Family is our
Traditional Value
It started with our dad, who wanted better service for his neighbors
Our dad Pete was living in Beech Grove while working as a HVAC contractor when he saw how the lack of care and corner cutting in the field were affecting the people in his community.
In 1986, Dad set out to start his own company: Peterman Heating & Cooling
Core Values
Lead Ourselves
We take pride in our work and take responsibility to be our best. Empowered to succeed by making decisions, being solution-minded, and owning our outcomes.
Grow Continuously
We humbly admit we can always get better and seek to learn through education. Apply learning to make positive changes for ourselves, personally and professionally, and to help others.
Care Genuinely
We take pride in our work and take responsibility to be our best. Empowered to succeed by making decisions, being solution-minded, and owning our outcomes.
Do What’s Right
We form trusted partnerships by standing behind our work, always doing what we say we’ll do. We are honest, fair, and straightforward.
Own Results Together
We win or lose as one team committed to supporting each other. Cooperating and sharing the load to achieve more together than we thought possible.
A simple home
service philosophy
Taking the time to care for each customer, one home at a time
Dad took the time to ensure every customer, their home, and the work needed to be done was genuinely cared for and that philosophy grew our service area and customer base.
Where great service
runs in the family
Eventually, me (Chad), and my little brother Tyler, joined the company
Today, with over 500 team members across 11 locations in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio, Peterman Brothers has become one of the Midwest’s most prominent, still family-owned residential plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and electrical services providers.
Services built on 40+ years of experience
Midwest’s expert HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical Services
We remain dedicated to serving our community with the highest expertise and professionalism. From fixing a leaky faucet to installing a new furnace, you can count on Peterman Brothers professionals to make your experience the best.
Rooted in Quality.
Built Around People.
Our dad, Pete, started Peterman Brothers in his garage with just one truck and a promise to do HVAC work the right way.
We’ve always believed that a home service company should be measured by more than just how many calls it handles. It should be measured by how well it cares for people.
That care extends to the homeowners who trust us and to the team members who wear our name on their shirts, and that foundation hasn’t changed in four decades.
— Chad and Tyler Peterman
Tyler and Chad PetermanCommitted to Elevating the Trades.
Since taking over the business from their dad, Pete, Chad and Tyler Peterman have remained dedicated to building a company that puts its people first, regardless of how much the organization grows.
They’ve advanced this commitment by establishing a shared vision and purpose centered on our Why and our Just Cause: the reason behind what we do every day and the future we’re working to create. That shared vision is reflected in a process we’ve intentionally named Service With Significance.
At its heart, Service With Significance means investing in our people so they can, in turn, invest in you. By elevating the trades through real career opportunities, meaningful investment in training, and ongoing professional growth, we strengthen our communities and better serve our customers.
“We Are Here to Build Something That Has Never Been Created Before.”
By doing this, we push ourselves to become more capable, more confident, and bold enough to set the standard rather than follow it.
That belief is what gets us moving every day. Not because it’s easy, but because meaningful change has never come from staying where it’s comfortable. At Peterman Brothers, growth is expected, challenges are embraced, and people discover they’re far more capable than they ever imagined.
A high school graduate can become a technician. A technician can become a leader. An office employee can learn a brand-new skill. A person who just needed a chance can build confidence, skill, and a future they’re proud of.
That’s why we’re building something that has never been created before: a home services company where innovation creates opportunity, people discover potential they never knew they had, and together we redefine what’s possible for the trades.
1,000+ hours of in-house training each year across our technician team“To Build a Future Where Trades Professionals Grow Without Limits, and Communities Are Stronger Because of It.”
This is the future we’re working toward, and it’s bigger than Peterman Brothers. It’s a future where choosing the trades means seeing more than a job. It means seeing a path, a career, a stable life, and a real source of pride.
For too long, the trades have been treated like a backup plan. We are committed to elevating the trades by giving professionals the support, training, and opportunities to succeed, grow, and build a future without limits.
How We Put This Into Action
A Career With
Direction
We give our team clear paths to grow, defined skill benchmarks, and visible next steps. People know where they stand, where they are headed, and what it takes to keep moving forward.
Training Built
From Real Work
We pride ourselves on building advanced in-house training courses, that meet our team exactly where they’re at with exactly what they need. These courses are shaped around real life experience and challenges our techs face everyday.
Systems That
Have Their Back
From the Peterman Way to leaders who genuinely care, we build the structure and support that helps our team focus on doing great work instead of fighting broken processes.
We Invest in Our People so Our People Can Invest in You.
We know the quality of service we provide can have a direct impact on your comfort, safety, time, and overall peace of mind. That’s not a responsibility we take lightly.
That’s why we continue to grow and develop our team through training, shared standards, Top Tech Academy, and Peterman Way Training. You’ll feel that purpose and pride in how our technicians show up, solve your specific problem, and care for your home.
You Will Feel Service With Significance.
What Service With Significance Feels Like in Your Home.
Every visit should give you confidence in the person at your door and the company behind them. This is where our purpose becomes part of your experience, and these are the ways it shows up in your home, every time.
Your Highly Skilled Home Services Partner
When something breaks, you may not have the time, the tools, or the answers, and that’s stressful. What you need is the right person to take it off your plate.
The technician at your door knows your specific problem and how to solve it, so you get calm, clear answers instead of guesswork.
That’s the peace of mind you deserve: confidence that the work is done right, and done by someone who genuinely cares.
A Guest, Not A Pest
In Your Home
Having a stranger in your home can feel uncomfortable. We understand that.
That’s why our technicians are trained through Peterman Way Training on the soft skills that matter inside your home: courtesy, professionalism, clear communication, and respect for your space.
When you choose us as your trusted home services partner, you can feel comfortable with the person who comes to your door.
Reliability You
Can Count On
When something breaks in your home, you need help quickly, not weeks later.
That’s why we build the team, training, and support needed to be there when it matters most, so you’re never left waiting and wondering.
Call us today or ten years from now, and you’ll feel the same thing: the relief of knowing someone dependable has your back.
This Is What Pete Started in 1986.
It’s what Chad and Tyler are still building today. And it’s what Service With Significance means to us.
When your home needs help, choose a team built to serve with skill, care, and purpose.
