Neither of those are central heating.
I mean, I use one evaporator to condition the air on the first floor of my home. I get what you're saying, but a one bedroom apartment could be served by two PTACs.
Perhaps I've lost the thread of this conversation though.
Right, but "central heating" means that the heat is generated in one location then distributed to all other rooms via forced air or steam.
PATCs aren't a form of central heating
