For people with diabetes, nerve damage, or circulation problems, electric blankets should be used with caution. Such individuals may not feel excessive heat, leading to burns. For safety, stick to low settings, limit use to bed preheating, and choose a blanket with an auto shut-off feature.
This makes modern, controlled products like the Certeza Electric Blanket a wise choice for elderly family members in Multan, Lahore, and Faisalabad, where winters can still get chilly.
Electric Blankets During Pregnancy
Doctors generally recommend that pregnant women avoid excessive heat exposure. While short, low-level use of electric blankets may not cause harm, it is best to use it only for preheating the bed, keep the temperature moderate, and turn it off before lying under it.
In Pakistan, where many women rely on extra bedding during winters, a low-heat electric blanket can be a safer and more comfortable option.
Do Electric Blankets Emit Harmful Radiation?
Some people worry about electromagnetic fields also known as EMFs. Electric blankets do emit low-frequency EMFs, but current scientific evidence shows no proven link between EMFs and health problems.
So, using your Certeza UB-20 Double Under Blanket or similar products at recommended settings is safe.
Fire Safety: How to Prevent Accidents
Here are some rules to follow.
- Never place heavy quilts, books, or clothes on top of the blanket.
- Replace the blanket immediately if you notice damage.
- Plug it directly into the wall socket instead of using extensions.
When used correctly, electric blankets are far safer than gas heaters, which often cause accidents in Quetta and northern Balochistan during winters.
Are Electric Blankets Energy Efficient?
Electric blankets consume less electricity compared to room heaters. For example, a heater can add thousands to your monthly bill, while a blanket consumes far less power.
This makes options like the Certeza UB-10 Single Blanket a cost-effective solution for students or individuals living in hostels in Islamabad, Lahore, or Karachi.
Where Are Electric Blankets Most Useful in Pakistan?
Electric blankets are especially popular in Murree, Swat, and Kaghan Valley which are tourist areas with heavy snowfall. They are also widely used in Gilgit, Hunza, and Skardu which are extreme cold regions. People in Quetta, Ziarat, and Kalat in Balochistan also rely on them because of freezing weather. Urban cities like Islamabad, Abbottabad, Lahore, and Peshawar see demand too because of their long winters.
Since Certeza offers Nationwide Delivery, people from all these regions can easily order and enjoy warmth without worrying about availability.
