Currently winter here and yes it does wonders heating the house, but beware that fan noise tends to annoy the rest of the family.  My main computer room sat at 24C (75f) last night with the window open, and runs 28C during the day.

Me too though the heat is not free.  If you have natural gas heat or heat pump, mining heat is near 4x the price.  So it adds to profit in the winter but if coins are $1 it won't make them profitable.

well as long as the cost of mining doesnt go over the value of bitcoins It will be "free" in a sense,,,,right now during daytime were getting up to 95f with my 8000btu ac running 24/7 in my room its still hot as hell
