  • Is there a campus policy on the use of space heaters?
  • Space heaters are not prohibited at UC Davis.  The campus Fire Department permits the use of space heaters that meet campus guidelines (https://safetyservices.ucdavis.edu/safetynet/portable-space-heater-guidelines).  However, space heaters are costly in terms of energy use and the maintenance issues they create. Before you get a space heater, carefully consider the following: 1) Do you really need one?  If your office is consistently too hot or too cold, your first call should be to the Facilities Management Customer Support Center.  If there is a problem with the building heating or cooling, they will resolve it and restore the building to the campus indoor temperature standard (68 to 78 degrees year round).  If your building heating and cooling system is working properly, and the room temperature is a matter of personal preference, then speak to your supervisor about using a space heater. 2)  Who will pay for the costs associated with the space heater?  Any expenses related to the space heater will be departmental expenses, including the purchase of the space heater.  If your department pays for utilities, the space heater may add to your energy bill.  Unforeseen expenses associated with space heaters are blown electrical circuits, which must be reset –on a recharge basis—by campus electricians.  It may be necessary to rewire your facility to handle space heaters, which would also be a departmental expense. 3)  Are you willing to blow a fuse?  The electrical requirements for space heaters are incredibly high, and fuses blown by space heaters are daily occurrences at UC Davis. Circuit breakers must be reset by campus electricians, which will be a departmental expense.
