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

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.

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

Our Story
Built in Beech Grove. Still Built Around People.
Our dad, Pete, started Peterman Brothers with one truck in his garage and a commitment to doing HVAC work the right way.
We have always believed a home service company should be measured by more than how many calls it runs. It should be measured by how well it takes care of people. As we grew into plumbing and electrical, that foundation stayed the same.
That includes the homeowners who trust us. It also includes the people wearing our name on their shirts.
Better service starts long before a technician arrives at your door.
Our Why
We’re Here to Build Something That Has Never Been Created Before
Peterman Brothers exists to build a different kind of future for the trades.
We are building a company where people can enter the trades and discover what they are capable of. A place where someone can start without a clear path, find support, learn a skill, build confidence, and create a future they may not have seen before.
Someone who came to us struggling and later bought their first home. Someone who started as a helper and became a lead. Someone who found a career, supported their family, grew into leadership, or became the kind of person others now look up to.
Those stories prove this is bigger than home service.
They prove that when you build the right kind of company, people grow. Families grow stronger. Communities grow stronger. The work starts to mean more than the job in front of you.
That is why we do what we do.
That future is bigger than Peterman Brothers.
It is a future where a person can choose the trades and see more than a job. They can see a path. A career. A stable life. A way to support a family. A way to build pride in themselves and their work.
For too long, the trades have been treated like a backup plan. We believe they can be one of the strongest paths forward.
That is the future we are working toward.
A technician becomes a leader. A leader helps open a new branch. A branch creates opportunity in a new community. And a community grows stronger because the people inside it are growing stronger.
Sometimes that growth keeps someone with Peterman Brothers for decades. Sometimes it helps them step into a new role, pursue a new opportunity, or continue their journey elsewhere.
We can still be proud of that.
That is the future we want to help build. And we are looking for people who want to help us build it.
What This Means for You
We Invest in Our People So Our People Can Invest in You
To us, great service is more than getting the job done. It is about how the people we develop show up in the homes we serve.
We know the quality of service we provide can have a direct impact on your comfort, safety, time and overall peace of mind. That is not a responsibility we take lightly.
This is why we continuously grow and develop our team members through training, shared standards, and programs like Top Tech Academy and Peterman Way Training, so they take greater pride in their work. You will 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
These are the three customer promises that guide how we train, lead, and serve.
Your Highly Skilled Home Services Partner
We want you to feel confident choosing Peterman Brothers as your lifelong home services provider.
Across our technician team, we invest more than 1,000 hours each year in in-house, advanced training through programs such as Top Tech Academy and Peterman Way Training, hands-on development, and shared standards.

A Guest, Not a Pest in Your Home
Having a stranger in your home can feel uncomfortable. We understand that.
That is 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 guide, you can feel comfortable with the person who comes to your door.
