Air Leaks: Ways to Detect ThemAn essential component of residential energy efficiency is home weatherization. While this involves comprehensive insulation, it also calls for an airtight home, one where both heat energy and air is kept from transferring between inside and outside. Finding and sealing air leaks is essential if you want your home's heating and cooling system to condition your home effectively and efficiently.

"We didn't have to wait long for them to respond to our call. They fixed the problem, explained to us what happened, and explained to us what to do if the issue should occur again. Also, they have great customer service. We will definitely use them in the future if needed."

"The staff is wonderful and the technicians are "top notch" at Hartman Brothers! I have used this company for the past 25+ years for all my regular maintenance checkups and repairs. I have never been disappointed with the quality of work by the Hartman Brothers service technicians. My most recent service tech was "Josh." Josh was very courteous and professional. I will continue to use Hartman Brothers for all my HVAC needs for years to come!"

"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."

"We reached out to Hartman Brothers as our previous place was actually rude and acted like didnt care as we had an issue with the AC. Our systems at that point were about 14 years old. We got a quote from previous place and i about fell off my chair. Called Hartman Brothers and asked if they could provide a quote for us on both and in AC alone. Super impressed as Rick came out next morning. Looked at what we currently had and that same day had a complete quote to us. We were scheduled for May 26 install however they had a cancellation and came out May 17. Both techs were super amazing. Talked with us with everything and answered all of our questions. They came out a little before 8am and everything was installed and working by 2pm. Cleaned up their stuff ( which was great as we have 3 dogs). Never have we experienced this type of professionalism from any company. We are all so pleased with Hartman Brothers including Vicki in the office. She was great helping me and explaining the maintenance agreement. If you ever need a great team you wont be disappointed with Hartman Brothers ! We thank you all for helping us and doing a great job. It was also great we kept it local as well. Glad to be a part of the Hartman Brothers family now ! Thank you again."

"Extremely pleased with their work! When I say I'm a picky customer, I really mean it (I'm a Training Manager for an HVAC manufacturer). These guys showed up precisely on time, were extremely courteous and professional, and did an outstanding job on my system. They were very careful moving the equipment to my mechanical room (not an easy task), did a very neat job on the install, and cleaned up so that everything was spotless when they left. I even gave them an opportunity to do a "shortcut" on my install, but they refused and said "that's not the way we do it." It was easy to tell that these techs took PRIDE in the work they were doing. I can't even begin to tell you how much I would recommend this small business from New Haven, IN to do any HVAC work. If you want a courteous, professional install at a reasonable price, call Hartman Bros!"
