As Japan's heated home, if there is no central heating in the country?

Japan is one of the countries where there is no central heating (except the coldest part of Hokkaido Prefecture). Each Japanese apartment or house are heated by "their own".

Most Japanese have installed air conditioning (electric, oil, kerosene) and boilers with gas and electricity. Generally, street gas cylinders on the walls meet here often enough, causing panic among residents of Russia.

Many boilers and air conditioners are equipped with automatic counters. When the Japanese goes to work - the heating is switched off, before the advent of switched automatically to the owner did not go into the icy shelter.

Japanese always sleep in their pajamas (it is not surprising that the cult of pajamas in the style of anime cartoons and children came from there), often under electric blankets. The toilets and baths heating is not at all. Therefore, it is the Japanese invented the toilet with heating and remote control switching in advance.
In the country there is a special table "kotatsu" - with heating under cover countertops and a common blanket, where he spent time cold evenings the whole family.

In general, it is not surprising that Japan is ahead of the rest on the improvement of various equipment. The emergence of dishwashers and washing machines with water heating function, the above toilets, warm floors and electric carpets - all this came to us from this country because of the specificity of life in Japan. Savings, minimalism and lack of heat played a considerable role.

Frankly, I had my way, in my apartment, I would have been able to save money and supplies. Heating two-bedroom apartment of 60 square meters. m. cost about 3-7 million (depending on the region). In our apartment building engineering systems, rather than central heating (Heated themselves at the expense of electricity or hot water), the savings in money is half the amount in comparison with the adjacent house.

My parents live in a private home, they also have their own engineering systems and underfloor heating, 200 squares of electricity consumption per month for all-all-all is not more than 7000. Maybe we should give up the central heating and go to the individual?
