About Doc Dancer Plumbing, Heating, AC & Generators
Your Comfort is Our Priority
Our History
Doc Dancer Plumbing, Heating, AC & Generators has been a Fort Wayne mainstay since 1946 when Robert Dancer founded the company. In 1966, Willis Bulmahn took over ownership of the company. He grew the business into a household name in the Fort Wayne area. In 1984, Willis’s son-in-law, Bill Berning Jr., joined the team and later took over the business in 1998 after Willis’s passing. He has continued the legacy of dependable, high-quality service that Fort Wayne residents have relied on for generations.
Our Mission
Today, the business is owned and operated by Bill & Nancy Berning, Steve Biggs, and Dale Hubert (pictured here). Our mission at Doc Dancer Plumbing, Heating, AC & Generators is to provide the highest quality craftsmanship in the design, installation, and service of heating, air conditioning, indoor air quality, plumbing, and generator systems for our residential and light commercial customers. We will honor God in our business conduct and by nurturing our valuable team members.
