General information

Short Summary

Full Description
The European Union has approved the abolition of fossil fuel boilers to reduce emissions from 2029. Switching from instantaneous water heaters to storage systems entails a drop in comfort, in particular the limited amount of usable hot water and the large amount of space the tank will occupy within the home. Energy saving will be increasingly pertinent to buyers. The developed solution overcomes all these problems. The Italian developer has studied and created an electric water heater optimising consumption and performance.
