They take moisture, not oxygen, out of the air. A humidifier will help.

What others said is correct: Electric ones dry the air and remove moisture as they provide heat, but they do not remove oxygen. Any kind of fuel burning heaters absolutely remove oxygen as well as moisture from the air. Leave a window open a crack if it's a small room and there isn't enough ventilation in it.

No but you take precious oxygen out of the air

If they are electric heaters, then they do not consume oxygen; if they are fueled by a petroleum product like kerosene, propane, etc., then they do consume oxygen and produce carbon monoxide.

it relatively is exciting stuff that I discovered from a gas pipeline worker. organic gas is relatively a mix of quite a few gases, methane, butane and propane the biggest share. each and each has it quite is own particular gravity and caloric content fabric. At stations alongside the gas pipeline those particular gases may be "striped" from the blended organic gas. many of the butane is going into plastics production. The propane is separated to make liquid propane and the biggest ingredient of "city gas" is methane. each and each organic gas provider purchases a certain energy/cubic foot product from the gas pipeline to guarantee everybody's kit works right. Your greatest fee may be criminal expenses. maximum organic gas carriers do no longer enable portable kit to be related to their line. verify which incorporate your close by provider.

Depends what it is.
An electric heater? Probably not.
A propane heater which burns propane? Absolutely. fire = oxygen combustion.

NO, but they dry up the moisture and cause an inbalance in your humidity.
