What is all-electric?

All-electric means that all the energy used in the home is provided by electricity.
Generally, there is an induction cooker in the kitchen.
A feature of this property is that it uses an electric water heater such as an EcoCute for the bath.

Approximately 70% of newly built detached homes in Kyushu are fully electric!

Comfortable cooking for hot summer days

Because IH cooking heaters do not use fire, the kitchen does not get too hot, and you can cook comfortably by using a fan.

And more! The benefits of all-electric homes

High firepower!

Approximately 90% IH cooking heaters offer excellent thermal efficiency!

The 200V IH cooking heater is high powered and has high heat output.
In addition, it has high thermal efficiency (approximately 90%*) and transfers heat to the pot without waste, allowing you to cook quickly.

Research conducted by the IH Cooking Technology Committee of the Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association (JEMA)
An experiment was conducted in which the water temperature was changed from 20°C to 95°C.
The pot used was a 17cm diameter saucepan (Vita Craft Ultra saucepan). Average values were measured at maximum heat using 3.0kW induction cooktops from three manufacturers.

Energy saving!

With just 1 unit of electricity, you can collect more than 2 units of air heat and generate more than 3 units of thermal energy!

Hot water accounts for approximately 30% of household energy consumption (Source: Agency for Natural Resources and Energy "Energy Trends (June 2025 Edition)"). EcoCute is a system that provides hot water efficiently and economically. When boiling water, EcoCute uses only 1 part electrical energy to 2 parts atmospheric thermal energy, reducing electricity consumption to approximately 1/3 compared to boiling water using only electrical energy.
