What could be better than coming home after a day out and about in the cold winter and typically find that warmth and the warmth that lose out in life? By now the cold is coming and heating their home is a thought for everyone, also accompanied by an attempt to save it as much as possible. There are several solutions and a few tricks against the cold in a statement. You can start saving on home heating primarily by reducing heat losses that most affect fuel consumption.

In addition to be checked and, if necessary replace the old boiler, set the thermostat to the right temperature, you need to think isolation. This is the most important feature to maintain a warm in winter and cool in summer. To save must therefore ensure that you have the right level of insulation starting from the attic to the interior walls.

The technique of the outer insulation to reduce the amount of heat exchanged with the outside of the building, the building consists in winding completely into the insulation. In this way, unlike what happens in the case of internal isolation, is not reduced the internal surface of the building. External insulation for the vertical walls, it is said insulation. When it is applied to covers, roofs distinguish hot showers and depending on that the waterproofing is located above and below or just below the insulation.

The decree of liberalization of the electricity market (the so-called "Bersani Decree"), dated February 19, 1999, marked the beginning of the opening of the Italian electricity market in application of the European Directive EC 96/92. With the full liberalization of the electricity market for all customers with a VAT has opened a new phase for the Italian electricity consumers.

A liberalized market is based on three conditions:

 a free application to choose,

 competitive bid,

 a network access granted to a level playing field between operators.

Potentially, as many times as you want. And is the new operator to take care of to close your previous contract, just a minimum notice

You can always change electricity supplier. It is in fact no limit in this direction. And you can always return to the conditions laid down by the Authority for Electricity and Gas (AEEG).

To join a new offer for the supply of electricity is sufficient to conclude the contract with the supplier of your choice. Which will then take care of the steps required to withdraw from the contract in place. The new electricity supplier, in fact, address the request for withdrawal to the old supplier. AEEG explains that it is not necessary to perform any work on the plant and on the counters, because change is the only commercial and administrative management of the supply. The distribution company, which operates the local electricity grid remains the same even if you choose to change electricity supplier, adds AEEG. And to the end customer must be ensured the continuity and security of the service.

The transition to the free market is automatic when you register for an offer for the supply of electricity proposed by a company different from the company operating the most protection. The enhanced protection service is the service provided to contractual and economic conditions established by the AEEG (Italian Authority for Electricity and Gas). Switch to subscribe to the free market, therefore, means a deal marketed by online companies that compete with each other.

Each consumer is free to decide from which seller and on what terms to purchase electricity for the needs of their own homes.

From the meters to the app, the digital tools help monitor their consumption at home and at work, with savings of 15% of energy bills a year.

How can I control energy consumption and regulate me to save? According to an American study, have the ability to monitor and then possibly adjust their consumption of energy reduces the demand to the point of being able to avoid the construction of new plants. The project - which lasted a year - is the U.S. Department of Energy, and was conducted by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. It was established that the digital equipment for the control of consumption can cut your bills by 15% per year. Translated, this means that in 20 years it would save 70 billion of spending on new power plants and infrastructure, avoiding emissions and costs equivalent to 30 large coal-fired plants.

With the liberalization of the electricity market, the consumer is often confused in choosing a supplier of Energy. We often wonder: "What will be the manager that best suits my needs?" "I will have made the best choice?" "How can I save energy?". An answer to these questions was offered by the Authority for Electricity and Gas which has decided to help the consumer by creating a special website. Entering simple data (which is traceable in the bill), you can figure out which is the offer of the various energy companies more responsive to our needs. In this way the energy Authority ensures not only the ability to make the best choices, but also transparency and consumer decisions informed and aware.

A family of four can meet in a year at least two-thirds of its hot water needs installing on the roof about 4 square meters of solar thermal panels. Solar thermal systems, due to technological developments, today extremely durable, resistant and reliable and help to increase the value of the property. The savings, as well as depend on the climatic conditions of the place, is related to the cost of replaced energy and varies according to the source of energy used (electricity, natural gas, oil, coal) and the price of fuel. 

On average, a typical family, the payback period would be approximately 5-10 years maintenance included, what this allows, after that period, to go active with respect to the energy bill that would have paid if we had a facility traditional type. It is expected that with the passage of time these days to wait for the recovery of the initial investment come down dramatically as the cost of "traditional" is expected to steadily increasing and the technologies for solar power in decline thanks to the expansion of the market itself and the adoption of economies of scale by producers.

In any case, the return time (pay-back time) drop significantly if you design the solar thermal system in the process of constructing the building. 

The tiled stove is a special type of stove built usually tiled and refractory material which, like all the stoves, heated by radiation and works in woody biomass.

Internally consists of three major structures: the combustion chamber where the wood is placed and where the combustion takes place, the volume of which is directly proportional to the thermal power of the same; variable section consisting of a coil always in refractory material through which smoke passes resulting from the combustion, a coating majolica tiles.

The smoke enters the coil with a temperature of about 600 ° to get out at a temperature of about 150 ° -120 °. The coil can have two types of development:
