Scotland's Census 2022 - UV407 - Central heating

This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for type of central heating in the unit of occupied households in Scotland.

Central heating type in household

Type of central heating in the household.

A household’s accommodation is classified as having central heating if it is present in some or all rooms (whether used or not). Central heating is classified by type, as shown in the classification table. Other central heating includes solar, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or other bottled gas.

This variable is derived from the question on the household form:

Household question 10: What type of central heating does this accommodation have?

  • No central heating
  • Mains gas
  • Other gas (including liquid petroleum gas and biogas)
  • Electric (including storage heating)
  • Oil
  • Solid fuel (excluding wood)
  • Wood or biomass (logs, pellets, chippings)
  • Other renewable energy source (including electric and air heat pump systems)
  • District or communal heat system
