Also see this report by the Scottish government:

"The Executive is to accelerate its free central heating scheme and extend it to provide more people with whole-house heating systems.
[...]
As a result of this, we will be able in years four and five of the scheme to upgrade houses with only partial central heating to whole-house heating systems. In taking forward this work, I will ask local authorities to give priority to elderly and disabled households." (Cf. http://www.scotland.gov.uk/News/Releases/2001/09/254 .)

central heating system


Explanation:
I would assume..., or central HVAC might work, but if it only refers to the heating portion, then "heating system" would probably be your safest bet.

Reference: Not quite the same as central heating

Reference information:
If you Google Ganzhausheizung, almost all the results talk about Kachelofen-Ganzhausheizung, with definitions like this:

Die Ganzhausheizung ist das Non plus Ultra für alle, die ganzjährig auf regenerative Energieerzeugung setzen. Man nehme einen Kachelofen mit Heizkessel, eine Solaranlage und eine intelligente Speichereinheit - und fertig ist die Ganzhausheizung. Zum einen versorgt der Kachelofen seine nähere Umgebung mit wohltuender Strahlungswärme, zum anderen kann über den Wasserkessel heißes Wasser in entfernte Räume gebracht werden, beispielsweise in eine Wandflächenheizung.

Renewable energies feature prominantly too, so it's not the same as your common-or-garden central heating.
