(fire hazard notwithstanding I am not sure my experience is relevant but : I had to stop using my electrical heater because it interfered with my computer and caused all kinds of odd errors. My heater was plugged into the same power strip as my computer and was fairly near it. Whether the interference was through the power or through radio interference, I don't know. Good Luck
