  • Boiler

  • Cathode Heater , a coil or filament used to heat the cathode in a vacuum tube or cathode ray tube

  • Central Heating , method of providing warmth from one point to multiple rooms or apartments of a building

  • Convector Heater , a heater which operates by air convection currents circulating through the body of the appliance

  • Dielectric Heating , the phenomenon in which radiowave or microwave electromagnetic radiation heats a dielectric material

  • District Heating , a system for distributing heat generated in a centralized location for residential and commercial heating requirements

  • Fan Heater , a heater that works by using a fan to pass air over a heating element

  • Feedwater Heater , a power plant component used to pre-heat water delivered to the boiler

  • Fireplace , an architectural element consisting of a space designed to contain a fire for heating or cooking

  • Gas Heater , a heater that burns natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas

  • Geothermal Heat Pump , a heat pump that uses the thermal mass of the Earth to regulate indoor temperatures

  • Geothermal Heating a method of heating using geothermal heat

  • Heating Pad , a pad used for warming of parts of the body

  • Hydronics , the use of water as the heat-transfer medium in heating and cooling systems

  • Induction Heating , the process of heating a metal object by electromagnetic induction

  • Radiant Heating , a heating system which heats a building through radiant heat rather than convection or forced-air heating

  • Radiator , a heat exchanger designed to transfer thermal energy from one medium to another for the purpose of cooling and heating

  • Radioisotope Heater Unit , small heaters that provide heat through radioactive decay

  • Salamander Heater , a portable forced-air or convection heater, often kerosene-fueled, used in ventilated areas for worksite comfort

  • Solar Furnace a structure used to harness the sun's rays to produce very high temperatures

  • Solar Heating , the usage of solar energy to provide process, space or water heating

  • Storage Heater , an electrical appliance which stores heat at a time when base load electricity is available at a low price

  • Water Heating , the heating of water for residential, commercial or industrial use
