Central Heating

Central heating refers to a common method of heating a home or building whereby a central heating unit generates heat which is distributed via ducts or pipes to remote areas of the structure as needed. Sometimes a central heating system is combined with a central air cooling system. Most new homes and buildings are designed with central heating. Older homes and buildings are sometimes refit for central heating. Central heating systems typically run oil, gas, wood and sometimes electricity. An alternative to central heating is local heating with the use of stand-alone heaters to heat up just one room or a portion of a building. Modern central heating systems can run efficiently providing warm and comfortable homes at a surprisingly low cost. The overall effectiveness of a heating system depends on two things: a high-efficiency boiler, that ensures little potential heat is wasted, and good controls, designed to ensure that the boiler is only working when heat is needed in the home.
