Should heaters and heaters be turned off in accordance with the command in the hadith?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Electricity, heaters, and heaters for cold, how is that?

Answer:
It appears—and Allah knows best—that they are not included in this; because these are intended for the warmth of the place, the light is not intended. Then, these are not fire; these are a special internal power that achieves the need for which they were created, which is warmth or cooling, and they do not usually pose a danger. This is unlike lights that are not needed; they are turned off because people are sleeping and they have no need for light.
