Appears there is a virus originally found earlier this year, that many AV companies and firewalls have had problems stopping. Zonealarm free firewall does not stop it, although the full version now does.

This looks like another new tax that has just been introduced here. On each prescription item, you have to pay 21 cents, even if the medication previously was free.

Does anybody have any recipes for cooking black truffles. We had one today, cooked in an omelette in the French style, but would like to know if anyone has used them with pork, as still have another 2 to use up before they go off.

Concerning 40% rebate I will study deeper the matter, but so far it seems to be a proposal not yet into force. Government is now checking if there are enough funds to cover it, cross fingers. It may well be that the 55% willl be discontinued at the end of this year and replaced by this other option. As soon as I hear more then I will update on here.
Yes, Pat H. We have a number of installations purely on radiator systems.
Not sure about that, but I have sent a email to the office to get some better clarification of the this new law. The 55% covered so much, for a change to a geothermal system, with plumbers bills, electrician, excavation, included in the reclaim. We have quite a few people that have taken advantage of that scheme. As I read this one, it just seems to cover the system equipment cost. Will update as soon as I hear more
@ Brianm. What I meant was that the heater in a ½ûÂþÌìÌà machine is probably lower than a UK one, so it may take the washing machine longer to get to temp!!
Thought to look up a bit on your system Ken2, it was interesting with the figures you quoted to a UK house. Will be very interested to know the winter results. Have linked to one from a UK site from a case study, no house size given, although it is from the suppliers website, so not always reliable!
There could be 2 chains of thought over this. 1 You go for the 40% just for the energy efficient heating and that does include geothermal systems as well with the payback over 2 years on the system alone. 2 You go for the 55% payback over the 5 years, but get the added benefits of the house upgrade costs deducted as well i.e. double glazing, loft insulation etc to meet the required standards.
Has been the case for many years Penny, but only for residents who pay tax here. Only existing buildings can benefit of 55% tax deduction, no benefit for new buildings/houses. Buildings have therefore to be registered by local "Catasto". This benefit is granted for all works inproving thermal and energetic consumption of the house, the complete list of works is available on Enea website, . Amount granted are: -euro 100.000 for lowering energetic need of the building (new heating or conditioning system) (that is 55% of Euro 181.818,18); -euro 60.000 for house insultion, windows including shutters, roof, etc (that is 55% of Euro 109.090,90); -euro 60.000 for solar panels (that is 55% of Euro 109.090,90); -euro 30.000 for winter climatisation systems (that is 55% of Euro 54.545,45). When all works are finished, a qualified engineer has to certify that all works are complying with requirements, and can fill in Form E of "Decreto del Ministro dell'Economia e delle Finanze del 19/02/2007" and sent it to Enea by internet. Other documents are to be kept by (client) for eventual inspection of Ministero delle Finanze: -copy of all payments made by bank transfer, indicating: invoice number, codice fiscale of client and Partita IVA of client: "Pagamento fattura nr.XX del XX/XX/2009, beneficiario detrazione 55% (company), beneficiario pagamento Company." -receipt of Form E sent to Enea by internet; -certification made by engineer that all works are made in the right way; all invoices related to the works;  Latest Enea updates here: --
No problem at all, just change the plugs. Washing machine may take longer to heat up though!!
Try the electrical shop just opposite the garage in Amandola, on the road to the hospital and also the ferramenta just below him. One of those should be able to help you out with what you need, or tell you where to get the required.Â
Normally is at least a year, but you could check with a moisture meter. Sagraiasolar would probably be able to advise you better on that subject.
