The term heat can refer to something being hot or cold. If an object is hot, you could say that it has a lot of heat, and if it is cold, you could say that it has very little heat.

However it should be noted that heat and temperature are not quite the same thing. A bathful of lukewarm water contains far more heat, or thermal energy, than a lit candle. Though the candle has a higher temperature.
