original
The use of electric heating started in the 1910's and the oldest record of its usage is the leased-service electrothermic equipment of Kyoto Electric Company. A city-wide supply system for electric home heating was put into service and its use has expanded in the 1920s but the user-base remained quite low. The spread of electronic goods besides clothes iron and radio had generally fallen behind in pre-war Japan but it seems that the reason behind the delayed adoption of electric power as heat source is the utilization cost. There are other major energy sources such as agricultural waste and coal. Coal's heat insulation property is quite weak but very cheap and it is produced and utilized in limited regions.
