I am so impressed with On Call. My unit was not generating cold air and this is not the season. I called and a tech was here less than 1 hour later. John serviced my AC unit and I am back in business. He was knowledgeable, professional, and kind. Highly recommend On Call….especially John!

I have had several very positive experiences working with On Call- for different plumbing and HVAC issues. This particular experience was even more pleasant because I had a major issue while I was out of town. During the hottest week of the year my Primary A/C unit stopped working and needed a full replacement. Mike(the supervisor) put together HVAC unit options detailing all of their specs and ratings along with their cost. I was then able to make a well-informed decision about which unit best met my needs.
Justin (the tech) arrived on-time fully prepared to complete the work- he communicated with my daughter and kept her informed about everything that was happening, which got relayed to me. Jason was excellent! Very professional, courteous and above all highly knowledgeable! Within a couple of days the system was up and running is definitely quieter and more efficient than the original unit I had.
Overall I am extremely satisfied with the entire team at On-Call and recommend them for plumbing or HVAC needs.

AC Repair FAQs

How quickly can you get to my home for AC repair?

In most cases, we offer same-day AC repair service in Columbia, SC and surrounding areas. For emergencies, our team is available 24/7 — call us at (803) 781-4357 and we’ll dispatch a technician as quickly as possible.

How much does AC repair cost in Columbia, SC?

AC repair costs vary depending on the issue, but most common repairs range from $200 to $800. We provide a clear, up-front quote after diagnosing the problem — before any work begins. There’s no pressure and no hidden fees. We also offer financing options if needed.

What brands of air conditioners do you repair?

We repair all major AC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Amana, and more. Our technicians are trained and equipped to work on central air systems, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits regardless of the manufacturer.

How do I know if my AC needs repair or replacement?

As a general rule, if your system is under 10 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of a new unit, repair is usually the better option. If your AC is 15+ years old, requires frequent repairs, or uses R-22 refrigerant (which has been phased out), replacement may make more sense. We’ll give you an honest recommendation based on what’s best for your situation — not what generates the biggest sale.

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

The most common causes are low refrigerant (usually from a leak), a dirty or frozen evaporator coil, a faulty compressor, or a clogged air filter. Some of these are simple fixes; others require professional diagnosis. If your AC is blowing warm air, turn it off to prevent further damage and give us a call.

Do you offer AC maintenance plans?

Yes. Our annual maintenance plans include a pre-season tune-up, priority scheduling, and discounts on repairs. Regular maintenance extends your system’s life, keeps your energy bills lower, and helps prevent the kind of mid-summer breakdowns nobody wants. Ask our team for current plan options and pricing.
