A central heating system provides warmth to the whole interior of a building (or portion of a building) from one point to multiple rooms. When combined with other systems in order to control the building climate, the whole system may be an HVAC system

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.

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.

Why'd you link this to defend your point

He doesn't read articles, surely you'd realise that by now.

Why did you not notice a way to move that heat isn't included in that definition?

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
