'... the heat turned up full blast'

Hello friends,
I have some problems with the exactly meaning of this expression in this sentence I have read:
'All of the windows had been tightly closed, and the heat turned up full blast'
Could someone help me?
thanks in advance, Iannis.

Hello, Anon, I guess the context is freezing weather; the persons within the house had closed the windows tightly, and had turned the heating up to its highest power.
