What is "central heating"?
Central heating is a system used to heat a building by distributing warmth from a single source to multiple rooms. This system typically involves a central boiler, furnace, or heat pump that heats water, air, or other fluids. These heated fluids are then circulated through pipes, ducts, or radiators to provide warmth throughout the space. Central heating is commonly found in homes, offices, and larger buildings, providing a comfortable indoor temperature during colder months. The system can be powered by gas, electricity, oil, or renewable energy sources, and it helps maintain a consistent, even heat across the building.
Examples
The central heating system kicked in as soon as the temperature dropped outside.
