The water in a home heated with forced hot water. The water is heated in the boiler and then the water is pumped through the radiators in the home. In the radiators, the water is hotter than the air in the room, and the water gives up heat. The heat brings the air temperature of the home up to the desired level. The water conducts the heat from the boiler to the room, and then returns to the boiler to pick up more heat.

Answer

The original answer describes 'convection', rather than 'conduction'. An example of conduction is a Poker left in a fireplace. Heat transfer occurs from the higher temperature end of the Poker to the cooler end by conduction.
