Heating is expensive. It would be nice if there was an alternative that at least reduced heating costs, wouldn’t it?

Is it possible to keep your four walls warm without a heater or fireplace? At least there are a few tips on how heat can enter the room and be trapped there.

The most obvious trick is an electronic device. No, there is no heater or anything like that. Instead, it’s about televisions, game consoles or even desktop PCs. The device generates a lot of heat, which is then distributed throughout the room. So if you’re enjoying a movie or playing a game, you can also warm up the room a bit at the same time.

If you want to keep the room warm and do something useful at the same time, you can cook or bake, for example. And even when ironing, little heat is released. The dryer is also effective, although not exactly cheap. The device emits heat into the room.

A less comfortable and relaxing solution is to exercise. If you exercise indoors, it doesn’t just increase your body temperature. The heat you generate is also released into the environment.
