Every building or complex has a boiler to provide hot water, which is heated tap water. I drank it once in the hospital. I asked the nurse for a cup of hot water and she filled my cup from the tap.

In the house I am living (an old traditional one), the bioler only provide hot water. Heat is provided by electricity. So when power is gone, we have hot water but no heat.
