I have two questions:

There was no heating apart from one little electric fire.

1) What is electric fire ?
2) Can I use besides  or  exept for instead of  apart from ?

1: A form of radiant heating where a coil has an electric current running through it and making it very hot.

2: You could use either and the sentence would make sense.

I would probably call it an electric heater.
