Local considerations in Italy

Hot, dry summers put heavy load on cooling systems, so HVAC and refrigeration are serviced before the hot months.
The wetter winter months bring most roof, gutter and drain calls, so these are inspected in the fall.
Work is scheduled around trading hours, building rules and landlord requirements at each site.

Licensed and insured local providers

Regulated trades in Italy are assigned only to providers who hold the licenses or registrations the work requires there, and every provider carries the insurance the program sets.
