Heating systems
All habitable structures must have heating systems. They can come in many forms they can be old they can be new. They can be centralized or unitary units. As long as I heat the space and are safe they can be acceptable. The heating system distributes heated air throughout the interior the habitable interior of the home using gas or electricity as a fuel source, they can use water or they can use refrigerant as a medium to move heat in and out of the system. A heating system may be localized such as a wall heater or centralized with duct work. Heating systems should have automatic controls to operate.
