Are catalytic heaters safe indoors.

Catalytic heaters are a little safer and are labled as can be used in ventilated tents. You can connect it to either two smaller one pound propane tanks or a larger twenty pound model and heat up to four hundred square feet indoors. Likewise if anything gets too close to the heating element it can also catch on fire. So long as you take precautions against fire and provide ventilation most propane heaters are perfectly safe to use indoors.

A gas cartridge can run this type of heater for 8 hours. If your catalytic heater is a portable model make sure that it has tip over protection so it will shut down any time it s not in an upright position. However it will still heat without the fan blowing. Please still use extreme caution when using.

Catalytic heaters produce a number of byproducts that necessitate ventilation. Any heater including portable space heaters as well as gas heaters pose a fire risk. If they topple over they can overheat and start a fire. Only use a catalytic heater that is specifically designed for indoor use.

Use only catalytic heaters that have low oxygen shut down protection.
