Of course, this is really dependent upon the pressure that water is under. Water pressure is created by water forcing its way through the distribution system to your tap. 2010-06-18T14:49:25+00:00 http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/times_have_changed_what_you_might_be_missing/ http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/times_have_changed_what_you_might_be_missing/#When:17:30:54Z If you have an older heating and cooling system, you need to be aware of all of the changes that have occurred over the last 20 years. We have seen a true revolution in heating and cooling equipment. Today’s technology is over two times as efficient (SEER), has advanced humidity control along with sophisticated temperature controls, provides built-in air purification options and has the ability to program and monitor your system from a remote location. If you haven’t kept up, here’s what you’re missing … General 2010-05-27T17:30:54+00:00 http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/help_the_environment_go_green_save/ http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/help_the_environment_go_green_save/#When:16:43:53Z Going green is a popular trend these days, and by going green you are helping conserve our natural resources. Fortunately for homeowners, the by-product of conserving natural resources is often a reduction in monthly utility bills. 2010-04-30T16:43:53+00:00 http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/basics_of_air_conditioning/ http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/basics_of_air_conditioning/#When:14:44:19Z Most people don’t realize how their central air conditioner actually works.  They think that an air conditioner functions by pumping cool air into their home.  But your air conditioner actually removes warm air and recirculates it as cool air.  An air conditioner is basically a refrigerator.  It uses the evaporation of a refrigerant, like Freon, to provide cooling.  A central air conditioning system includes both the cooling and heating of air and cleans the air as well as controls the moisture level.  2010-03-30T14:44:19+00:00 http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/why_you_shouldnt_super_size_your_new_heating_and_cooling_system/ http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/why_you_shouldnt_super_size_your_new_heating_and_cooling_system/#When:17:53:07Z We, as Americans, think that bigger is better and buy products that are “jumbo”, “extra large”, or “mega” size.  We generally think we are getting a better value and more of what we want.  But when it comes to a home’s heating and cooling needs, super-sizing your system can cost you in both money and comfort. 2010-03-03T17:53:07+00:00 http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/inside_your_air_ducts/ http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/inside_your_air_ducts/#When:16:15:36Z The air duct system within your home is responsible for distributing air (cold or hot) throughout your home and returning it back to your equipment so that it can be treated, heated or cooled again, and then redistributed.  Clean, maintained and well-installed ductwork enables your heating and cooling system to run more efficiently and maintain consistent temperatures, while providing better overall comfort to you and your family.  2010-02-02T16:15:36+00:00 http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/hot_water_on_demand/ http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/hot_water_on_demand/#When:15:55:27Z The average household spends $400-600 per year on water heating, making it the second largest energy expenditure after heating and cooling. Water heaters have come a long ways in the last 20 years and are now much more efficient. 2009-12-29T15:55:27+00:00 http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/the_value_of_quality_installation_and_maintenance/ http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/the_value_of_quality_installation_and_maintenance/#When:21:51:31Z These days the internet has become a very valuable tool for price comparing when considering purchases, especially major purchases. Everyone uses it. However, if you are considering a new heating and cooling system you need to consider more than just what the best price is and who carries the top brand. The largest factors when buying a heating and cooling system are the installation and maintenance. 2009-12-02T21:51:31+00:00 http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/basics_of_a_water_heater_what_you_dont_know_can_cost_you/ http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/basics_of_a_water_heater_what_you_dont_know_can_cost_you/#When:21:13:50Z Water heaters are one of those appliances that most homeowners take for granted. As long as you have your hot shower in the morning you just don’t think about it. Of course, there are probably some homeowners that have experienced flooded basements due to their hot water heater leaking. 2009-11-03T21:13:50+00:00 http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/plumbing_101/ http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/plumbing_101/#When:16:06:45Z If you're lucky, you rarely need to worry about your plumbing. Your toilet flushes and your sink drains smoothly; you have plenty of hot water and your shower has good water pressure. But luck doesn't last forever. Many problems can occur in this system. Pipes can break, drains can plug, and valves can leak. When trouble arises, it's helpful if you know how the system works. This knowledge can help you save money, prevent damage to your home and keep your family safe. 2009-09-29T16:06:45+00:00 http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/the_importance_of_heating_cooling_system_maintenance/ http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/the_importance_of_heating_cooling_system_maintenance/#When:23:38:31Z According to Energy Star, a division of the EPA, “Dirt and neglect are the #1 causes of heating and cooling system failure.” Most people wouldn’t dream of driving their car without performing regular oil changes and tune-ups, but they will go year after year without servicing their heating and cooling systems. 2009-09-16T23:38:31+00:00 http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/so_youre_considering_an_air_conditioning_replacement/ http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/so_youre_considering_an_air_conditioning_replacement/#When:20:10:57Z This article is intended to assist consumers with the very difficult decision of choosing the right comfort system for their home and family.

This refrigerant has been the refrigerant of choice for residential heat pump and air conditioning systems for over four decades. 2009-08-13T17:47:58+00:00 http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/problems_of_poor_indoor_air_quality/ http://www.bayonet-inc.com/library/article/problems_of_poor_indoor_air_quality/#When:17:42:28Z There are a variety of health and environmental effects that are caused by poor air quality. According to the EPA, asthma is a growing public health problem with about 23 million people suffering from asthma, 6.8 million of which are children. Other problems caused by poor air quality are rhinitis, bacteria, sinusitis, dust and dirt build-up, excessive molds and mildew, smoke, increased utility bills (decreased air flow) and unpleasant fumes and odors. 2009-07-29T17:42:28+00:00
