Depends on the heater and the rating of the “surge protector “, or any extension cord /device. Yes, a common/ cheap wiring device will not have a conductor rated to handle the current flow of an electric space heater.
Yikes! Also, air-fryers, do NOT plug those into a below average surge protectors. Why they make different cheap and ineffective surge protectors is beyond me..
@BridgeOvertroubledWaters Oh yeah, I found the picture online. Although my family had a space heater start shorting out and nearly catch fire when I was 13 years old.
