| In simple terms, you have a single point in the house where heat is generated. Heat may be generated by boiling water (steam), hot water, burning oil or gas to heat air or compressing a refrigerant and absorbing the cold air (heat pump).
The heat from this central heater is distributed throughout the house via steam pipes or water pipes to baseboard heat exchangers or air ducts for hot air systems.
A thermostat tells the heating unit when to turn on or turn off base upon room temperature and the desired setting.
