We have had to do this with one Commune in Montegiorgio in Marche, but it seemed just to be for the excavations and to show system specs. I don't think there was a charge for it. Gala, the link you gave is directing to some Groupon site, as my antivirus blocked it!!

No checks needed on a Geothermal system Steve. 2 filters to clean only, as there is no combustionable material.

Depends on size

It is quite likely that the plumber is correct, certainly if it is a boiler over 35kW. It will also require annual or biennial inspections, mostly concerned with flue gases. I'm not clear on whether a smaller pellet boiler requires the regular inspections - it would seem quite likely that all pellet boilers have been put onto the same footing as gas boiler installations, but the time scale of the implementation of this rule will almost certainly vary between comuni or provincie.

Thank you, Badger. My mistake. The link is www.comunebagnidilucca.it and you have to enter the Rete Civica section.

THanks for that info guys, have spoken to her and apparently all new Central Heating systems (apart from Geothermal, Badger ) have to have the full details submitted to the Comune and they notify some agency, to come and check that the installation has been carried out to 'regulations' which you stump up €200 apparently. Don't you just love Italian laws!!

All new installs of heat

All new installs of heat generation plants using combustable fuel has to be notified to the comune, just take along the relevent page of the Dichiarazione di Conformita. Although any system can be inspected, it is virtualy unknown in most provinces, however, if the heating generator is over 35Kw it requires extra safety equipment installing into the system to conform the the ISPESL regulations and most likely will be inspected indipendantly. Rgds, Steve.

Thats very interesting SteveW. Looks like there will not be many DIY systems installed soon, as you need the certificate, or you need someone like a "HETAS" engineer in the UK to sign it off.
