If you don't have access to the thermostat and wanted to do this somewhere in the wires or at the furnace, you would need to know enough not to have needed to ask this question.

Don't touch unless you're an electronics tech that can read a circuit diagram and figure out what would need to be done safely.



A plug-in space heater would be your next best bet. I favor the oil filled ones that look like old fashioned radiators for even heating. Don't turn it on and off.
