How to heat the air with arduino?
LEDs are not really efficient for heating up, you can better use a normal light bulb for that (they are less efficient, thus giving more heat).

The Arduino can only control some 100's of mA, that's not much for heating purposes.

Did you think about using a real heater (maybe small size), and use a relay to turn it on by your Arduino, and using a temperature sensor to switch it off above 28 and switch it on below 25 (or a lesser margin to keep up with the time it takes to change the environment temperature)?

If you do not want an external mains power, you could use probably a 12V heater and use a 12V->5V converter for your Arduino, or use a 5V heater pad, but according to what I have seen they are more for warming up cold hands, I doubt they can bring up the heat to 25-28 degrees Celcius. Besides, they are probably not very efficient.
