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.
Not for normal "wear and tear" that resulted in repair or replacement.
If you mean the condenser to a central A/C system, it is usually located outside the house. The condenser part of the system is responsible for discarding the heat that has been "collected" from the inside the house. It is the evaporator that is inside.
A central heating system is one that heats the whole house from one location. Natural or bottled gas and heating oil are widely used as fuel. Electric heat pumps are common in milder climates. Coal used to be used but is not common in the US nowadays.
You cannot control heating in individual rooms. Central heating provides heating to various rooms in a house or building from one location.
James Madison was the President in 1809, but the first central heating system in the White House was not installed until 1837 under Martin Van Buren.
The ancient Romans had the hypocaust system of central heating. This was only practical for the first floor. If a second floor needed heating they used a brazier of hot coals.The ancient Romans had the hypocaust system of central heating. This was only practical for the first floor.

Depending on what situation it is. If it is a small house central heating works better, if it is a big house then air conditioning works better.
Insulation helps to keep heat inside a house, meaning as less heats escapes there is no need to heat the house up, normally by Central Heating, therefore saving energy.
Anywhere that is warm, dark or small ! If you've 'lost' yours (how did it escape in the first place !) look around your central heating pipes and boilers system. Also look in dark places (such as under furniture etc)
A hypocaust was the Roman heating system. There were hollow channels in the floors or walls of a house/building which allowed the heat from a furnace to flow through the house. Our present day central heating systems are based upon the same principles but with modern heat ducts and refinements.
