We have a holiday home and our gas supply is fed into the house from a bombolone which we share with the neighbours - there are two separate meters on the bombolone.
Hi everyone,I wonder if anyone can help with a question;we have a small holiday home close to Terni and a few weeks following the terrible earthquake in Aquila we managed to spend a week or so there and noticed a small crack
The house we own has gas central heating, I.e. traditional boiler and radiators, it was already installed when we bought the house. Some people keep saying that gas is too expensive for heating (and I agree, believe me!) and other are saying that there are alternatives that run on a fraction of the price. Can somone elaborate on what these alternatives are and how easy it is (or not as the case may be) to switch from traditional gas central heating to one of the alternatives. I agree that gas is extrmely expensive. When we visit for a week at New Year and we put the heating on the cost runs into the hundreds of euros but we have no alternative, as we are there only occassionally the house gets really cold during the winter months and we have to put the heating on.
Hi,Garda is correct, Intasure provide earthquake cover and in fact that is who we are with. Can't remember the exact cost of premiums but it isn't that expensive really, although the excess in terms of a large claim would be quite large - kind of hoping it never comes to that though ;-)
