Central heating, quite simply, is the production of heat from a single source point which is then distributed through the rest of the house or building. Central heating has existed since the time the Greeks built the Temple of Ephesus with flues conducting heat from a furnace. The Romans improved on this basic concept with the use of empty spaces and pipes connected into a circuit leading from the main furnace.
Modern central heating systems are much more compact but work on the same basic principle. These systems are also more complex, being based on gas or oil fired furnaces or electrical heaters, with electronic thermostat control. A variety of malfunctions can develop over time. Some of those can entail serious hazard if pilot valves develop gas leaks or oil tanks age, corrode, and begin leaking. The risk of fire is among the more serious consequences of not attending to the proper upkeep and repair of the heating system.
