Columbia, Lexington County, South Carolina
Columbia homes lean on their air conditioners from April through October and on their heat pumps and furnaces through every winter cold snap. American Air Conditioning & Heating Repair keeps technicians close to Columbia so AC repair, heating repair and HVAC service happen the same day you call, not next week.
Summers in the Columbia area are long and hot, and the Midlands regularly posts the highest temperatures in the state. Air conditioners here run more hours per year than almost anywhere in the country, so capacitors, fan motors and compressors wear out sooner. Annual AC service and prompt repair keep them going.
Our Columbia technicians handle central air repair, air conditioner repair, AC service and tune-ups, AC installation and replacement, compressor repair and the common calls of AC not cooling, AC not blowing cold air, air conditioner not working and AC frozen coil. On the heating side we cover furnace repair, heat pump repair, furnace service, no-heat calls and emergency heating repair. Every visit ends with a temperature check at the vents and a plain-English explanation of what we did.
Heating repair near me should mean a technician who is actually near you. Ours are based in and around Columbia, and they carry ignitors, flame sensors, defrost boards, capacitors and contactors on the truck so furnace repair and heat pump repair are usually finished the same visit.
Live answer 24/7. Serving Shandon, Forest Acres, Five Points and every neighborhood in Columbia.
