A method for alerting a user of a heating apparatus condition comprising the steps of energizing the heating apparatus configured with a sensor; activating a timer electrically connected to the heating apparatus; counting a predetermined amount of time; sending a signal using a transmitter when the predetermined amount of time has elapsed; receiving the signal with a remote receiver located in a room separate from the heating apparatus; and activating a reminder of the energized condition. Additionally, this method would further comprise the steps of de-energizing the heating apparatus after a predetermined time period after sending the signal; and ending transmission of the signal to the remote receiving device.
