'what central heating problem brings?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'what central heating problem' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'central' could be 'c' (common abbreviation in various government acronyms) and 'c' is found in the answer.
'problem' could be 'ill' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ill' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'h' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
