Road accident surveys continually put driver distractions as the number one cause of road traffic accidents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s nothing more distracting to any driver than freezing cold in their vehicle and driving in those conditions. What about those drivers who don&#8217;t have the time or patience to clean the ice and snow off their vehicle&#8217;s windows; they&#8217;re driving with severely reduced visibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a portable car heater is a quick way to clear the ice and snow before the car&#8217;s heater has a chance to kick in and finish the job, saving a lot of time and a potential accident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What safety precautions should you take when you use a portable car heater?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They still use electricity, so keep them away from any liquids.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure the heater is suitable for your vehicle.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heaters should automatically turn off if they tip over for any reason.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A thermostat (temperature controls) is essential.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure you switch the heater off or unplug from the lighter socket when not in use.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check for any breakages in the cord and make sure the fuses work correctly.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Best Portable Car Heater FAQ<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Are portable car heaters safe?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dealing with anything electrical that reaches high temperatures is potentially dangerous. You should treat them with respect, even though they are typically small, and plug them into your cigarette lighter socket.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assuming you have checked the heater&#8217;s manufacturing source and that it&#8217;s a suitable one for your vehicle, then it&#8217;s a question of you being careful when you have it switched on while driving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do portable heaters have a remote?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically no, they do not. Most portable car heaters have a simple on\/off switch on the body of the heater. Of course, you can always turn them off by removing the plug from the lighter socket.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How Long Does It Take A Portable Heater To Be Effective?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s no definitive answer to this question because it will depend on the heater. But considering most portable heaters are small and have a relatively low heat output, it will take a few minutes to, let&#8217;s say, melt the ice from your windscreen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You use them to begin the process of unfreezing your vehicle. To wait for your car engine to heat up sufficiently for the heaters to throw any warmth out can take quite a long time. The portable car heater can begin the process instantly you switch it on inside the car; it will undoubtedly get you going a lot faster than not having one.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bottom Line &#8211; Best Portable Car Heater<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several ways of heating your vehicle in freezing weather, and you can see from our buying guide we have given you a wide selection.
