The Hartman Brothers 10-Year Installation Warranty -- Because We Stand Behind Our WorkThe Hartman Brothers' 10-year Installation Warranty has your back where the manufacturer’s warranty leaves off. Your new HVAC equipment incorporates technology that provides a trouble-free expected service life that lasts longer than models of only a few years ago. Manufacturer warranties are also more comprehensive and longer than ever. However, the manufacturer seldom covers the labor and parts associated with installation of the equipment. And yet, competent installation is critical to receiving the energy efficiency and performance promised by the manufacturer’s specs. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that improper installation can reduce equipment efficiency by as much as 30 percent. That's more than enough to cancel out the gains of upgrading to a new high-efficiency air conditioner or furnace. An HVAC contractor that stands behind his installation procedures for a full decade knows the importance of getting it right from the beginning. Here what’s covered by the Hartman Brothers 10-year Installation Warranty:

Duct Cleaning: A Job Best Left To The ProsBy keeping your home clean, you also help keep your indoor air free of dust, pollen and other airborne contaminants that can trigger allergy attacks, asthma and other respiratory problems. Some HVAC contractors also suggest an annual or semi-annual duct cleaning as part of your regular preventive maintenance routine. If a duct cleaning has been recommended to you, be cautious. Duct cleaning may not always be necessary, and in some cases, the recommendation could be an outright scam.

"Our AC went out and they sent someone out within a few hours and the problem was fixed quickly. With our service membership we also got a discount so the repair price was reasonable. I was very impressed with how quickly and professionally they fixed the problem especially in the middle of summer when they must get a lot of AC calls. Will definitely continue to use Hartman Bros."
