"We purchased our home just a few days ago and the heat was not working, and we were in single digit temps in this area. Josh, our tech, came out and checked everything out and discovered it was a programming issue on the digital thermostat. He set it correctly and heat is now working. The level of service of Hartman is phenomenal! Vickie in the office deserves a big thank you as the house was at 45 when I called and she saw to it that we were worked into their busy service request schedule."

"I had an excellent experience with Hartman Brothers from start to finish. After dealing with an incomplete and frustrating repair from Peterman Brothers, Hartman Brothers was a breath of fresh air. Their technician spent several hours thoroughly troubleshooting my tankless water heater, walking through the issues clearly and professionally. There was no upselling, no pressure, and no shortcuts—just honest, methodical work.
Based on their findings, I chose to upgrade to a new tankless water heater, and the decision was entirely mine. At no point did they try to push a sale or steer me toward anything unnecessary. The installation was clean, the communication was excellent, and the entire process felt transparent and trustworthy.
It’s clear why they have such a strong reputation in the Fort Wayne area. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine customer‑first approach really stand out. I’m very happy with the new system and with the service I received.

Today's ductwork design principles correct thermal losses, pressure imbalances and other errors that waste energy.

If you're looking to improve your home's efficiency and comfort, you should be aware of the principles of modern ductwork design below.
The average homeowner spends 20 to 30 percent more energy than necessary for cooling and heating bills due to leaky and inefficient ductwork. If you are constructing a new home or 
The 
The most advanced HVAC technology you can buy has little value when ductwork design is neglected. In the past, the layout of residential ducts was often based on a “one size fits all” philosophy. Cost-cutting, not performance and efficiency, was the priority in fabrication and installation.
Ductwork design best practices are necessary to achieve maximum energy efficiency, as well as to provide comfortable airflow with uniform temperatures throughout your home. Rather than relying on rule-of-thumb estimations, you'll want careful planning to design the best duct system for your new home or retrofit. Work closely with your
