More important is that he takes his medication on time.

And in the very first post too.

"I have one of those 1500 watt radiator style portable
electric heaters. Love it"

I know what a radiator style portable electric heater is, but now I
have no idea what kind of heater he has.

Still, I wouldnt' worry about contact points wearing out or burning
out.

I have six Markel, plus four 'oil radiator' types

I like the Markel's until safety went nuts on them and ruined their
effectiveness by making them safe.

Be that as it may, I've lost the contacts on two oil types, out of
France? and lost contacts on one Markel. yet all still work if
bypassed.

so, I would worry about ruining the contacts.
