Recently, the DOE proposed a new ruling to raise standards for tankless gas-fired water heaters to 91 percent efficiency. Guest Frank Windsor, president of Rinnai North America, says to put it in perspective, Rinnai's non-condensing tankless water heater resides at about 82% efficiency. If passed, the new rule will unreasonably restrict consumer access, limit consumer choice to purchase tankless water heater products, and disproportionately impact middle-income households and small businesses. 

The DOE is proposing new energy efficiency standards for water heaters which would potentially save consumers $11.4 billion on their energy and water bills every year. The proposal would require the most common-sized electric water heaters to achieve efficiency gains with heat pump technology and gas-fired instantaneous water heaters to achieve efficiency gains through condensing technology. These standards would take effect in 2029.

Now that the border is open, the boys travel to Vancouver, British Columbia, to talk with the ever-youthful Terence Chan, owner, Impetus Plumbing and Heating LTD (@the__impetus). Okay, we didn't really travel there, but we did talk being a plumber in the millennial age, and how to attract those young people to the trades. A son of an arcade owner, Terence's career path took a right turn as he left his engineering studies to follow a path in the plumbing trade. Customer service and social media explored.

With the recent news of a possible new premise research plumbing program by the National Institute of Standards and Technology that will help to combat a 900% increase in Legionnaires’ disease since 2000, there's no better time to talk Legionella with one of the industry's foremost consultants and thought leaders on the subject. This week the boys visit with Tim Keane, Legionella Risk Management, Inc., as he informs the guys on all things Legionella—What is it? How it spread? Who's at risk? How can it be curtailed? What are the best methods to contain it? Cost justification vs. risk? Premise plumbing design? Plumbing codes and guidelines?

The boys are back from their Wisconsin planning session and share a bit on their weekend work activities as well as John's upcoming family vacation to the Outer Banks. After the cross talk John and Tim bring in their guests Chris Carrier with Reliance Worldwide Corporation and Ed Brady with Home Builder Institute. 

Chris and Ed share the details of their recent partnership in which RWC will be the exclusive Trade Sponsor for HBI's 22 plumbing programs across the U.S., primarily serving Job Corps students and justice-involved individuals. Together they plan to train the next generation of skilled labor for the building industry. 

We also dive into the many brands of RWC such as SharkBite, HoldRite, StreamLabs and how it's a natural opportunity for them to double down on their commitment to promote and further the plumbing trade after its Careers in Construction Month efforts. We get details on how they both dealt with COVID; we look into their crystal ball; chat about traveling for the first time; Red Bull; Ty Pennington with Extreme Home Makeover; Philo, Illinois and much more.

We also get to know Michael a bit better as he tells us his journey into his career and the PHCC, his hobbies such as recording music, motorcycle riding, sailing and rocking the bow tie. Growing up a Boston and New England fan, what does he think of Tom Brady going back to the Super Bowl with a different team? You'll have to listen!
