Yalkut Yosef: 328
When it comes to extreme cold everyone is considered to be the same as a sick person. Therefore if it is very cold on Shabbat, it is permissible to instruct a non Jew to turn on the heater. If it is not extremely cold, but rather just colder than one is comfortable with, it is not okay to ask a Goy. However, even if it is not extremely cold, it is permissible to ask a Goy to turn the heater on for a Holeh She'en Bo Sakana if necessary. If a Goy turned on a heater for a Holeh She'en Bo Sakana anyone may take advantage of the heat even if it is not very cold out.
