A centralized warm air heating system is described for heating a building having a crawl space beneath the floor which forms a return plenum spaced joists supporting the floor and spaced girders supporting the joists. The system consists of: first panels extending between two of the spaced girders to form a manifold conduit between the spaced girders; second panels extending between at least two of the spaced joists to form distribution conduits between the spaced joists, the manifold conduit and the distribution conduits being in communication for airflow therebetween; at least one inlet from the crawl space beneath the floor into the manifold conduit; outlets from the distribution conduits to the building through the floor; return vents through the floor from the building to the crawl space beneath the floor; blower means to force air from the inlet to the outlets; and a heat exchange coil positioned across the manifold conduit.
