We rented a house outside of Lucca that used gas/gas-oil a couple of years ago and when we received our first gas bill it was 600 eu. on top of our rent. Â We couldn't believe it. Â It was an older heating system in the house so we immediately put in a pellet stove to heat the house. Â We thought there had to be a mistake as well or a leak but then my husband went out to look at the meter and it just kept running and running. Â Once we turned the heaters off and started using the pellet stove to heat the house we had a very low bill for just the hot water. Â Europeans naturally keep their homes cooler and they are less insulated. Â The homes are harder to heat. Â I had to try and explain this to visitors all the time because they always complained it was too cold even in hotel rooms.
