Heating when the power is off.

A lot of houses have this tank at the top of the stairs and if you open the door and remove the insulation jacket you have a fair amount of heat for a few hours. In fact we use the cupboard for storing laundry as it’s always warm.
I have other options but this might be a quick source of heat in a short duration power cut.

we use the airing cupboard, where the hot water cylinder is, to dry washing.
of course once the power goes off the tank will go cold and stay cold.
