To provide a circulation and heating apparatus that rapidly warms a heating panel where a person is present, while preserving comfort as much as possible even if the person moves to another heating panel. The circulation and heating apparatus (1) comprises a pump (5) that circulates water, a heat source (2) that heats water to be fed by the pump (5), a plurality of heating panels (6) through which water that has been heated by the heat source (2) is circulated, and a human body detection means that detects whether or not a person is present on the plurality of heating panels (6). Water is supplied to either a heating panel (6) where the presence of a person has been detected by the human body detection means, or to the other heating panels (6) other than the heating panel (6) where the presence of a person has been detected by the human body detection means. The amount of water supplied to the heating panel (6) where the presence of a person has been detected by the human body detection means is greater than the amount of water supplied to the other heating panels (6) other than the heating panel (6) where the presence of a person has been detected by the human body detection means.
