Individuals need to consider building a custom home rather than renovating an existing one, due to the high costs of renovations in Western Australia, reports GenesisHomeBuilders.com.au

Baldivis, Western Australia, Australia – June 18, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the average mortgage payment for homeowners in Western Australia is $2,106 and the average value of a private sector house is $309,500. When spending this amount of money, individuals want a home they love and feel is perfect for their needs. In the event one cannot find a home that meets these qualifications, the time has come to turn to a custom home builder.

“Individuals in this situation often choose to make use of Genesis Homes Master Builders (genesishomebuilders.com.au/our-homes/). With the help of this builder, one may choose an existing home plan and modify it to meet their specifications or choose to have a brand new design. The goal is to find the right home for the client’s particular needs and our company remains committed to doing so for each person who comes through our door,” Jack Pleiter, founder of Genesis Homes Master Builders, declares.

Although custom homes tend to cost more than their ready made counterparts, one needs to take into consideration any modifications or improvements they will want or need to make to an existing home. Potential home buyers often neglect to add this into the budget when purchasing a home, only to find they are spending more than they would if they opted to go with a custom home builder. In fact, renovating an existing home costs more in Western Australia than in other parts of the nation.

As The Western Australian recently reported, the average WA tradie charges $68.31 an hour, and this is approximately $8 more an hour than seen in other parts of the nation. Plumbers charge the most, according to the paper, while electricians charge the least, on average. Pleiter explains individuals need to take these high costs into consideration when deciding if a ready made home is a better option than one that is custom built to their specifications.

Individuals choose from a selection of floorplans, with modifications being made where needed. Others find they wish to create a custom design, and this option is offered also. The key is to find a builder who is willing to work with a client until their desires are satisfied, communicating with the client regularly to ensure this is the case.

“Visit genesishomebuilders.com.au to learn more about our services and how we can be of help to you. When you do so, you’ll save time and money and know exactly what you will pay, thanks to our fixed price contract agreement. As we offer more inclusions, you pay less for optional extras, and this is the best way to build a home, as our clients will be more than happy to share,” Pleiter states.

New discounts can help offset the cost of bathroom additions and remodels, publishes anytimeplumbingvegas.com

Las Vegas, NV, United States of America – June 18, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

According to reports from the real estate sector, consumer mindset is changing in terms of the most important elements of a home. Whereas kitchens were previous front-runners in the eyes of the public, bathrooms have now gained considerable ground. A half-bath addition now holds the potential to increase a home’s worth by up to 10 percent; furthermore, incorporating a full bath can augment the value by twice that amount. In light of this recent market shift, Scott Jester of Anytime Plumbing, Inc. has launched the company’s latest line of discount offers.

Stated Jester, “Bathroom additions are no small feat from both physical and financial standpoints. While there are several minor projects homeowners can complete on their own, certain tasks are best left to a licensed plumbing contractor. Improper installations can actually detract from the value of a home and lead to complications down the road. Our discounts are designed to help make the cost of labor and certain fixtures more affordable for those considering home additions and remodels as well as those simply needing maintenance on their current systems.”

Adding an extra bathroom to a home can enhance its monetary value and aesthetic appeal as well as comfort and convenience levels; at the same time, a number of homeowners fail to consider some of the underlying implications of such home improvement goals. In many cases, a larger septic tank is needed to accommodate the increased outflow stemming from new facilities. Though water heater repair is an integral component of home ownership, a higher capacity model may be required in order to meet greater demands.

During such a project, many choose to benefit from the reduced energy consumption and readily available supply of tankless water heaters. These models are said to offer 10 to 20 percent greater efficiency than their tank-bearing counterparts. Although this can help offset the cost of implementing a new bathroom, installing a traditional model generating higher volumes of hot water can also prevent a smaller unit from working overtime and succumbing to wear and tear sooner than necessary.

Jester noted, “Some of our coupons apply to the purchase of tankless and high capacity traditional water heaters. We’re also extending discounts on labor and service calls whether they entail new installations, routine drain cleaning, heating and air conditioning maintenance or any of the other services we provide. Area customers may visit our website for more details on these special offers or to contact us to schedule a service call.”

Proper maintenance along with professional inspections and repairs helps thwart financial loss, potential reputation damage, publishes 1300fridge.com.au

Perth, Western Australia, Australia – June 18, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

According to statistics from the food service industry, restaurants spend between $5,000 and $100,000 on food each month depending on the size and nature of the establishment in question. Much of this sum is allotted to perishable items relying on properly functioning refrigeration systems to keep them marketable. In light of the potential losses resulting from malfunctioning commercial refrigeration appliances among these types of businesses, Darren Dwyer of 1300Fridge has launched a campaign to educate owners and managers of such organizations on the importance of equipment maintenance.

Said Dwyer, “Restaurants, bars, convenience stores, supermarkets and similar businesses have a lot riding on their freezers and refrigerators. Patrons expect premium quality as well as cleanliness from the establishments they frequent, especially when it comes to their food and beverages. Should certain equipment not live up to the public’s expectations, those in any branch of the food service industry could lose customers; not to mention, legal action could ensue due to food-borne pathogens. They also have health inspectors to consider, so taking care of their equipment is crucial.”

This type of equipment typically comes with a warranty if purchased new, meaning routine maintenance costs are covered by the manufacturer. Accompanying warranty paperwork must be filled out and submitted to the corporation before these obligations will be upheld. In most cases, this must be carried out within 30 days of the purchase date; therefore, time is of the essence.

Such warranties tend to be voided in cases where abuse or failure to carry out proper cleaning is believed to be the primary reason for any malfunction, so paying close attention to use and cleaning instructions provided in the owner’s manual is vital. Routinely clearing away debris and grease residue aids in ensuring components continue to operate at full capacity. Some cleaning products are known to damage this type of equipment, thus the manufacturer’s suggestions in this regard should be followed.

Experts recommend storing citrus fruits and other acidic items in tightly sealed containers as acids emanating from these foods can damage interior elements. Inspecting commercial refrigeration appliances helps thwart extensive breakdowns as well as the need for costly repairs. Though tightening loose fittings and clearing obstructed drains can be performed during routine cleanings, more in-depth repairs should be completed by professional technicians such as those at 1300fridge.com.au. This guarantees maintenance will be carried out properly and aids in preventing further voiding any warranties in place.

Dwyer concluded, “In addition to learning proper care techniques and teaching these to any employees who will be carrying out these duties, having refrigeration equipment professionally inspected on an annual basis helps catch potential failures before they happen. With an established service contract, these inspections can be scheduled as needed, and service records will be available should the manufacturer have any doubts about covering necessary repairs. Businesses in our area may feel free to contact us via our website, www.1300fridge.com.au, to set up a service contract, schedule an inspection or even request 24/7emergency repairs.”

Local IT consulting company Zarr Tech reacts to the new Windows 10 hardware requirements with predictions on aspects like new features.

Toronto, Canada – June 18, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

Zarr Tech (www.ZarrTech.net), a leading IT support company in the GTA that solves and diagnoses business technology problems and offers local IT consultation, is weighing in on Microsoft’s latest announcement of the Windows 10 minimum hardware requirements.

The new Windows 10 is set to be released next month. The build-up is leading to some anticipation and predictions on all of the operating system’s possible new features.

“Anytime Microsoft comes out with a Windows upgrade, everyone gets excited,” says Matthew Zarrillo, IT specialist at Zarr Tech. “The anticipation for Windows 10 is no different. Experts will have their predictions and some of the facts are already known, but we’ll have to wait and see like everyone else for the precise look and function once it actually comes out.”

Though little is known about the unveiling of Windows 10 in July, what has been revealed are the minimum hardware requirements in order for users to operate the system. Microsoft announced in a recent presentation that “it will require a minimum resolution of 800?600, 1GB of memory for 32-bit machines or 2GB for 64-bit, 16GB of storage space for 32-bit or 20GB for 64-bit, and DirectX 9 support.” (Source: Williams, O., “Here’s what you’ll need to run windows 10,” The Next Web web site, March 18, 2015; http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2015/03/18/heres-what-youll-need-to-run-windows-10/.)

“It sounds a bit complicated, but if you just read each of these requirements based on what you’re currently operating, it’s pretty straightforward,” Zarrillo continues. “This is more about storage space than anything and you just need a certain amount of GBs depending on your device.”

Physical power buttons and volume buttons will be required, according to Microsoft. There will also be some operating systems such as Windows 7 that can upgrade directly to Windows 10 with an ISO file.

“Microsoft will try to make the transition as seamless as it can for current Windows users. Allowing Windows 7 users to easily upgrade systems is part of helping that transition,” Zarrillo concludes.

The expected launch date for Windows 10 is July 29. Zarr Tech will be offering computer support in Oakville, both remotely and onsite, to all of its clients or any other businesses looking to utilize the new Microsoft operating system following its release.
