Question

Would putting a fan next to the radiator be a good idea?

Community Answer

Yes. The warm air would be able to circulate easier, which would provide the room with more heat.

Question

Would turning on a light help?

Community Answer

Light bulbs wouldn’t be strong enough to give off enough heat for you to actually notice a difference in temperature.

Question

What can be done to heat a room without using appliances?

Community Answer

Curtains are a good start. If you have thicker curtains on your windows, it will trap heat in the house at night, making it warmer. Putting a rug down if the floor is wood is another good option. The rug traps heat, also making the room warmer.

Question

How do I warm my room with things I have at home?

Community Answer

Use a heater to warm your room; cover the bare floor to warm it; add blankets to your bed; keep the environment clean; invite friends over as body heat will warm the room.

Question

My room has blinds on the window. Does that affect anything?

Community Answer

Not really, no. In the summer, closing the blinds can help keep a room cool by cutting down on the amount of sunlight that enters the room, but they won't do anything to keep you warm.

Question

Is it safe to use a radiator or a heater to keep the room warm? Will there be any long term hazardous effects from this?

Community Answer

You can use either for heat. There are no long term effects, just don't leave anything flammable close to it as it will probably get too hot, and may even start a fire.

Question

How do I produce heat for my room without appliances or other people?

Community Answer

Exercise in the room. You will bring up your internal temperature a bit and will give off a lot of energy.

Question

How can you make a heater heat up the whole room rather than just the place it’s in?

Priya

Community Answer

Leave the heater on in the preferred room for about 30 minutes, making sure the door to that room is closed so the heat doesn't escape. If you have a small heater, give it at least that time before moving elsewhere in the room.

Question

How do I warm up a room if I don't have an electric blanket or water bottle?

Priya

Community Answer

Try letting sunlight through your windows, and maybe try getting a heater for your room. If none of these are options, pile on bed linen (blankets, duvets, quilts, etc.) and wear a sweater to bed.

Question

Can I use an old blanket instead of a rug to insulate my room?

Community Answer

Yes, you can use anything that is insulating. The thicker the blanket, the better.
