Peterman Brothers presents a deeply polarized review profile. Individual technicians are frequently praised for professionalism, friendliness, punctuality, and clear communication, which elevates the professionalism score considerably. However, pricing is the single most damaging dimension: dozens of negative reviews describe charges that reviewers characterize as grossly excessive, non-transparent, and in several cases predatory — with specific examples including $1,499 labor for 90 minutes of work, $350 for a $10 capacitor, $696 for a cartridge replacement, and repeated attempts to sell full system replacements when minor repairs were all that was needed. Project completion is severely undermined by a large volume of reviews describing abandoned work, systems left non-functional after installation or service, failed callbacks, and multi-week waits for urgent repairs — including cases where brand-new installed systems failed within hours or days. Technical experience scores moderately: while many techs are described as knowledgeable, a significant number of negative reviews describe misdiagnoses, incorrect installations, wiring errors, and work that created new problems, pulling the score down substantially.
