This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Centralized heating just means a single source of heat, heats the entire building...

You know how old timey houses have 27 chimneys? That's non centralized heating.

A 2 room dwelling that has a single source of heat is still centralized heating even if relies on natural air flow to heat the second room.

Which is why I said sleeping on a furnace is the most direct (in distance at least) use of centralized heating

Central heat requires a mechanical means to move the heat.

Having a single wood stove heater is NOT central heating.
