Although a heater is much less likely to cause problems than some other loads as it is just about a purely resistive load and won't cause spikes, just dips according to how good the wiring is.

The one piece of kitchen equiptment that has caused me the most problems is a toaster. I used to blow fuses at my old house all the time and 95% of the time it was the toaster that pushed it over the edge.
