Heaters is situated approximately three miles north of Flatwoods on U.S. Route 19, which is a paved two-lane road.

Prior to the construction of I-79 in 1974, US-19 was the main road between Morgantown and Charleston, and Heaters was a convenient place to stop. At its peak, Heaters had a gas station, a general store, and a lunch restaurant. All are now gone.
