What is Professional Indemnity Insurance? an Easy to Understand Guide

Professional Indemnity Insurance (PI) is difficult to comprehend. However, I’ve devised a guide to make professional indemnity insurance simple.

What is Professional Indemnity Insurance?
Professional Indemnity Insurance is a form of business insurance for professionals who are in industries where others may rely on their professional advice. By being regarded as an ‘expert’ in a field, others may seek legal action against you if they suffer a loss from your professional advice.

For example, if you are an accountant and are responsible for preparing and lodging your client’s tax returns, a failure to lodge the tax returns on time can result in interest and penalties for your client. Your client could take legal action against you for a breach of your professional duty.

Professional Indemnity Insurance may protect you from such action by covering claims made against you, including legal defense costs up to your specified amount of cover, and after taking into account your excess (of course, you would need to look at your policy wording to look at what specifically is covered).

Why Do People Hate Thinking About Professional Indemnity Insurance?
Professional Indemnity Insurance forms the largest percentage of your business insurance expenses. Typically, Professional Indemnity Insurance is a time-consuming process taking up to 12 weeks. Again, it’s expensive and most people don’t know if they are getting the best deal.

This is where companies like BizCover steps in to satisfy your Professional Indemnity Insurance needs. BizCover allows you to get live online quotes in under 2 minutes, and purchase in only a couple more. BizCover also allows business professionals to compare policies from leading insurance providers (AIG, Dual and Vero) to make sure that you’re getting the cover you need. By staying online, you are also benefiting from reduced pricing and costs.

So, make sure you visit BizCover Professional Indemnity Insurance for further Professional Indemnity Insurance info, and get a free 2-minute quote!

A Guide On How To Buy A New Boiler

Providing hot water and heating for your family is essential and everyone has to do it. However, millions of households are wasting money by not installing a more energy efficient heating system. This guide will help you decide which kind of boiler you need and the safest way to have it installed as well as how you can save more money on your heating bills.

A new law was passed in April 2005 which meant all new boilers must now be high energy efficient condensing boilers, unless it is too expensive or difficult to do so. To evaluate whether you fall into the category of not being able to install a condensing gas boiler a qualified heating engineer will use a Building Regulations Approved Document L1, this is normally available from your local library.

There are many plumbers and handy men who claim to be able to install boilers however it is very important to enlist the help of a qualified Gas Safe boiler engineer when installing a new heating system. Gas Safe recently took over from Corgi and you can check if a boiler engineer is registered to fit your boiler by visiting www.gassaferegister.co.uk. Another thing to keep in mind is if you fit a new gas boiler and heating system it must meet minimum energy efficiency regulations especially if you are a landlord or property developer. A qualified heating engineer should be able to advise you on the minimum requirements as well as the best position for your boiler, which is crucial when considering which boiler you may need.

The energy efficiency of boilers has improved greatly over the last couple of decades. An average boiler installed in the 1990s was 20% more efficient than one installed in the 1970s. Changing from a low G-rated traditional boiler to an A-rated condensing boiler could reduce a households CO2 emissions by over a tonne a year. Actually in the UK alone up to 16% of the carbon dioxide produced is from gas and oil boilers.

The older your current boiler is the more likely it is going to be a G-rated boiler, which in some cases only converts around 60% of the gas into heat for your home. A condensing gas boiler is far more energy efficient and reduces the amount of energy lost through the flue. As a result an A-rated condensing boiler can be over 90% efficient resulting in greater efficiency and less money wasted. Installing a condensing boiler can save the average home over £100 a year. Modern boilers are also relatively easy to install and can replace most wall hung and floor standing gas boilers. Combination condensing boilers provide immediate hot water and heat through the pipes in your home. They are usually small units and are often bought for small properties with only one bathroom as you cannot run hot water through multiple taps at the same time.

If you want to control how much heat you use more accurately as well as the temperature in each room you can fit digital heating controls with a high energy efficient condensing gas boiler. Another benefit of fitting digital controls is that you can further reduce your heating bills in some cases they can save you a further £90 a year on top of your savings from installing a condensing gas boiler. New heating systems will also heat your home much more quickly and efficiently than many older systems.

If you need to buy a new boiler you can call British Gas they will send a qualified Gas Safe engineer to visit your home give you a free assessment and provide advice on the best heating system for your needs.

Contemporary Bathroom Suites: The Layman’s Guide

Hasn’t the world of contemporary bathroom suites changed from when you could buy standard white fittings that all looked the same or the dreaded ‘avocado’, then-contemporary bathroom suites that were  the design nightmare of the 1970s? Nowadays,contemporary bathroom suites are  available in a whole range of designs: do you want traditional, ‘back to wall’  contemporary bathroom suites, wall hung bathroom suites or a cloakroom suite?

BathroomTrade.co.uk  is proud to offer a very extensive range of contemporary bathroom suites. But  this can create a problem: if the extent of choice leaves you feeling that you  did know what you want, but now you aren’t so sure, then here is the guide you  need to take you through the different styles: contemporary bathroom suites in layman’s terms!

Different Types of Bathroom Suites

Contemporary Bathroom Suites: These are often minimalist in design. They offer sleek and  sometimes quite angular shapes, lever style taps or square wash hand basins.  Other contemporary bathroom suites may simply be updates to traditional ranges,  offering a slightly less curved shape or may simply look more modern. Wash hand  basins may be sited on a surface or fitted to a load bearing wall.

Traditional Bathroom Suites: Traditional suites are ones that are generally regarded as being quite classic  compared to contemporary bathroom suites, often with traditional style basins,  such as rounder shapes or fitted on classic style pedestal. Traditional bathroom  suites are used more in traditional homes, where very modern contemporary  bathroom suites may not look in keeping with the rest of the bathroom.

Back to Wall Contemporary Bathroom Suites: The items in a back to wall suite are fitted to a wall or a piece of furniture  behind say the toilet itself.  This is  not the same as ‘close coupled’ where the toilet actually is attached or joined  to the pan, so that there is no space lost accommodating the cistern. Close  coupled suites contemporary bathroom suites are often used where space is at a  premium.

Wall Hung Bathroom Suites : Well they may well sound pretty obvious, but remember that you need to have a  wall that is supportive enough to be able to accommodate your toilet and wash  hand basin!

Cloakroom Suites: A  cloakroom suite is usually just a toilet and a finger rinse basin, which is  smaller than a standard sized suite, in order to fit nicely into a cloakroom,  which is often quite compact.

So do not let the different terms and phrases used about  contemporary bathroom suites confuse you. The whole explosion that has taken  place with regard to bathroom design has simply mean that there are so many  different types of contemporary bathroom suites on the market, that they have  to be classified and grouped together. But armed with an understanding of the  different types of contemporary bathroom suites that are available at BathroomTrade.co.uk,  it should be possible to feel just that little more confident about parting with your hard earned cash.

Window Replacement Guide – Learn About Maximum Window Efficiency

Before you can appreciate just how much a window can save you on your utility bills, you must understand the actual working of an energy efficient window.  This window replacement guide will attempt to help you in this understanding.  The theory is fairly straightforward: windows that are designed to be energy efficient are capable of slowing the heat transfer process between the inside of your house and the outdoors.  We all know that heat travels from warm to cold spaces.  In this way, the window becomes an agent of energy loss.  During the winter, the warmth inside the house tends to dissipate out through the window and during the warmer season, the hot air outside tries to rush into your house via the same window as well.
 
Windows are central to the heat transfer process because they don’t provide as good insulation as other parts of your wall assembly.  For example roofs, floors and walls are better insulated against heat loss.  The old single pane windows or inadequately installed double pane windows, or cracks on the window or frames are all prime candidates to facilitate this process.  To exacerbate the matter, even the best-sealed windows also allow some form of heat loss through the glass, as the glass is a natural conductor of heat through conduction. 

This windows replacement guide will explain the technologies used to lower air flow and subsequently heat transfer.  These are the glazing technique, low-U values, low-E coatings, as well as gases like argon or krypton between panes.  As a result, these efficient windows will block the cold of winter away, while keeping you cool during the hot season.  Additionally, this guide will also deal with how to avoid the condensations formed inside the windows.  The performance indicator of an energy-efficient window is down to the construction of the window frame and a spacer material, and the object used to separate the main window glass and the individual frames of glass within the pane.
 
If you are serious in obtaining a LEED certification for your household, then it is imperative for you to know that correct windows choice can enhance your qualification. LEED accreditation is awarded based on window’s size, solar heating gain, U-factor and a host of other considerations.
 
Glazing

Glazing is the word used to define the glass in a window.  A double-glazed window describes two panes window; triple-glazed contains three. An “energy-glazed” window has a layer of lamination and a gas filled within the panes of glass. The reduction in solar gain goes is proportional to the numberamount[/size] of glazing.

If the solar gain is overly high, carpet, furniture and floors tend to fade easily and you need more energy for cooling to offset the solar gain; still, a decent amount of solar gain is necessary to counter the cold of winter. A double-glazed can trigger a 10 percent reduction in solar gain; triple-glazing by 20 percent. This windows replacement guide urges that households with single-glazed or single-pane windows upgrade to double- or triple-glazed windows. It will make a world of difference for your utility bills.
 
Low-E

Low-emissivity (low-E) coating also restricts the amount of energy transfer through the window. This coating is a transparent lamination that applies itself onto the window pane directly. It can be coated on either the inside surfaces (surfaces on opposing ends) or the exterior. Low-E coatings facilitates passing through of sun light but can cut down the heat transfer process via the window glass. In addition, businesses have also made available low-E squared and low-E cubed, which are effectively the extensions of low-E coatings and denotes two or three layers of coatings of low-E respectively.

There are two variations of low-E coatings, i.e. soft and hard types. Soft-coat low-E is comparatively not as robust and it can disintegrate under prolonged exposure to moisture and air. Conversely, while hard low-E coatings are able to withstand harsher conditions, their energy efficiencies are not comparable to those of soft coatings.
As per guideline provided by U.S. Department of Energy, low-E coated (both soft and hard variations) windows are typically priced around 10% – 15% more than conventional windows, which more than compensate the 30 to 50 percent enhancement in energy loss reduction. Low-E coated windows have come a long way from its early days of make-to-order status to become standard on windows.
 
U-Value

As pointed out earlier in this windows guide, R-value defines the efficiency of insulation of ceilings, walls, etc.; its reading is in direct relationship with the extent or effectiveness of the insulation. However, it is not practical to use R-value alone to measure windows insulation. They are different in the sense that they are subject to several external factors, such as wind, rain, sunlight, inside and outside air temperatures, just to name some of them. It is only natural that a different measurement system is applied on to windows.
This measurement system is called U-value, also known as U-factor. The U-value here is a more useful calculation of heat loss via the window, or heat transfer. (R-values may still be listed on windows on sales, but the values have no real significance as they are just readings on the center portion of the window, thus not an accurate measurement for the entire window.) When one is referring to U-value, the lower the reading, the higher the energy efficiency is. In cold weathers, U-value of .35 or lower is preferred.
Windows with multi-glazing and have krypton or argon filled are also effective in reducing heat loss and generally have low U-values.
 
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient(SHGC)

The SHGC is an indicator used to measure how well solar radiation is blocked from the sun. Lower reading of SHGC means less solar heat is transmitted across. The ENERGY STAR program includes guidelines and criteria for doors and windows for three climate zones in the U.S. Manufacturers would be in a better position to tell if the product is ENERGY STAR–certified or not. For ENERGY STAR certification criteria, all products are required to be rated, certified, and labelled for both SHGC as well as U-value according to the procedures of the NFRC (or short for National Fenestration Rating Council) or able to satisfy the ENERGY STAR qualification criteria in at least one of the climate zones.
