  2. Alice H. Parker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_H._Parker

    At the time, gas central heating had yet to be developed, [citation needed] so people relied on burning coal or wood as their main source of heating. Parker felt that the fireplace was not enough to keep her and her home warm during the cold New Jersey winter, and designed the first gas furnace that was powered by natural gas and the first heating system to contain individually controlled air ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating,_ventilation,_and...

    Heaters are appliances whose purpose is to generate heat (i.e. warmth) for the building. This can be done via central heating. Such a system contains a boiler, furnace, or heat pump to heat water, steam, or air in a central location such as a furnace room in a home, or a mechanical room in a large building.

  4. Central heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

    Central heating. A central heating system provides warmth to a number of spaces within a building from one main source of heat. It is a component of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (short: HVAC) systems, which can both cool and warm interior spaces. A central heating system has a furnace that converts fuel or electricity to heat.

  5. Condensing boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensing_boiler

    Condensing boiler. Condensing boilers are water heaters typically used for heating systems that are fueled by gas or oil. When operated in the correct circumstances, a heating system can achieve high efficiency (greater than 90% on the higher heating value) by condensing water vapour found in the exhaust gases in a heat exchanger to preheat the ...

  6. Heating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_system

    A heating system is a mechanism for maintaining temperatures at an acceptable level; by using thermal energy within a home, office, or other dwelling. Typically, these systems are a crucial part of an HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system. A heating system can be categorized into central heating system or distributed systems ...

  7. Gas lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_lighting

    Gas lighting is the production of artificial light from combustion of a fuel gas such as methane, propane, butane, acetylene, ethylene, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, coal gas (town gas) or natural gas. The light is produced either directly by the flame, generally by using special mixes (typically propane or butane) of illuminating gas to increase ...

  8. Gas stove - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_stove

    A gas stove is a stove that is fuelled by combustible gas such as natural gas, propane, butane, liquefied petroleum gas, syngas, or other flammable gas. Before the advent of gas, cooking stoves relied on solid fuels such as coal or wood. The first gas stoves were developed in the 1820s and a gas stove factory was established in England in 1836.

  9. Forced-air gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air_gas

    Gas-fired forced-air furnaces have a burner in the furnace fueled by natural gas. A blower forces cold air through a heat exchanger and then through duct-work that distributes the hot air through the building. [2] Each room has an outlet from the duct system, often mounted in the floor or low on the wall – some rooms will also have an opening ...
