and efficient to replace the heater unit altogether.
How Often Should Space Heaters Be Replaced?
The specific manufacturer and model of your heater as well as your overall rate of usage are all factors that affect the recommended heater lifecycle before replacement is needed. However, there are universal signs that suggest your space heater should be replaced to ensure the safety of users in your home, office or work environment.
- Plugging your heater into extension cords or power strips increases the risk of electrical malfunctions like overheating and catching fire. If your heater has been used in this way before, it’s time to consider replacing it.
- If your space heater puts out an unusually strong or potent odor, the heating element could be on its last legs. For your safety, a replacement heater might be needed.
- If the shielding on the power cord is frayed or degraded in any way, it could pose a danger of electrical fire to users. Replace the heater under these circumstances.
- Does your heater feature appropriate safety features? If it is not designed to automatically shut off when tipped over, you should strongly consider a model that is.
The benefits of upgrading your space heater to a new model include new features, increased safety, lower energy consumption, and better heating!
Can Space Heaters be Mounted on Walls?
Yes! Staples sells a variety of space heater accessories including L-shaped mounting brackets with durable steel construction. They allow the user to mount the heater or fan to the wall or ceiling for better circulation and heating exposure.
