Best-1 Plumbing & Heating, Inc. was established in 2000 by Jeff Rucinski. Since then, our company has expanded to ten employees. This gives us the manpower we need to handle just about any job, but still allows us to be personally involved with our projects and customers. Area contractors appreciate the kind of quality service and workmanship they have grown to expect when they hire Best-1 Plumbing & Heating. We take pride in the quality of our work, and we know how important it is to get the job done on schedule. Builders know they can count on us when they choose Best-1 Plumbing & Heating to help in constructing their show-case homes. Best-1 Plumbing & Heating, Inc. has a pager system that our customers can utilize in an emergency, giving them peace of mind that their problem will be taken care of as soon as possible. We appreciate the opportunity to bid on your projects, both big and small, and look forward to working with you.

" I have done a lot of business with Best 1 over the last 20 yrs or so in servicing my home and my rentals and they have always charged by time and materials and been very reasonable.  Recently, I had a hot water heater changed out in my home.  To my surprise the bill came and it was billed as a lump sum of $1984. I was shocked to say the least.  This was for a 40 gal, 6yr warranty, reg gas water heater.  They can be found anywhere for under $575.  If you add in $100 for a couple of extra parts  and allow $100 for disposal of the old water heater (which is very generous) you have a total cost of $775. They arrived at 3 pm and left for 45 mins to go get the water heater from the shop, and were done at 5:00  ( 2 men). That is 1.25 hours working time. Allowing for the .75 hrs  to run to the shop, that's 2 hrs x 2 for a total of 4. 1209 divided by 4 is over $300 per hr. Buyer beware I have since gotten several quotes that were over 25% less. Not the company they were under the old owner."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You may be able to power some smart thermostats without a C-wire, but these may “steal” power from other appliances, or generally not work as well. If you’re committed to the high-tech life, adding a C-wire for your smart thermostat is likely a wise investment that can make everything run a lot more smoothly.

You shouldn’t hook up a solar panel directly to a battery. That can damage the solar battery and your appliances over time. Instead, install a charge controller between your solar panel and solar battery. Charge controllers regulate voltage, prevent overcharging, and minimize the amount of electrical current to protect your battery from voltage spikes.

A 3-prong, 15-amp, 120-volt outlet is standard in the U.S. These have two vertical slots and a U-shaped grounding hole, which suits most home electronics, from televisions to microwaves. Three-pronged outlets are safer than 2-pronged ones, as the third wire, known as the grounding wire, helps prevent shocks and electrical fires.

Electric bills tend to be lower in spring and fall because people use less electricity during these seasons. Milder temperatures allow for less use of heating and cooling, unlike during winter and summer, which usually bring more extreme temperatures.

Motion sensors are actually an eco-friendly option and don’t use as much electricity compared to other lighting sources. Motion sensor lights are always on “standby,” which requires a phantom source of power at all times, but for most sensor light models, this is only a small amount of electricity—typically around one watt of power.
