  3. Inspection of AC devices and boilers Regular inspection of boilers is covered by several regulations Slovenia decided that, instead of the one-off inspection of heating installations, the alternative option (option b) will be applied byprovision of advice to owners on replacement of boilers and modifications of heating systems. The option is based on the activities of the national energy advisory network (ENSVET; the information and awarenessraising programs of the ministry and on financial incentives forthe replacement of boilers and the implementation of other energyefficiency measures available at the national Eco Fund.

  4. Inspection of boilers regular inspection of boilers has already a long tradition in the existing scheme operated by chimney sweepers scheme covered by Decree on the procedure,topic and conditions for the execution of obligatory state economy public services of performing measurements, inspection and cleaning of boilers, chimney ducts, and ventilation ducts, aiming at the protection of the environment and efficient use of energy (Official Journal, No. 105-5223/2007) 194 chimney sweeper regions (municipalities 2006) 4
