How much of the power used by something like this ends up as heat? The FCC notice says it was an "Antminer s5". A bit of Googling suggests it uses a little under 600 watts.

If most of that ends up as heat in his apartment, that could reduce his need for other heating which could offset some of the electricity cost, especially if that other heating is electric heating.

As there is no other energy output, all of it.
