The scope of this paper was to determine if the efficiency of a heating system depends on the surface area of a household and to identify the surface intervals for which a heating system is most appropriate than others. There were considered nine alternatives for the analysis: five different heating sources (wood boiler, electric boiler, gas boiler, pellet boiler and electric heating carpet) combined with two different heating terminals (radiant floor heating and the classic radiator), which were evaluated based on initial investment, fuel cost and the total annual expenditure for each heating system. The results indicated that the type of heating system for a household might vary depending on its surface, considering the three comparison factors mentioned before.
