I had the opportunity to sit down with David Ariano, the President of Ravinia Plumbing, Sewer, Heating & Electric in Lincolnshire, Illinois, a family-owned business operating on Chicago’s North Shore since 1928. David is a third-generation owner.

Since David joined the company in 1994, it has grown from 16 employees to 76. The company has also acquired several plumbing and HVAC companies as well as electric, creating a seamless experience for their customers.

Not only is his company a seven-time winner of Carrier Corp. President’s Award, received numerous recognition for Angie’s List Super Service Award and A+ rated by Better Business Bureau, David is a true champion of small business and shares his experience and knowledge with younger contractors as three-time past President of the Plumbing Contractors Association of Northern Illinois as well as current President of the Plumbing Council.

In today’s interview, David shares how Chicagoland homeowners are making their homes better and safer with smart home technology and some of the pitfalls and misconceptions they run into when these systems are put together using multiple manufactures in a DIY fashion.
