The heat is distributed throughout the building via air ducts. One of the advantages of such a system is that it can also be used for air conditioning and as a dehumidifying unit. This system is often referred to as a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) unit. Many such systems are thermostatically controlled and can be programmed for maximum energy efficiency.
Radiant floor heating systems are popular, for use in cold tile floors, saunas, and for de-icing driveways. This type of central heating system is thermostatically controlled, and can be turned off and on to increase energy efficiency. An advantage to radiant floor heating is the ability to mount pipes under the floor, and to have a wider variety of choice in flooring, so homeowners are not restricted to carpeting for the sake of warmth.
Central heating systems allow for a wide variety of heating methods, including solar and geothermal, which are extremely cost-effective and environmentally-friendly. Because heating and air condition costs are high, it makes good business sense to invest in a state of the art environmentally friendly, economical heating system that also delivers maximum climate control.
