"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.

"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."

"Josh was very courteous and professional. He took the time to explain to me and show me what was going on inside the furnace. I felt really bad that we needed to call him out on a Sunday but with the inside of the furnace iced up our air just wasnt working and he got us up and running in no time"

The concept of HVAC has been around for thousands of years. The ancient Romans and Greeks used channels under marble flooring to distribute heat. However, it was until 1902 that the modern A/C idea was launched by Willis Carrier. Today's systems have experienced tremendous technological upgrades that make them significantly different from the older ones. Let's explore the recent HVAC history that has contributed to that.
