There are individual heating, in which a stove or other heating device is placed inside each room to be heated, and central heating, in which a heat medium heated by a boiler or heat pump is distributed to multiple rooms.

Individual heating has been used since ancient times, and in Japan, braziers, kotatsu, and irori have been widely used, while in European countries, stoves and fireplaces have been widely used. *Some of the terminology that refers to "individual heating" is listed below.
