Home heating refers to the process of raising the temperature of a building to ensure comfort during cold weather. This is typically achieved through various systems, such as furnaces, boilers, or heat pumps, which distribute warm air or water throughout the space. Different fuels can be used for heating, including natural gas, electricity, oil, and wood. Each type of system has its own advantages and disadvantages, affecting efficiency, cost, and environmental impact. Proper insulation and maintenance are also important for maximizing the effectiveness of home heating systems.
