"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."

"My husband and I were very pleased with the quality of service we received today from Caleb. He worked very hard to figure out why our furnace wasn't working. He also cleaned the coils which provided us with better air quality. We are now enjoying a cozy warm home again. Thank you Caleb for a job well done."

"Always a tremendous experience with Hartman Brothers. I have used them for more than 25 years and gotten to know their people more like friends/family than vendors... because that's exactly how they treat their customers! Always a pleasure to deal with and their work is exceptional as a bonus. Would give them 6 Stars if it was an option."

"Love these people! We bought a brand new furnace and ac a year ago. For some crazy reason something happened to the ac Sunday when it was 91 degrees . I had a service guy here Sunday and Monday... Vicky was fabulous through it all and the guys were wonderful. They ended up working after hours and got it all fixed... Thank you from the bottom of my heart and my puppies. We're cool again!!"
