A central heating system warms your whole home from a single source — a natural-gas boiler — instead of relying on scattered heating units in each room. The boiler heats water and distributes it to the home's heating units (wall heaters, underfloor heating, or a bathroom towel radiator), giving you unified, controllable warmth instead of makeshift solutions.

What the system is made of

  • The boiler: the heart of the system, heating water with natural gas and distributing it to every unit. (Details in Ariston natural-gas boilers.)
  • Wall-mounted heaters: units that hang on the wall, giving fast warmth to each room with separate control. (Details in Wall-mounted heaters.)
  • Underfloor heating: a hidden network of pipes under the floor that spreads warmth evenly with no visible radiators. (Details in Underfloor heating.)
  • Towel radiator: warms the bathroom and dries towels at the same time. (Details in Towel radiators.)

Why one system instead of scattered solutions

One source (the boiler) feeds every heating point in the home, so there's no duplicated equipment or scattered consumption. Each unit controls its own space, so you only heat what's in use.

Who this system fits

Suited to villas and buildings that want comprehensive, organized heating, especially in areas with cold winters. Choosing the heating type (wall, underfloor, or both) depends on your finishing stage — underfloor heating is easier and cheaper when done during finishing or a full renovation.

The right system for your home depends on its area, number of rooms, and finishing stage. Book a free inspection and we'll design the right heating system for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does central heating need a boiler?

Yes, the boiler is the source that feeds every heating unit (wall or underfloor) in the home.

Can I choose just one heating type?

Yes, you can start with wall heaters or underfloor heating depending on your needs and finishing — we determine that in the inspection.

Can underfloor heating be added to an existing apartment?

Easier and cheaper during finishing or a full renovation; in an existing property it may be possible depending on the case — an engineering inspection confirms it.
