German term or phrase: Etagenheizungsanlage
Abschnitt aus einem Lebenslauf eines Installateur- und Heizungsbaumeisters:

"Sanierung von Ver- und Entsorgungsanlagen und Bädern im Altbau, Überprüfung und Instandhaltung von *****Gasetagen- und Zentralheizungsanlagen,***** Klempnerarbeiten wie das Zurichten und Montieren von Regenrinnen, Fensterblechen, Gesimsabdeckungen und Regenfallrohren..."

Ich habe bisher "inspection and maintenance of gas ??? and central heating systems" für die fragliche Passage und wundere mich nun, ob es einen festen Ausdruck für Etagenheizungsanlagen gibt. "Floor heating" geht in die falsche Richtung, wenn ich mir die Google hits so anschaue.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etagenheizung
Eine Etagenheizung ist eine Heizungsanlage, bei der die Heizwärmeerzeugung für ein Geschoss bzw. für eine Wohneinheit (bei mehreren Etagen) stattfindet. In der Regel handelt es sich hierbei um eine „Kombitherme“ als Gas-Etagenheizung, die mit Erdgas betrieben wird.

self-contained central heating (for one flat)


Explanation:
self-contained refers to the heating xystem for 1 flat / appartment

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 42 Min. (2009-08-31 19:45:57 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

it is not necessary to mention "for one flat" because the term "self-contained" is self-explanatory, saying that the various appartments on the single floors of a building have their own separate heating system, i.e. a self-contained central heating.
