Rather than have a coal, gas or electric fire heating one room, central heating is one boiler (gas or electric) heating the whole house. This is done by pumping hot water through pipes that feed several radiators installed in each room and hall way. A thermostat in the hall (for instance) allows the temperature to be controlled overall, with a regulating valve on each radiator for separate room control.
