Vented propane heaters should not be left on all night. You may also choose to leave some heaters on, but the best thing to do is to turn the heaters off before going to bed or to set a timer so that the heater only runs for a few hours.

No it's not safe. Wehn left unattended the whole day. It can cause accidental fires or even carbon monoxide build eup which is toxic.

Vented propane heaters are not safe to leave on all night long. Given the health risks that come with leaving vented propane heaters all night long, it's generally not a good idea to leave them running all night long.

The most common patio heaters produce roughly 40,000 BTUs per hour - meaning a 20-pound propane tank will provide upwards of 10 hours of heat on the highest setting.

Ensure that your heater is accredited by one of the 3 major testing organizations and includes features such as automatic shutdown, tip over protection, a shutter off timer and an adjustable thermostat.

Leaving a propane heater on for an extended period of time, such as all day, can be potentially dangerous if not done properly. Propane heaters require proper ventilation to ensure that the byproducts of combustion, such as carbon monoxide, are properly expelled from the living space. Inadequate ventilation can lead to a buildup of toxic gases, which can be harmful or even deadly if inhaled. Additionally, propane heaters should be properly maintained to ensure that they are functioning correctly, with no leaks or other issues that could pose a safety risk. If you plan to leave your propane heater on for an extended period of time, it is important to make sure that the heater is located in a well-ventilated area, that it is functioning properly, and that it is regularly maintained. If you have any concerns or are unsure about the safety of your propane heater, it is recommended that you consult a professional.

It is safe to leave your propane heater on all day long because it will not cause any negative effects. propane heaters are typically turned on when there is a loss in air pressure, meaning when the propane heater is used in the presence of another device.

NEVER leave propane space heaters unattended. Even if you think you'll only be gone for a minute, turn them off every time you leave the room.
