Common questions
Is a space heater safe in a small apartment?
Choose one with tip-over and overheat shutoff, plug it directly into a wall outlet, and keep it at least three feet from bedding and curtains.
What size air purifier does a studio need?
Match the clean air delivery rate to the room. A rough guide is a CADR of about two thirds of the square footage.
