Zentralheizungen are central heating systems that provide warmth to multiple rooms in a building from a single heat source. This system typically uses a boiler or furnace to generate heat, which is then distributed through pipes or ducts. Common methods of heat distribution include hot water radiators, steam radiators, or forced air systems. These systems are efficient and can be powered by various energy sources, such as natural gas, oil, or electricity. Zentralheizungen are popular in residential and commercial buildings, as they offer consistent heating and can be controlled with thermostats for improved comfort and energy management.
