Is it likely cheaper to use a space heater than full central heating if you literally dont even use much of the space in the house that you never like go anyway?

You're viewing a single thread.
Just because you have central heating doesn't mean you have to heat the whole house. Only turn on the heat in the rooms you need.
That's the opposite of central heating
No. The water is heated centrally and then distributed to the heating elements in each room.
No, that's radiators.
Yes, radiators hooked up to a central heating system ....
No, a water heater is not a furnace.
No, a hot water heater is not a furnace.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator
Radiators are commonly used to heat buildings on the European continent. In a radiative central heating system, hot water or sometimes steam is generated in a central boiler and circulated by pumps through radiators within the building, where this heat is transferred to the surroundings.
This really isn't rocket science.
Sure, radiators can be classified as a subtype of central heating, but "central heating" also describes furnaces, with ductwork that is not so easily shut off per room. You're solely thinking of radiators, when that's far from the only type of central heating system, and is certainly not the norm in places like the US.
I only have one dial. So it kinda does
Ok, that's just shitty central heating then. Never seen such a system.
Granted but thats where Im at so I'm more in solutions-mode if you catch my drift (within the confines of how I've described and written about the sitch) Thanks for caring :)
