Central heating

In the wake of the Green Homes Directive, the EU is also taking action to introduce a ban on gas boilers from 2029. This is a measure contained in the draft revision of the Ecodesign Regulation 813/2013/EU, which sets the specifications for the ecodesign and marketing of space heating appliances.

Which parts of Europe will suffer most from the lack of gas supplies from Russia?

Italy, much like the rest of Europe, is in for a tough winter. With plans being made to save energy, the Italian government has released details on how heating will be limited this winter in the country.

For many people, a second home in Italy is a way to have a refuge from the colder climates of northern Europe, a place in the sun for the summer or a place to escape the cold winter. But of course winters in Italy are themselves plenty cold and you have to keep you home warm.

Winter is almost here, and the weather is definitely already getting colder. We all know what this means: it's time to turn on the heating. Major Italian cities have just done exactly that, with cities like Milan, Bologna, Venice, and Turin turning on radiators on the 15th of October.

Winter is coming and that mean the fuel bills can start to ramp up. To make sure you don’t pay too much to stay warm in your house when the temperatures drop in Italy, it's important to know how to regulate the heat in your home.
