I often encounter things on a daily basis that are interesting, and I’ll discuss things like this here, and hopefully you can comment on them as well.<\/p>

I get asked all the time, “how much is a 10KW unit?”\u00a0 as if there is a standard 10KW model.\u00a0 But there isn’t.\u00a0 There are many combinations of head and flow rate that can make up 10KW of power.\u00a0 On top of that, which model are you talking about?\u00a0 We have three models, one for the harsh freezing environments we see here in Canada and two others that are cheaper and simpler for non freezing environments.\u00a0 And are we just talking about the screw generator equipment or fully installed?\u00a0 So when you ask “how much is a 10KW unit”, expect me to pause for a minute while I take a deep breath and start to explain.\u00a0 I get asked this so much, we are considering putting some small units directly for sale on the website.\u00a0 We are also trying to put cost information together for viewing on the completed installations.\u00a0 But tell me how we can do better and I’ll see what we can do.<\/p>

I look forward to getting at least a few interesting questions and comments along the way!<\/p>
