Condensing boilers, unlike conventional boilers, are able to utilise the heat contained in the steam produced by combustion.
While in conventional boilers this is lost with the flue gases, in condensing boilers it is captured, allowing the combustion flue gases to cool until the steam condenses as water. This releases the latent heat of condensation, which is recovered by the heat exchanger in the boiler to increase its energy efficiency.

The answer to this question depends on many factors that vary greatly with the situation. These factors range, for example, from the local climate to the thermal insulation, and from the number of hours the system operates per day to the size of the radiators in the system. However, to give a practical example of the savings that can be achieved, we can say that an average Italian family living in a city like Bologna or Florence can save up to 35 per cent of their consumption by replacing the boiler with a condensing boiler.

The difference between a condensing boiler and a heat pump lies in how the heat is produced: the boiler, at most, can supply as much heat as the quantity and calorific value of the fuel allows. The heat pump, on the other hand, has no such limits in relation to the energy input. A good heat pump can obtain a lot of ambient heat with little motive power (electricity): up to 5 kWh of thermal energy can be produced from 1 kWh of electrical energy.
The heat pump also does not use fossil fuels and does not emit combustion gases into the environment.
In addition to heating when it is cold, the heat pump is reversible and can be used to cool rooms when it is hot.

Installing a heat pump pays off because:
It can reduce heating bills by up to 50% compared to a condensing boiler
It allows a single unit to provide both heating and cooling
It benefits from three alternative incentives: 50% tax deductions for renovation, 65% tax deductions for energy efficiency, and the heating bill
It does not use fossil fuels and does not generate combustion emissions in the environment

Adding a photovoltaic system is the ideal solution to maximise savings as the heat pump consumes electricity.

A photovoltaic system is able to convert solar energy directly into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. This takes place in photovoltaic cells that allow light radiation to free electrons from semiconductor materials, such as silicon, thereby charging them electrically.

A photovoltaic system offers both environmental and economic benefits. In addition to increasing the efficiency of your home, a photovoltaic system allows you to use sustainable, clean energy to reduce your electricity bills. These systems are subject to tax benefits, have a long lifespan (more than 25 years) and offer greater energy autonomy and enhance property value.

No. There is no direct relationship between the system power and the electricity supply contract. The type of photovoltaic system should be chosen according to the actual energy consumption and the space available to locate the photovoltaic modules.

The 2022 Budget extends the tax bonuses already provided in the previous year, albeit with some changes, regarding both the 110% Superbonus and ordinary deductions.

The 110% Superbonus introduced by Italian Law 77/2020 allows a 110% deduction of expenses incurred for energy requalification work on buildings. The law defines work and expenditure ceilings, as well as the technical energy efficiency requirements needed to obtain the deduction. The works that have to be carried out are defined as “Driving” (thermal insulation and/or replacement of the winter HVAC system) to which a series of “Driven” works can be added, including construction of a photovoltaic system, charging systems for electric vehicles, replacement of windows and doors.

The Budget confirmed the 65% deductions for global upgrading, insulation, solar collectors, replacement of winter HVAC systems with condensing or heat pump systems, and for micro-cogenerators and building automation.

As in the previous year, the 50% Ecobonus can be used for replacement windows and fixtures, solar shading, condensing boilers and winter biomass HVAC systems.

The 50% IRPEF deduction for building renovation work remains valid with an expenditure limit of € 96,000.

The extension of the Sismabonus until 31 December 2024 is confirmed for work on buildings damaged by seismic events or for work aimed at reducing seismic risk.

The facade bonus for apartment blocks has been reduced to 60% of deductible expenses compared to the previous year, which allowed a 90% deduction.

The Budget also confirmed the possibility of invoice discount and credit assignment until 31/12/2024 for the following works:

• Recovery of built heritage;
• Energy efficiency;
• Installation of photovoltaic systems;
• Anti-seismic measures;
• Work to overcome or eliminate architectural barriers.

The 2022 Budget also confirmed expiry of the Renovation Bonus on 31 December 2024, which offers a 50% tax deduction for expenses incurred on building renovation work - governed by Article 16-bis of Italian Presidential Decree 917/86. The maximum expenditure limit remains at € 96,000.

LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are electrical components that convert electricity into light. The LEDs also degrade far less than conventional bulbs. This is why LEDs provide better light quality and longer life.

LEDs consume far less energy than conventional systems. In general, LED lighting consumes an estimated 30% to 60% less energy than conventional lighting.

The average life of this type of appliance is generally around 80,000 hours. Constant improvements as the technology matures are bringing the average lifetime up to 100,000 hours and more, thus ensuring a vastly longer life compared to conventional systems.
