In Brazil, central heating systems are less common than in the United States due to the tropical and subtropical climate. When present, they are typically found in luxury apartments in cooler regions like São Paulo's higher elevations or in commercial buildings. In Portugal and cooler regions of Brazil, heating systems are more prevalent during winter months.
