Fill in the form below to recieve a brochure which provides more information about the company and our services
Fill in the form below to request an engineer callout. Wether It be an Emergency or just a small repair we are happy to help.
By transforming the energy found naturally in outdoor air and using that to help provide cost effective heating, we�ve already established the efficiency of Ecodan and the fact that it �upgrades� energy.
Take that one step further and consider using Ecodan powered by electricity from a renewable energy source such as wind, biomass, solar or tidal and you could have a heating system that is zero carbon rated.
At the heart of Ecodan is a modern, inverter-driven heat pumps compressor which converts free energy from the air and upgrades it to higher temperatures suitable for heating.
The inverter control regulates the system so that heat output modulates to match the exact capacity required, meaning the boiler will only consume the exact energy needed at any given time and thus increase efficiency further. The advanced heating technology used in heat pumps make them ideal for use in the UK's ambient temperatures and hence perfect for the domestic market.
Whatever the location, simply install Ecodan and enjoy efficient, effective heating and hot water at a fraction of the alternative cost.
Heat pumps are air conditioners which can be used both for cooling and heating. The principle is that it is able to reverse the process of transporting heat from one place to another.
Moreover heat pumps are much more energy efficient than other heaters. The reason for this is simple: rather than burning a fuel, what it does is 'moving heat'. Because of this heat pumps are up to five times more energy efficient than other heaters.
Heat pumps additionally allow the refrigerant cycle to be reversed. A heat pump extracts energy from the outdoor and transfers the heat indoors. This principle even continues to function on very cold days with temperatures down to -5°C, -10°C or -15°C, depending on the type of air conditioning system used.
Therefore, heat pumps eliminate the need for a heating system and allow you to cool and heat with the same unit, with savings in costs and energy throughout the year.

"Great place, just 10 min. from the city center"
We had a great time in Vienna and this hotel was a big part of our good time. We were offered an upgrade for a little money, when we checked it, but it was totally worth it. We had access to business lounge, minibar at the room and access to the sauna facility. In addition, free wi-fi in the room. The sauna was small, but great after a long day of touring […] the city. The hotel is near the train station and it was very easy to get there by metro from the train station. The staff at the front desk and the business lounge was very-very-very helpfull. Also, the Danube's creek is right next to the hotel, so we started each morning with the swiming there and it was wonderfull. Ler maisAvaliação genuína de um cliente da Expedia

The hotel staff was fantastic and was very willing to help with all our questions about Vienna. The rooms were very nice and very clean.

"Exactly as expected"
We stayed for an overnight layover. I read reviews ahead of booking and the nailed it! Lovely hotel, helpful staff, clean and so convenient to public transport. If you take the airport shuttle (Vienna Airport Lines) from the airport, it will drop you off right at the hotel entrance for only 8 Euro one way. When you arrive at the airport follow exit […] signs to buses and go to platform 9. On the way back, make sure your cross the road to catch the bus on the other side. The only negative would be the exhorbident expensive breakfast at 20 Euro. Bring snacks or go into town to buy something light to have for the morning. I would highly recommend this hotel and will stay again if ever I'm in Vienna. Ler maisAvaliação genuína de um cliente da Expedia

I can't believe I didn't book this hotel before when we landed in Vienna. This was our last night in Europe and we were appalled with the room and its many amenities.

"EXPEDIA VIP Hotel that ignores your status"
I have stayed at this Hotel at least 5-6 times in past few years (no problemos). This time I wanted to test my "EXPEDIA VIP Card", but guess what happened: I was given the smallest room EVER (Bed with one pillow and one thin blanket, and not even a Closet to hang the clothes !!!) I was tired after a very long travel from Montreal. I did ask for a room […] upgrade (because of Expedia VIP Card and this Hotel is a VIP Member Hotel), and the Lady at check-in made phone calls and promised room upgrade. Next thing was very disappointing/made me mad - Hotel was less than half full and she gave me the smallest Room (low standard) I have ever had in that place! (I was too tired to ask to change room / only one night stay). I am still mad so I do not know if I ever want to return to this place. HOPEFULLY - EXPEDIA CAN HAVE A VERY SERIOUYS TALK WITH THE HOTEL MANAGEMENT ABOUT EXCEL VIP STATUS AND THEIR FRONT DESK PERSONNEL COMPLETELY IGNORANT about Expedia VIP status (I had to explain it to them). UNTIL THIS IS CLARIFIED / CORRECTED - EXPEDIA SHOULD TAKE THIS HOTEL OFF THE LIST OF VIP ACCESS HOTELS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. I travel 150+ nights a year for many years worldwide - this experience made me very unhappy - and I wonder if EXPEDIA really follows up on its so called "VIP Hotels".

"Close to VIC, spotty internet in room."
This hotel was perfectly fine, except for the quality of it's wifi in my room. The connection would frequently hang. (For those techies reading this. The connection would not drop, I would stay connected to the router, rather the system would start dropping packets, and eventually reach 90-95% packet drops and then cut out entirely. Then after 15-20 […] minutes it would come back only to repeat every 1/2 hour or so). I had the same behavior after I bought the "upgraded" wifi service, as it uses the same internet routers. This was on the 4th floor. The internet in the lobby/bar was totally fine. So, if you really need internet in your room, you may want to go elsewhere, But otherwise I did like the hotel.

"A clean hotel; not impressive service."
A very clean room; close to the Austria Center; good subway connection to the downtown. However, many little things may be really annoying for some travelers. I was on a business trip, and arrived at 11 am in the morning. The room was not ready yet, but the receptionist kindly told me the room may be available soon, and she would let me know if I wait. […] At 12 pm her shift was over, and she left without telling me anything, and without notifying the new shift that I was waiting. At about 12:30 I asked the new receptionist, and was told that my room was ready long ago. I was severely jet-lagged and went to bed. In an hour I was waken up by somebody desperately trying to open the door. After they continued trying for several minutes I had to get up and open the door. This was room service, who asked me when I am moving out today. My king-size bed was actually two full-size beds stuck together. Quite ridiculously, it was covered by a narrow twin-size (!) blanket. Wireless internet was login and password protected and it asked to re-login every several minutes. There was no clock in the room -- I had to ask for a wake-up call every morning. Some computers in the business center were not connected to printers or printers did not work. Finally, when I checked out, there were several mini-bar charges on my room. I told them that I did not use the minibar, and the charges were immediately removed. By the level of service this hotel is comparable to a 3-star hotel in the US.

"Decisamente OK"
L'hotel è in una posizione strategica per raggiungere il centro di Vienna con poche fermate di metro. E' ubicato in un quartiere di recente costruzione, caratterizzato da molteplici grattacieli. Non essendo ubicato al centro, manca quella tipica atmosfera viennese che caratterizza le strutture situate più al centro. Detto ciò, però, bisogna rilevare […] che l'hotel è davvero bello, pulito, nuovo ed efficiente. Si tratta davvero di una struttura accogliente. Unico neo va ravvisato nel fatto che la strada che separa l'albergo dalla fermata della metro (ubicata proprio di fonte all'hotel) è un'arteria a scorrimento veloce. Di conseguenza è un pò difficile attraversarla. Tuttavia c'è un ottimo sottopassaggio di cui è possibile servirsi oppure si può attraversare attendendo il via libera del semaforo presente sulla strada. Appena usciti dall'albergo, andando verso sinistra, in pochi minuti è possibile raggiungere un fornitissimo supermercato della catena Billa. Il mio voto per questa struttura è 8,5!!

When does $25,000= $100,000? When Debra L. Reed makes a donation that is matched by two companies and the total gift reaches that generous sum.
Reed is chairman of the board and CEO of Sempra Energy and has been one of Fortune magazine's "50 Most Powerful Women in Business" for several years.
When she decided to create an endowment at Marymount California University for $25,000, Sempra matched it 1:1 and Halliburton, where she serves on the board of directors, matched that $50,000 2:1.
"I am pleased that Halliburton and Sempra Energy have joined with me in this worthwhile endeavor," said Reed. "Together, we are creating a substantial scholarship to help promising young women benefit from an excellent education – hopefully, the first step forward in their successful careers."
Reed's endowment was established this fall as a result of several harmonic convergences. Reed was mentored by Marymount trustee Richard Farman, a retired CEO who worked with her at Southern California Gas and Sempra Energy; like many MCU students, she was the first in her family to go to college; and she liked the fact that she could direct her donation toward an area where she has a passion: women math or science majors who are first generation college students.
"As the first in my family to attend college, I recognize the critical role that my education has played in my success," said Reed. "I want to help other young women have the same opportunities I did, while also encouraging them to embrace math and science."
"We are delighted that Ms. Reed has chosen to invest in our students and look forward to awarding $5,000 annually in perpetuity to worthy students because of this generous donation," said Marymount President Michael Brophy. "Being the president at Marymount has allowed me to witness the hard work and dedication of our students. Ms. Reed's success and generosity will continue to encourage our students. We appreciate Ms. Reed and look forward to this gift inspiring others to give to Marymount."
An estimated 65 percent of Fortune 500 companies match employee donations. If you would like to make a donation to MCU, obtain a matching-gift form from your HR office, fill it out, and include it with your contribution. The MCU Development Office at 30800 Palos Verdes Dr. East, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275-6299 will handle the details.
Our programs are designed for students who truly want to make a difference. Courses emphasize problem solving, communication strategies and a sense of entrepreneurship. With a focus on the future, Marymount California continues to
grow. We're expanding our campus, our faculty and our programs all to help our students realize their full academic and
professional potential. Grow with us. See your future through our eyes. It looks amazing.

Great news!
Bandai has finally announced the next upcoming line of HG Clear Color kits which consists of HG 00 Qan[T], Zabanya, Harute, Raphael. All the kits will be launched in January and the price is 100 Yen above the standard retail price.
Here's some info:
Kit Name: HG 00 Qan[T] Clear Colour Version
Price: 1700 Yen
Release Date: January 2011
100 % identical to the Clear Colour Version of 00 Qan[T] launched in conjunction with the Gundam 00 Movie: Awakening the Trailblazer. Below are some extra shots.
Clear white, black, red and green are identical to the current clear colour line up. The clear blue is one slightly lighter colour than the clear blue on HG 00 or Exia.
A stand will come included but, no confirmation on whether it is the above illustration's normal clear or HG 00 Qan[T]'s sparkle clear green stand.
Kit Name: HG Zabanya Clear Colour Version
Kit Price: 1900 Yen
Release Date: January 2011
The colour of the clear parts are identical to HG Cherudim Clear Colour. Colours include, red, white, black, green and yellow.
Kit Name: HG Harute Clear Colour Version
Kit Price: 1900 Yen
Release Date: January 2011
Colour of clear parts are exactly identical to HG Arios Clear Colour Version consisting of clear orange, black, white, red and yellow.
Like Arios, the Mobile Armour Mode looks more menacing in clear colors, well at least that's what I think.
Kit Name: HG Raphael Clear Colour Version
Kit Price: 2100 Yen
Release Date: January 2011
First HG Clear Colour kit to feature clear purple. ^^
Alternatively, there is an option to get all the kits bundled together.
Release Date: January 2011
Considering the price is the total of all 4 kits, it should be safe to say that there is no additional goodies. But, who knows? Perhaps a hybrid box art like the previous Clear Colour bundle releases? only time will tell.
So far, this is a Bandai Hobby Online Shop exclusive thus, there is no confirmed news of whether or not the kits will be sold in hobby stores.
My Take:
For a clear colour kit fan like me, this is like a dream come true. Not one, not two but four kits. While I haven't mentioned this before, the new generation HGs from the 00 Series are very good at hiding seam lines and nip marks therefore making it look even better in clear colour. So far, 00 Qan[T], Zabanya and Harute catch my eye though, realistically I may only get 00 Qan[T] first. Raphael is little difficult, majority of it's clear parts are in white and black which don't really look all impressive in clear colour. Dunno, maybe the clear purple will have to do its work. XD
Until then, (with determination) Clear Colour Kits here I come!

text: Hey guys, I just joined the forum today! New member! But i started shooting last weekend for the first time and I shot a an overunder Baretta 12 gauge shotgun and I really enjoyed it a lot. A lot of my family hunts and is very into it and I really want to get into it myself. I am 20 years old and I have literally no experience with guns what so ever. I wanted to know if you guys could give me information about rifles as I want to buy one and pursue deer hunting later this year. I want to learn as much about that type of gun as a can, I want to know the ins and outs of it and be able to talk and know what certain things mean about it. Could you guys possibly hook me up with information and what to look for. As much help as I can get please from all the hunting experts on here. Like what I want to be shooting and what I can handle.

Amid accusations from Libyans and leading senators on Capitol Hill that the U.S. diplomatic office in Benghazi, Libya, was not adequately protected, top State Department officials offered the agency's most vigorous defense yet of security measures taken to fortify the post in the months before last week's deadly attack on the compound.
The sources, who spoke on the condition they only be identified as senior State Department officials because of the sensitive nature of the information, agreed to speak to CNN to respond to claims the United States did not respond to warnings about the dangerous conditions in Benghazi.
The September 11 attack on the compound, which killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, has led to questions about whether proper precautions were taken to protect diplomatic personnel in an area where there was growing concern about extremism.
There also have been questions as to whether the post in eastern Libya should have been closed.
CNN's Arwa Damon reported earlier this week that the Libyans had a meeting just three days before the attack with senior employees from the U.S. embassy in Tripoli. They talked about the rising threat against western interests in Benghazi.
Jamal Mabrouk, a member of the February 17th Brigade, a militia connected to the government but not part of Libya's armed forces, told CNN that he and a battalion commander attended the meeting, which was about economic matters but turned to the deteriorating security situation.
"The situation is frightening, it scares us," Mabrouk said he told the American delegation.
Jalal Bushala, a spokesman for the February 17th Brigade, said Libyans specifically highlighted the point that the Libyan government could not control these militias and advised the Americans to decrease their presence in Benghazi until they could ensure better security.
He added that at no point did the Americans ask for the Libyans to provide additional security as host nation, nor did they offer it.
But the senior State Department officials said a recommendation to close the post was never passed up the chain of command at State Department headquarters, either on behalf of the Libyans or U.S. diplomats in Benghazi.
"Never at any time did we discuss closing," one of the senior officials said. "We were engaging in important activities in eastern Benghazi and that was our platform to engage. Nobody recommended that we close and we were not closing."
Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, said on Wednesday there were "previous warnings of pending attacks - in every way."
McCain told reporters on Capitol Hill that he was not getting adequate information from U.S. government officials about what happened in Libya and was relying on alternate sources to get information.
"Other sources of information was that security was very much lacking, now whether that is absolutely true or not I cannot say yet," McCain said, though he did not elaborate on where he got the information. "We have information that there was -- and I do not know if it's totally accurate -- that there were previous warnings of attacks, there was a very extremist militia and that there was very lax security at the consulate, but I have no official corroboration."
The senior State Department officials said they were told of the meeting but there was no mention to those in Washington of the security concerns expressed by the Libyans. The officials said there were "no such recommendations" to State Department leadership, nor a request for additional resources.
State Department officials knew about the dangers in the area but the decision was to "keep on top of the situation and we would remain open."
Several top American officials, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have said the United States had "no actionable intelligence" that an attack on the Benghazi mission was being planned.
National Counterterrorism Director Matthew Olsen told a Senate hearing on Wednesday that while the threats of militias with al Qaeda and other sympathies in Libya were well known, there was no specific intelligence that the Benghazi post faced an imminent attack.
But security had been enhanced at the post after a number of incidents earlier this year, the sources said, including a failed bombing attempt against the compound in June.
"We took the place and made improvements to it in a continued fashion," one of the senior officials said, adding that a pre-September 11th review of base security deemed the post to be adequately secured given the threat.
The threat assessment was based in part on the June attack and previous attacks on other foreign targets, which included the attempted kidnapping of a Red Crescent staff member, a bomb attack on a United Nations convoy, a rocket propelled grenade attack on a International Committee of the Red Cross facility, and a similar attack on the British ambassador's convoy.
Such attacks, the officials noted, were small in nature and inflicted few injuries or physical damage.
The protections in place reflected the State Department's understanding of the threat which, the officials said, based on the previous incidents did not suggest a swarming attack of the embassy by a militia.
"Notice the pattern there," one of the officials said. "Stand-off attacks with no follow up. This (September 11) assault represented a whole paradigm shift for which there was no prior intelligence and there was no context to put in related to what was going on."
The officials said over the past few months, several security enhancements were made to the compound, including additional barriers and barbed wire, increased lighting, chain link fences, additional sand bags and closed circuit television.
Every U.S. building on the compound was also fitted with a safe room with a steel door, although the officials recognize the room was not fire-proof. Stevens and the other Americans killed in the attack are believed to have died of asphyxiation from heavy smoke.
The officials noted there were three regular armed U.S. security officers detailed to the Benghazi post on the day of the 9/11 attack in addition to two armed American guards serving as a private detail for Stevens.
Several armed Libyans from the February 17th militia also lived on the compound to help protect the facility. The group was one of the Libyan militias with close ties to the government and was considered friendly to the United States.
A "Quick Response Force" of several other armed security officers was also stationed in Benghazi at another facility, which came to the site during the attack to help fend off the gunmen, the officials said.
Sen. Susan Collins, the Republican vice chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee said Wednesday she was "stunned and appalled" to find out U.S. Marines were not guarding the mission, that foreign nationals were mostly responsible for security.
But the officials noted the sustained assault on the consulate by a large force of heavily armed assailants was comparable to attacks until now only aimed at U.S. military bases. More guards, or even a Marine detachment, the officials maintained, could not have curbed the lethal attack.
"The lethality and ferocity of this assault is nothing that has been witnessed in Benghazi in previous attacks, and hard for us to think about another event that is similar," added a second official, saying that it was unclear additional armed guards could have prevented the onslaught.

An employee of a cell phone store is facing felony charges for allegedly selling guns to illegal immigrants.
Rene Jimenez, 25, a sales associate, was allegedly using the store as a "front" to sell handguns to illegal immigrants who would leave the store with guns hidden in cell phone
Jimenez, who has a prior criminal drug conviction from Colorado, was arrested and booked into the Salt Lake County Jail March 8. He was charged with six counts of possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, a third-degree felony. Investigators found the weapon when he was first questioned in February but delayed the arrest until the investigation was complete.
Jimenez will likely be charged with the sale of a firearm by a restricted person and multiple other state and federal weapons charges, McQuiston said.

The esophagus is the muscular tube that carries food through the chest, from the mouth to the stomach. Normally you don't feel it except when you are swallowing. However, if the inside lining of your esophagus becomes inflamed, you may experience pain or problems with swallowing. This inflammation of the esophagus is called esophagitis.
Esophagitis has several common causes:
Acid reflux - By far the most common cause of esophagitis is acid reflux (also called gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD). It is a backflow of digestive acid from the stomach, resulting in a chemical burn of the esophagus.
Eating disorders - Similar to acid reflux, frequent vomiting can cause acid burn in the esophagus. Esophagitis sometimes is seen in people with eating disorders such as bulimia.
Medications - Some common medications also can cause a chemical burn in the esophagus. Pills that are most likely to cause esophagitis include:
iron supplements
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn)
osteoporosis medications such as alendronate (Fosamax) or risedronate (Actonel)
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer - Some of these treatments can injure the esophagus lining, resulting in esophagitis.
Infections - Infections in the esophagus also can cause esophagitis. They usually occur in people with a weak immune system. Esophagitis from infections is common in people who have HIV infection, use steroid medicines long-term, have had organ transplants, or have been treated with chemotherapy for cancer.
Only a few types of infection are common in the esophagus, such as:
herpes virus (HSV)
cytomegalovirus (CMV)
Even in someone who already has a herpes infection in the mouth, it rarely spreads down to the esophagus if the immune system is normal.
The main symptoms of esophagitis are:
The diagnosis often is made based on your symptoms. The most accurate way to check for esophagitis is for a doctor to look directly at the inside of the esophagus with a video camera called an endoscope. The endoscope has a camera at the end of a flexible, plastic-coated cord. This tube is long enough to reach through the stomach to the first portion of the intestine (duodenum). The procedure is sometimes called esophagogastroduodenoscopy or EGD. Using the endoscope, the doctor can see evidence of injury from esophagitis. The doctor will look for areas where the lining of the esophagus has worn away (called erosions or ulcers), blisters or scarred areas. Some infections leave a deposit on the esophagus walls that can be sampled through the endoscope by using a remote-controlled brush. In some cases the doctor will biopsy of the esophagus by snipping a small sample of the inside lining through the end of the endoscope. This tissue is examined under a microscope.
Since esophagitis is only one of the things that can cause symptoms of chest pain or swallowing problems, your doctor may order other tests to evaluate your heart, lungs or digestive tract.
How long symptoms last depends on how easily their cause can be eliminated. Bad cases of reflux or resistant viruses, for example, might require several tries before the right medicine or treatment is found. In most cases, symptoms begin to improve within a few days of starting the right treatment. But it can take weeks for symptoms to go away completely. Esophagitis from an infection may be harder to cure if the immune system is severely weakened.
The most common cause of esophagitis, acid reflux, sometimes can be prevented by some very simple measures:
If you have heartburn despite these measures, your doctor may suggest you take a preventative acid-blocking medicine.
All prescription and nonprescription pills should be taken while you are upright and should be swallowed with water. This is especially important for the medicines that frequently cause esophagitis.
Treatment depends on the cause of esophagitis.
While your esophagus is recovering, your doctor can ease your pain symptoms by prescribing pain relievers.
If you are unable to eat or drink due to pain during swallowing, you should contact your doctor. Life-threatening dehydration can develop quickly if you cannot drink liquids.
Occasionally an injured esophagus can develop a hole, causing sudden worsening of chest pain, shortness of breath or fever. Report these symptoms to your doctor immediately.
If your symptoms do not clear up with initial treatment, consult your doctor. Occasionally, scarring in the esophagus will cause persistent swallowing difficulty that might require dilation therapy done through the endoscope.
Almost all cases of esophagitis can be cured. Some causes, such as acid reflux, may require long-term treatment.
