What Effe-Tech does

Effe-Tech s.r.l. is an Italian heating, air conditioning, and thermal-systems company headquartered in Calderara di Reno (Bologna), Italy, founded in 1973 by Angelo Fariselli and now managed by second-generation family members Chiara Fariselli (CEO) and Lauro Fariselli (President/Commercial Director). The company designs, sells, installs, and maintains traditional and renewable thermal systems for residential, commercial, industrial, and public-sector customers across Bologna and surrounding province.

Its core offering combines equipment sales of partner-branded technologies (Hoval condensation boilers, heat pumps, hybrid systems, solar thermal, ventilation, and biomass; Biral circulation pumps) with installation, scheduled maintenance, technical assistance, and a regulated Terzo Responsabile compliance service for thermal systems over 35 kW under Italian law DPR 74/2013. Differentiated technical capabilities include integrated Hoval-Biral system design, hybrid heat-pump-plus-boiler automation, and photovoltaic-coupled heat pump configurations for near-energy-autonomous buildings. Certifications include UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 (issued 29-07-2024), F-GAS refrigerant handling (07-11-2025), and Terzo Responsabile qualification under DPR 74/2013 and DM 37/2008.

The business model is direct, sales-led, and quote-based. Revenue is generated through hardware sales, professional installation, recurring maintenance contracts, and managed regulatory services. The company reaches customers via phone, email, website contact forms, and field-based on-site assessments; no intermediaries or resellers are used. Service scope is concentrated in Bologna and province, with no public pricing and engagement-by-engagement commercial terms determined after technical evaluation.
