heating

A central heating system provides warmth to a number of spaces within a building from one main source of heat. It is a component of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (short: HVAC) systems, which can both cool and warm interior spaces.
A central heating system has a furnace that converts fuel or electricity to heat. The heat is circulated through the building either by fans forcing heated air through ducts, circulation of low-pressure steam to radiators in each heated room, or pumps that circulate hot water through room radiators. Primary energy sources may be fuels like coal or wood, oil, kerosene, natural gas, or electricity.
Compared with systems such as fireplaces and wood stoves, a central heating plant offers improved uniformity of temperature control over a building, usually including automatic control of the furnace. Large homes or buildings may be divided into individually controllable zones with their own temperature controls. Automatic fuel (and sometimes ash) handling provides improved convenience over separate fireplaces. Where a system includes ducts for air circulation, central air conditioning can be added to the system. A central heating system may take up considerable space in a home or other building, and may require supply and return ductwork to be installed at the time of construction.

    Battery heating on the MG5

    Hi all, I've done a search for this on the MG forum and there are a lot of replies, mostly in the MG4 and ZS forums. Does anyone have a definitive 'how and when to use it' procedure or information as the days are starting to get colder? Thanks in advance.

    Battery Heating Always on?

    Today was the first day that temperatures dropped to about 2 degrees in the morning. I've been noticing the expected range drop off a lot as the winter approached. Going from the 400+km in Summer to now being in the 300+km bracket. On the school run this morning, I thought to turn on the...

    ZS EV (2020) heating issue

    I think we have an issue with the heating in our 2020 ZS EV. It appears that the heating is either on or off. When we get in the car on a cold morning, we put the heating on. When it gets warm enough, we turn the heat down. The heat control has 'blobs' on the infotainment screen that run...

    MG5 LR- Heating Parked Up

    Waiting at a hospital car park last night, put heating on.After 20 mins barely any warmth.Then saw 12V showing on dash. So in instances like this, how do you get heat into the cab and if you do is the duration limited by the cab battery. Thank you

    MG4 Intelligent battery heating on SE?

    Hi, I've been playing with a few settings on my MG4 SE and have seen the intelligent battery heating option. It can be turned on and off. In my previous model 3 this made a big difference to charging times and it worked if you navigated to a supercharger. My question is, can this be...

    Pre heating the battery?

    Hi all Just watched the latest Rev Matchers video on youtube, and he talked about the fact he hadn’t pre heated the battery, but as it was only 8c, that he should have. So is pre heating a thing? And if so at what temperature ? And How?

    Using demisters without heating

    Wanted to check if there is a way to use the front demistifier without turning the heating on? The reason I ask is the rear demistifier can be used on its own without the heating turned on. I assume it uses the 12V battery for the operation as I do not see the change in range when its turned on...

    Battery Heating

    Maybe a silly question but I can’t find the answer in the manual. What is the battery heating function for and when is it used? Thanks from a newbie EV owner.

    How do you turn off the heating

    This is probably dead easy and I'm just being daft...but the manual isn't really clear. How do you turn off the heating and AC so it's not drawing power, but leave the fan on and not have the air recirculating. When I press the power button to turn it off, it switches to recirculation mode and...

    No heating

    Hi, hope everyone had a great Christmas! Drove across the country to visit relations today. 100% charge before I set off, but no heating on any setting at all. Which was a bit chilly as it's only 3degC outside! Got here safe, and hoping it'll miraculously sort itself before the return trip...

A few questions: 1) Ignoring the GOM, what’s the impact of having the heater on in the present weather on the total range if driving from charged to empty? 2) If I go to the car while it is plugged on the granny charger to preheat, can I make it so...

    Heating capacity only seems to be 3kw

    Hi, I was wondering if people could post the voltage/amps at rest with heating turned off and then with heating on at max. I'm only getting 3kw and it really is struggling to get the cabin warm. I am wondering if I am missing a "bar" on the heater. I got the car in March but only had a few...
