Question on Electric Heaters

[Vilatus]

Hi all,

We just had a new electric wall heater installed in our upstairs bathroom (birds are also on this level) and I’m concerned about the initial burn period. It is the same exact safe model we had previously, but new.

How long should I be worried about the initial factory burn off? I left it on overnight with the window open and door closed with it on, as well as letting it run full blast with everything closed off for about twenty minutes. Today it has been on low with the window open and door closed again. I no longer smell anything but I just do not want to take a risk. But, also we’re cold, lol.

Photo attached. It is a Dayton fan forced heater.

I don't think any of us knows for sure.

I'm taking a wild guess here, but if it's been on for 24 hours, I would deem it safe. Maybe, if I'm paranoid, 3 days. Otherwise, I'm with DonnaBudgie and am not sure.

It’s me, I’m the paranoid one, lol. I’m thinking you’re probably right. I’m going to try another round of high heat with everything closed off and then I guess just run it low and keep an eye out.

Everyone has survived AND we’re warm!!
