The truth about central heating

Central heating has been about since the thirteenth century,



over the years the formatts of how we have recieved this luxury have changed, new fuels have been introduced and more recently technology has contributed to making central heating digitally regulated, saving hard earned cash and helped reduce the depletion of the worlds resources.


Climate change in the 13th century possibly put the 13th century cisterian monks from Spain into a position where central heating was needed. As we know Romans had great heating of baths and other designers had great ideas about insulation and burning things in the house safely, but it was the monks who made it desirable in there church, this one can assume brought about new followers, new technicians and a select few, who enjoyed the luxury of a warm home.  'The royal monastery of our lady's wheel' is a good example of how monks revived early Greeks water heated with charcoal homes (33AD).



Islamic inventors came up with some great ideas prior to the monks discoveries at an earlier period of history. As we know Islamic people have constructed and developed many technical luxuries we comfort today.

Some things outside of central heating which is popular between all beliefs is the knowledge of where warmth of the body is lost during the winter seasons. For example you can't beat a good pair of slippers because you can loose a lot of heat through feet, you loose the most heat through the head, perhaps this is why many of the older religions have various head dresses, as a mechanism for simply keeping the head insulated, like you would insulate your home.

Steam heating in the 19th century was very popular with bankers, one banker commissioned the first steam heated room for growing his Grapes. [Perhaps this is why that film was called Grapes of Wrath] The reason for steam being the popular fuel was congruent with the transport fuel. Trains and cars ran on steam and we still use heated water today in radiators, cars to move the pistons, and long street cleaning guns to remove chewing gum from the pavement.
