Di Whether you have just bought or rented your new place, home insurance is one of those quiet but essential steps that lets you settle in with peace of mind. Boilers break down, pipes leak, appliances stop working: a good policy means you can pick up the phone and have it sorted, without chasing technicians in a language you may still be learning.
Selectra works with Iren, one of the largest energy and services providers in Italy, to give English-speaking residents access to home insurance and boiler cover with simple monthly billing through an Italian IBAN. Our English-speaking advisors handle the activation for you over the phone.
Need help setting up home insurance or boiler cover in Italy? Call our English-speaking Selectra team on 06 9480 8089 or request a free callback. Foreign IBANs accepted.

Iren's boiler breakdown cover and maintenance
Under current Italian regulations, residential boilers must be inspected at least every two years to keep them running efficiently, avoid energy waste and prevent dangerous fume leaks. Selectra can activate Iren's boiler maintenance plan for you so the certified visits happen on time, without you having to chase a technician yourself.
Two formulas are available, both billed monthly on an Italian IBAN:
| Plan | What is included |
|---|---|
| Boiler Maintenance | One certified technical check-up per year, in line with Italian regulations. |
| Boiler Maintenance PLUS | Two certified technical check-ups per year for households that use their boiler intensively. |
Both plans include the visit of a certified technician, a written safety report and a reminder when the next inspection is due. Ask our English-speaking advisors for the current monthly fee on an Italian IBAN. If something goes wrong between visits, you can also add the CASA H24 All Inclusive plan above for full 24/7 coverage.
