A central heating system heats a building from one main source of heat. There may also be ventilation, and air conditioning which can cool the building.
A central heating system has a furnace or boiler that uses fuel or electricity to heat water or air. Heated air is pumped through through ducts. Steam or hot water is pumped to radiators. The fuel may be coal or wood, oil, kerosene, natural gas, or electricity.
Central heating gives better temperature control in a building.. Large buildings may be divided into smaller parts with their own temperature controls.
Before the general use of central heating in most homes there would be a fire in one room and the whole family would be there in the evening. With central heating people can use the different parts of the house. In 1965 a British Gas advertisement said that central heating “turns bedrooms into playrooms”.[1]
