    Centralized heating means heating multiple rooms or locations from a central heating source. Distributing the heat is the entire reason for the ‘centralized’ part of the term.

    Like a fireplace that is open two rooms on opposite sides of a wall could be a stretch of the definition.

        HVAC is one type of central heating system. I mean, your link has ‘centeal heating’ in the name.

        So is a centralized system that uses steam to heat disconnected buildings.

        Go find a definition of central heating that doesn’t include heating more than one location or rooms.

        Top of your own link mate.

        Central heating is defined as a system that provides warmth to the entire interior of a building from a single point, using methods such as hot water, steam, or forced air to distribute heat to various rooms

        It requires mechanical means to move the heat.

        “HVAC units” is an integral system that can have an ac unit installed on it.

        A boiler can be central heat, but it’s not an hvac unit, but it does fall under the broader “Heating/Venting/air condition” that makes up the term.

        Why’d you link this to defend your point

            It’s ok to be wrong man, it’s really not that big a deal. You can only try to move goal posts so many times before it starts looking silly

              If you think goalposts were moved, you didn’t understand any of this and explaining more won’t help.

              Feel free to keep replying to my comments, but I’ll never see anymore of your questions
