Tax incentives for the purchase of heating systems and IP cameras connected to safety: these are the latest technology hidden in the folds of the Stability Law approved yesterday by the government. Important news about the environment and the safety of people, two distinct measures outlined in paragraphs 88 and 982 of the Stability Law. While waiting for the final text, yet to be published, the bill specifies that the “ tax deductions to which [..] shall also apply to expenses incurred for the purchase, installation and commissioning of devices for multimedia the remote control of heating or hot water or air conditioning of residential units, designed to increase awareness of energy consumption by users and to ensure efficient operation of the plant. “
Despite the abuse of the term “multimedia” , which has very little to do with a smart control system, intelligent heating systems such as Honeywell (our test here), Netatmo , Tado and Nest (but in Italy there is still) should fall then in the incentives along with the boilers equipped with remote control . They should be eligible for the tax breaks these devices will have “ show through multimedia channels energy consumption, by providing periodic data; show the operating conditions of current and the control temperature of the installations and allow power on and off, and the weekly programming of the installations remotely. “All things, these, that most of the products smart already do: you can control the temperature from a smartphone, turn on and off the heating remotely and also wanting to monitor consumption and possible savings .
Anche if they are not clear about the ways of using the incentive and what will be the models that will be eligible to receive the bonus, the deduction is the same as for the energy efficiency measures of buildings and was set at 65% in ten years . Who will spend then, just as an example, 100 Euros to buy a thermostat connected to the latest generation of recover EUR 6.5 annually for 10 years less taxes to pay . After 10 years 65% of the thermostat will have paid the state; but it is clear that the benefits of a smart thermostat go far beyond this bonus : saving on energy expenditure, for a family, it is really important if the product is used well, as we have demonstrated in our test.
Oltre bonus “echo” There will also be bonuses security “ to the costs incurred by individuals not in the exercise of self-employed or company for the installation of digital video surveillance systems and alarm, as well as for those related to contracts with security firms, aimed at prevention of criminal activities “. The government will provide 15 million Euros for the year 2016 to buy alarm systems, IP cameras and security systems smart provided that related to a strictly personal use , even though the modalities for the disbursement of this bonus has not yet been established and is expected within 90 days of a decree of the Minister of Economy and Finance.
