Central heating instalations usually involve systems that burn some type of fuel at one location in a building and distribute the resulting heat to other points within the structure. In modern commercial and residential structures, the place where the heat-generating operation occurs is usually a furnace room. The most economical central heating instalations commonly circulate heated water throughout the system and usually use either gas or oil as fuel.

In gas central heating systems, the primary components are the supply lines for gas (either from a tank or from a gas utility); the furnace or boiler where the heating takes place; a pump; and radiators for releasing the heat at the point of distribution.

The central heating instalation plan will normally include two components for water circulation. One component handles the delivery of heated water to the radiators, and the other component delivers hot water for household use. The component for the radiators is referred to as the space heating circuit, and the component that releases into the taps for household use is called the hot water circuit. Well-planned central heating instalation will make efficient use of the heat generated in the two components.

More sophisticated central heating instalations may combine central heating and air conditioning equipment plus ventilation. These combined systems are usually more appropriate in commercial buildings. The integrated system taken together is called an HVAC system, referring to the central heating instalation, the ventilation, and the air conditioning. Equipment such as trane central air conditioners may also have complementary warm air central heating units.

Concerns about pollution have led to new regulations on central heating instalation. The rules mean that planning the central heating instalation should consider other factors beyond the warm air central heating equipment. The plan must also account for insulation, doors, and other aspects to enhance system performance and reduce overall fuel consumption.
