The fan that exhausts the heated air from your heating system does more than move heat; it also plays a role in venting combustion gases. Fan powered exhaust systems are usually found in newer construction designed for greater energy efficiency.

If the tap water coming out of your faucet has a funny smell or is a strange color, then it's time to call a professional right away. This is a good indication that there is corrosion in your pipes, and that you may need pipe replacement or even a complete repiping.

As the Roman city grew around 500 BC, they quickly outgrew their local water supply. That's why they built large aqueducts to bring water from miles and miles away. Once the water got there, they built a plumbing system to take it to their houses.

Older furnaces were pretty much either "On" or "Off," but not modern furnaces. Modern furnaces can have variable modes that can adapt to the temperature difference, and make a big difference in how much it costs to heat your home.

Radiant heating systems, such as heating stoves or in-floor hot water tubing, provide the most comfortable and natural heat in a home. However, they're slow to heat up and can be expensive to install.

One of the key parts of modern plumbing systems is the access to the public water main, but the first water main was more concerned with fire than water for your home. After several fires, New York built the first public water main in 1830.

The next time your toilet looks like it's going to overflow, remember your childhood pranks. Toilets use cold water to flush, which is why you can turn up the heat on someone in the shower with a quick flush. To slow down the toilet's flow, turn on the cold water on a nearby sink.
