desk heater

Office warmth source

A desk heater is a small portable heating device designed to warm a person's immediate workspace.

Unlike space heaters meant for entire rooms, desk heaters sit on or under a desk to provide localized warmth: I keep a desk heater at the office because the AC runs too cold.
