Central Heating is the second album by funk-disco band Heatwave, released in 1977 on the GTO label in the UK and in '78 on the Epic label in the US. It was produced by Barry Blue.
It was the last Heatwave album to feature bassist Mario Mantese and guitarist Eric Johns, as well as the first to feature new member Roy Carter on guitar. The album was also the final performance of Rod Temperton as an official member of Heatwave, although he would continue to write songs for the band after his departure.
The album was remastered and reissued with bonus tracks in 2015 by Big Break Records.
All tracks written by Rod Temperton, except where noted.
