central heating system
Depending on how you phrase your sentence, you may be able to get away with "central heating" alone, wiht no additional noun.
If yu feel you must have a noun, "system" and "installation" are generic enough.
If the reference is to the actual, physical installation, "plant" is the most commonly used term for a big installation (big enough for a hospital). "Unit" may be taken by some readers to imply a smaller installation.
