  Those 'Urban Explorer' videos (at least the ones I have watched) never really focus on the heating systems and I rarely see the basements or a boiler.

  To be fair pretty much nobody even thinks about a heating system until it stops working 😥 an entire industry that changed the course of history and the history books even ignore it.
