| Concrete way | Advantage | Disadvantage |
| Heating by coal-fired boiler | Energy-conservation, economy, higher environmental protection benefit | Big investment, long construction period, accident happen easily and high management cost |
| Heating by coal-fired boiler (central Heating by boiler) | Energy-conservation, good environmental protection and operational efficiency, small investment, short construction period. | Disperse and small-scale coal-burning boiler thermal efficiency low, dispel smoke and dust to be result bad |
| Heating by oil (gas) boiler (Heating water system) | Clean, environmental protection, regulate flexibly, energy-conservation, install simply, easy to operate | High operation cost than coal-fired boiler |
| Wind system of gas heating | Clean, environmental protection, regulate flexibly, energy-conservation, install simply, easy to operate | High operation cost than coal-fired boiler |
| Air source heat pump | It is high in efficiency to make heat | Heat efficiency drop with decline of outdoor temperature, or apt district to marry frost unsuitable to use in severe cold |
| Water source heat pump | Water hot capacity is large Refrigeration efficiency (COP) of the general water source heat pump Higher than the air source heat pump | Restricted by source of water |
| Ground source heat pump | Economy, effective, energy-conservation, environmental protection | The investment higher for the first time, May influence the environment |
