Italy seasonal heating regulations

Overview

Italy’s heating regulations for the 2026-2027 winter season are governed by national guidelines, specifically DPR n. 74 of 2013, which categorize the country into climatic zones (A through F) to determine permitted heating dates and daily usage limits.

In Zone E, which includes northern cities such as Milan, Turin, and Venice, heating is permitted from October 15 to April 15 for a maximum of 14 hours per day. Temperature limits are also established, capping heating at 20°C for most buildings and 18°C for industrial or artisanal structures. Zone D, covering cities like Rome and Florence, allows heating from November 1 to April 15 for up to 12 hours daily.

Warmer regions in Zone C (Naples, Bari) may use heating from November 15 for 10 hours daily, while Zone B (coastal Sicily, Calabria, Sardinia) and Zone A (Lampedusa) have later start dates and shorter daily limits. Mountain municipalities in Zone F face no specific national restrictions on periods or hours. Local mayors maintain the authority to adjust these regulations based on regional requirements.
