1. An apparatus, comprising:
a first heating element and a second heating element, the first and second heating elements being configured to generate heat to be output in response to being powered with alternating current (AC) power;
a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the generated heat; and
a processor configured to, based on the temperature, generate a set of cycles, wherein a percentage of a total AC power within the set of cycles is randomly distributed to the first and second heating elements, an AC power percentage of each of the cycles being within a set of AC power percentage values, to control the first heating element and the second heating element such that the total AC power percentage leads to a temperature adjustment to reach a reference temperature.
