It's 40% of households not homes, and per your link it's 55% of rentals.
That's the urban flats I mentioned, they use inefficient resistive heating because that's cheap to install (no plumbing and no vents, just the electrician adding a circuit per radiator from the box).

- masklinn 7mo ago> So, leaving aside your nitpicking about households vs homes (which are synonymous here) The mistranslation gives the incorrect impression that owners have migrated their personal residences to resistive heating and that this is the normal heating method for the country. Landlords cheaping out on heating is a completely different situation, and does not support your assertion. Especially with (again per your link) renters are significantly less satisfied with their heating situation than owners. > you agree with me then No.
