Wood or coal was burned to make heat
Electricity
Solar energy is used for heating and electricity.
Half the world's population uses wood for cooking and heating purposes. Coal is also a popular choice for electricity generation, but not as widely used for cooking and heating in households.

Hydroelectric power is primarily a renewable energy resource used for electricity generation, not heating or cooling. It harnesses the kinetic energy of flowing or falling water to produce electricity, which can then be used for various applications, including heating and cooling systems. While hydroelectric plants themselves do not directly provide heating or cooling, the electricity they generate can power systems that do.
It is widely used in industry and the home for motors, heating, lighting, computers, etc
Electricity is used to generate heat through the process of resistance heating. When an electric current flows through a material with resistance, such as a heating element, the electrical energy is converted into heat energy. This heat can then be used for various purposes, such as heating water, cooking food, or warming a room.
fossil fuels used gor heating water to produce steam which further runs turbine to generate electricity
Coal, oil, and natural gas
A boiler is primarily used for heating. Water is heated and forced through pipes to heating receptacles called radiators. Giant boilers are also used for electricity. Water is heated to turn giant turbines that produce electricity.
solar power can be used for heating homes, lighting rooms and it can also be turned into electricity.
