My utility sends newsletters before winter storms with tips to be prepared. One of them mentioned: “Do not use the oven to heat your home.”
Why?
In: Engineering
1. Its super inefficient energy-wise, and if you have power/gas to the stove you should have still have heating otherwise unless your heating system conveniently broke.
2. High risk of fire if you leave the oven on for long periods of time.
Space Heaters are usually readily available and won’t break the bank for cost or be a massive fire hazard if you actually have a broken heating system and need enough heat to get by until it gets fixed.
