> Almost 40% of homes have electric heating and that's the top heating type
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).
