Tankless water heaters are the latest innovation for domestic hot water generation. The principle is simple; make water hot when you need it, on demand. The demand occurs when someone opens the hot water faucet on a plumbing fixture and expects to feel hot water coming out of the faucet. As the water flows through the tankless heater, it is heated and the user gets exactly what was asked for, namely, hot water. No storage of hot water, no waiting for hot water to run through the piping to the faucet and no waste of water and energy. Sounds like a tankless water heater is the best thing to ever happen doesn't it?So why hasn't everyone installed a tankless water heater? Well, the truth is that there are several hidden costs that don't seem to be discussed openly until you know the right questions to ask. Yes, you can go to the big-box hardware stores and talk with the sales associate (although I am not sure how that will help you) or talk to your plumber about these systems, but what they fail to tell you is the hidden costs. Costs that are not discussed, or worse, costs that are totally unknown. Generating hot water instantly takes a lot of energy, but is much better than storing it...more

The current economy has seen a huge drop in the number of roles available to job-seekers. As a result, more people are staying within their current roles. But, what is going to happen when the number of roles available does increase? The answer is massive loss of talent for some organisations. The loss of key people will not make things any easier for organisations. Which is why NOW is the time to start thinking about when the economy picks up and how this will affect your business. Those organisations who have maintained, or even improved, levels of motivation and engagement recently will be the winners in the employment battle. These organisations will keep hold of the people that make their business what it is, who strive to perform to their highest ability and who generate large amounts of revenue for their employer. They will also build reputation to attract the highest level of talent into their organisation and away from their competitors. They will emerge strongest from the economic downturn with heads held high and workplaces seeping over with high potential and talented individuals. Those who have disengaged their employees through the...more
