The new generation of heat pumps are both quiet and energy efficient. However, some have focused on cost effectiveness, while others are all about noise reduction. Noise levels are measured in decibels, and at a standard 30 Dba a heat pump truly is whisper quiet.

The noise made by the fan in your indoor unit is the equivalent of the low hum produced by a computer. You won’t even notice it during the day. If your unit seems unnecessarily loud, it is probably undersized for the area it is trying to heat, and the fan is running at a faster than the manufacturer recommendations. Just another reason to make sure your home is measured accurately before your heat pump is installed!

The external heat pump unit includes a compressor and fan intake, so it will produce its own low frequency hum, which can resonate. Make sure that this unit is installed away from your own and your neighbours bedrooms, and don’t install it on the roof where noise can travel through the house.

If your heat pump units unit is going bump in the night, it is time to call a service professional who specialises in heat pumps. Just like your car, odd noises from heat pumps are never a good thing, and it is best to get them fixed early and minimise damage.

When you start interacting on a social network you are basically using technology, combined with social interaction, to create a social presence. Before you begin, you need to think carefully, plan your social strategy, so your social presence looks professional. Remember what goes on the internet stays there forever!

As we’ve already discussed, building a social network is all about connecting with people. Make sure that your followers know where to find you, if they land on Facebook, have a link to all your other accounts and vice versa. Also, remember not everyone will look at your profile from their computer, so if it is right for your business have a phone number and email address clearly visible.

If you are selling a product or service, your customers want to know what they can expect from you, and have the opportunity to get to know you better. People want to know that you deliver and see social proof that you run a legitimate business. Having subscribers, thumbs up, or Like’s, as well as great testimonials (especially video footage) is invaluable. For those who are camera shy, it’s time to get over it! Find a professional photographer and get a sharp looking shot for your profile.

I know it sounds scary, but it’s time to get strategic and start planning what you would like to share with your social network! Next week we will look at how to deal with negative feedback and manage the content on your accounts.

Why did we choose a Dunedin bed and breakfast over a motel?

Why choose a Dunedin Bed and Breakfast over a motel

As we drive around Dunedin considering where to accommodate for the next few nights, Hadi and I decide our best experience will probably be with a Dunedin bed and breakfast. We heard of one on Tennyson Street, so we drive that way to look for a sign.

The most important reason we are leaning towards a b+b is that we want to stay with a person who is our host and will give us a solid grounded connection with the city.

Presumably the host can provide informed advice on what to do and where to go.

We discussed it and believe staying in a bed and breakfast will be an enjoyable experience that may not occur if we stayed in a hotel or a motel. By staying in a b&b, we should get a more accurate glimpse of the local customs and culture.

The last B+B we stayed in, the host was like a personal guide. He knew more about other cultures, too, so as visitors we got person attention with consideration of our own cultural requirements.

The latest b+b we found is in Dunedin City Centre and apparently has a staff of young University students who are native to Dunedin. This, we see as an advantage as they will each know a lot about the city and be able to advise on any question we may pose about what to do or where to go.

The following video is our chronology of the experience finding a bed and breakfast in Dunedin New Zealand: from looking around town, finding the B&B that caught our fancy, driving to locate it and wandering in to check out its suitability. We also questioned the owner of a b+b (Norman Wood) about why we should stay there rather than a motel.

Bet he liked that!
