What logos should I look for then?

At the very least you want UL (www.ul.com) or CSA (www.csa.ca) safety
approval, and make sure it's not faked. One sign of a fake approval
is the lack of an accompanying registration number, but check the
numbers at their respective websites anyway because I've seen at least
two faked ones. The numbers will usually point to the manufacturer,
and places like JonnyGuru.com can tell you which manufacturers are
good.

Also look for EnergyStar and 80+ logos, that will ensure efficiency through a
wide range of temperature and load.
