Sears Heating & Cooling | Serving Columbus, Ohio & Surrounding Areas

Expert Air Conditioner & Furnace Service

Technician working on outside unit for HVAC

Nobody wants to be miserable in their own home—especially not in Columbus, OH, where one day it’s 15°F and snowing sideways and the next it’s 90°F with 90% humidity. Your house should feel like your favorite hoodie: cozy in the winter, cool in the summer, and always ready. When the furnace starts banging and clanging, or the AC gives up during a Buckeyes game watch party, comfort goes out the window fast.

Call the Columbus crew that’s been fixing Ohio homes since 1950: 614-475-1800 or contact us online!  (same-day service available)

That’s where Sears Heating & Cooling comes in. We’ve been keeping Central Ohio comfortable since 1950, and we know exactly what Columbus-area homes need to survive our wild weather swings.

Here’s why your HVAC system matters more in Columbus than almost anywhere else:

  • We get real winters: Average January lows around 20°F and wind whipping off the Scioto River means your furnace is working overtime from November to March.
  • Summers are no joke: 85–95°F days with that thick Ohio humidity can make your house feel like a sauna if your AC isn’t dialed in.
  • Older homes everywhere: From Victorian beauties in Victorian Village to mid-century ranches in Upper Arlington, a lot of Columbus houses weren’t built with modern efficiency in mind—leaky ducts and poor insulation are super common.

Want to stay ahead of breakdowns and keep your bills reasonable?

Here are the maintenance moves every Columbus homeowner should be making:

  • Change your air filter every 1–3 months (seriously—do it when you pay your water bill so you don’t forget). A dirty filter makes your system work harder and kills indoor air quality when ragweed and leaf mold are flying.
  • Schedule a fall furnace tune-up and a spring AC check-up. Catching small issues early can save you from a $5,000 emergency replacement.
  • Watch for warning signs: Weird noises, rooms that won’t stay comfortable, skyrocketing electric bills, or excessive dust are all red flags.
  • Seal those drafts! Older single-pane windows and uninsulated attics are energy thieves—some caulk and weatherstripping can drop your bills 10–20%.

We proudly serve the entire Columbus metro and all the surrounding neighborhoods people actually live in:

  • Downtown, Short North, German Village, Clintonville
  • Hilliard, Dublin, Worthington, Westerville
  • Grove City, Reynoldsburg, Pickerington, Powell, and more

Our normal service area covers everything within about a 25-mile radius of our shop, but if you’re just outside that line—call us anyway at 614-475-1800 . We’ll almost always figure out a way to help.

Bottom line: Whether you need emergency AC repair in July 4th weekend or a brand-new high-efficiency furnace before the first polar vortex hits, Sears Heating & Cooling has your back. Same-day service, upfront pricing, and techs who actually grew up around here and get Ohio weather. Let’s get your house feeling perfect again—text, call, or book online today!

Review
My experience with the Sears team has been excellent! I first learned about Sears through my next-door neighbor who has a recent full HVAC install. My neighbor also shared her Mother and Dad have been customers since the 1950's. It is this strong devotion to excellent customer service and professionalism that has kept my neighbor and her family coming back to Sears year after year! Service after the sale is not dead with this organization! I had been having some crazy high bills over the years even before the recent Columbia Gas rate hikes and grew even more concerned over the years when I began to have strange symptoms whenever I was at home. I always felt better away from my home when I was working at the hospital. I now believe it has been low-grade symptoms of CO poisoning- as a healthcare provider I should have put this together sooner! My tech Josh was immediately able to diagnose a cracked heat exchanger that when damaged can leak CO into living spaces or start a fire. He also discovered the capacitance system is below specifications due to poor install from another company- another efficiency and safety hazard. Josh basically with his detective work saved my life from CO poisoning and possible fire as the units in my building had NEVER been serviced by the owner since 1999 install. I am so deeply grateful to Josh and his company. Also, all of my work with the office team and even VP Bryan Meier has been deeply satisfying. This is a company and team that simply loves what they do with a team they love as family- I even feel like they treated me as a family member. If I could give all the stars from heaven for this review I would do it!

Cody, was very professional and engaging. He was really thorough and patient about what he was doing and why. That young man (Kody), also have me very interested in purchasing a furnace surge protector….I’ll be calling the office soon about scheduling an appointment to get one installed. He should be considered a valuable asset to your company. Respectfully, Daniel

Review
The furnace part replaced costs only $25 at most, but Cody charged me $269 plus $79 for coming in to check the problem. This is highway robbery!
Frank - Columbus, OH 43229
Response from Sears Heating & Cooling:

Hi Frank-I'm sorry you feel this way. The price you paid is the cost for us to send a fully licensed and trained tech in a fully stocked truck (on a weekend no less) to your home to fix your furnace. You could have declined the price if you did not agree with it. If we only charged $25 for a repair, we would not be able to pay employees let alone offer them healthcare for them and their families. I would encourage you to call around to other local HVAC companies and compare pricing as I assure you that we are competitive, otherwise we would not still be in business after 72 years. The cost you paid covers the parts, labor, company overhead and a 10% profit. I think 10% profit is fair for the service we provide. Thanks for your comments and we wish you the best in finding another HVAC company that suits your needs.
