Understanding the Difference Between an ERV and HRVIf you're serious about ventilating your Fort Wayne area home, you'll probably want to consider a balanced ventilation system. These systems – either a Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) or an Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) – aggressively exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air. While doing so, they also exchange heat energy in the two parallel airstreams to minimize the amount of conditioned air that gets exhausted from the home.

Try Two-Stage Cooling and Lower Your Utility BillIf you're tired of high utility bills, but want to stay cool over the summer, it may be time to try out a two-stage cooling system.

This means with two-stage cooling, you can control how much cold air you're paying to generate at any particular time, as well as how fast it's being disbursed, making the system more energy efficient

"Great first impression with the receptionist who answered my call after the first ring! She was friendly, professional, and genuine... The service repair technician was professional and took time to explain the repair that he recommended to the A/C unit. He fixed the unit on the spot. Not only great service, but great people too. Thank you, Hartman Brothers!"

"Interviewed three companies for new HVAC install and Rick Hartman as the owner stood out in the interview process. For the installation itself, Darian and partner flawlessly executed the install. Best choice. No misunderstandings. Everything is working perfectly."

"Hartman Brothers installed the HVAC system before we bought this home, and has always maintained it. When it was time to replace it after 32 years, we selected them to install & maintain this system as well."

"On Saturday, my water heater spewed lots of water in the utility portion of my garage. Unfortunately, my furnace was soaked. After my call to Hartman Bros., Darian arrived within the hour and dried out the furnace and re-started it. Hartman Bros. has been servicing my heating and cooling systems for over 30 years and have always been "johnny-on-the-spot" when I have had problems. I highly recommend them."
