Use of standalone heaters

Posted by Facilities on January 21, 2019 in Facilities Management

Facilities Management would like to remind the Dalhousie community to limit use of personal heaters or fans. If there is a problem with the heat or cooling in your area, please have your building administrator put in a service request. Persistent use of personal devices often overloads the electrical system and can trip breakers thus causing power outages in other areas. Given existing workload for FM staff, it is not always possible  for someone to immediately respond to repair a tripped breaker.
