"Ked was excellent, friendly from the start and extremely helpful. Because of how thorough he was, he fixed the problem but also discovered another potential problem and promptly fixed it as well."

"Ked came on time for my semi-annual scheduled appointment, checked out the furnace and changed the filter. He spent a considerable amount of time trying to track and fix a problem with my smart hub, but stayed with it until we think it is fixed. This is the third HVAC system I have purchased from Hartman Brothers over the past 40 years and I have always been pleased with their service, product and personnel. That is why I still use them. Took them awhile to convince me the annual maintenance program is a good deal, but with all the electronics in the new systems, the system needs care and feeding from a professional! I am glad I finally listened!"

"As always, Hartman Bros does service RIGHT! They are prompt, courteous, professional, clean and fairly priced for all services we've ever had completed. We were introduced to them in 1998 when we first used their services and have been faithfully returning for every Heating and Air need, including the building of 2 new homes. They are stellar performers providing excellence at a time when mediocrity has been touted as the norm in our society. They go well above and beyond in all they do."
