Imagine having and endless supply of hot showers while at the same time saving money and helping the environment. Sound impossible? Not when you consider the fact that the amount of energy wasted in North America each year to simply keep a tank of hot water permanently on standby and ready for our use (even while we sleep)is enough energy to power a small third world nation. Why are we spending our hard-earned dollars to consume fossil fuels in our sleep to heat a tank of hot water that we will never use?

Tankless water heaters only consume energy when you use hot water and instantly heat your water when you turn on the tap. Tankless water heater technology has been a proven solution for over 25 years in Europe and japan and is just now exploding in demand across North America as homeowners wake up to the benefits of tankless hot water heaters. Let's review some of their benefits:

ENDLESS hot WATER supply
No more cold showers! As long as you've selected the correct flow rate model for your home you no longer need to worry about running out of hot water in the shower - even if your teenagers are showering in the other bathroom while your dishwasher and washing machine are on.

SAVE ON heating costs
The reduced energy consumption of tankless water heaters compared to tank-style water heaters will translate into savings and money in your wallet. The amount you save will vary from household to household and will depend on your water usage patterns and climate. The average homeowner will usually see savings of 15% - 25%, while households that have smaller hot water demands may see savings of up to 48%.

GET PAID TO SWITCH
under the Energy Tax Incentives act you can qualify for a $300 Federal rebate by switching your hot water tank to a tankless water heater unit. act now before these incentives expire!

REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION
A tankless water heater only consumes energy when you are using hot water. It instantly heats the hot water supply to the required temperature "on demand" and does not waste energy maintaining a large tank of hot water 24 hours a day.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLIER
Switching to a tankless water heater will help the environment in 3 ways. Going tankless will reduce the amount of fossil fuels you consume to heat your household water. Secondly, as tankless heaters are typically smaller units than traditional hot water tanks, they require less metal and help reduce the global demand for mining and metal consumption. Thirdly, tankless heaters last 2 - 3 times longer than traditional hot water tanks and will further reduce the demand for metal inputs and lower landfill waste levels.

SPACE SAVING
As an added bonus you will gain storage space in your house due to the simple fact that tankless water heaters are much smaller in size that traditional hot water heaters and can be installed more conveniently in a wide range of locations.

There is a lot to be gained by switching from tank to tankless water heaters, and demand is growing. Why not learn more about tankless heaters and see if they are right for your home. If you act soon, you can still get in on the rebate and get the government to pay you to switch!

A wireless microphone system includes a minimum of two or three components:

1.The transmitter: Available in a self-contained handheld mic or as a belt pack with a lavalier or headworn mic, this device is a small radio (RF) transmitter. Transmitters can be fixed or variable in frequency.

2.The receiver: The receiver takes the signal from the transmitter and outputs audio to your sound system. Receivers can also be fixed or variable in frequency. It's important to note that most wireless systems can be identified by the model number and frequency band that are on the back of the receiver.

3.The microphone: Wireless handheld transmitters are self-contained. Belt pack transmitters use an external, very small microphone element which is inconspicuous. Microphones are available from Countryman and other manufacturers to replace and upgrade your existing systems. Headworn and lightweight Earset microphones are also available for the ultimate in sonic fidelity and comfort.

A wireless microphone system may also contain the following components:

1. An antenna distribution system:
When multiple wireless systems are used, it's common to have an antenna distribution system that feeds all of the receivers from one set of antennas. It's typical for these systems also to feature AC or DC power distribution to multiple wireless receivers. An antenna distribution system is an excellent upgrade when you already have three or more wireless systems. antenna distribution systems are available for almost any brand of wireless. By providing a vendor the make and model of your existing wireless systems as well as the frequency band, it is possible to make the addition to your system.

2. accessory antenna/s:
accessory antennas are commonly added for long range or very directional applications or for coordinating dozens of wireless microphones. An antenna booster is typically inserted near the antenna. accessory antennas and boosters can provide a dramatic improvement to your wireless systems.
