iHow this is made

This summary is generated from the verified data on this profile: services, service area, credentials, warranty terms and the company's Google review record. It is reviewed by an editor before publishing and refreshed whenever the underlying data changes. Nothing here is asserted that is not stated elsewhere on this page.

Sears Heating and Cooling has worked out of Cleveland Avenue in Columbus since 1950, founded by Johnny Sears and still family and veteran-owned three-quarters of a century later. It holds a 4.9 rating from 2,738 Google reviews, Ohio license #47086, and a BBB A+ rating, and it's a Bryant dealer, with American Standard and York equipment showing up in specific job reviews too. The company runs a Service Club maintenance membership, offers 0% financing on qualifying installs, and gives free second opinions on cracked heat exchangers and compressors, a specific and unusually generous offer in a trade where a second opinion on a big-ticket diagnosis often costs money.

Editorial Review

Our Take on Sears Heating and Cooling

Seventy-five years under the same family, now veteran-owned, is a genuinely rare track record in HVAC, and the free second opinion specifically on heat exchanger and compressor diagnoses is a smart, targeted offer in a trade where those two calls are where homeowners are most likely to get oversold. A 4.9 average across 2,738 reviews backs up that reputation at real scale.

About Sears Heating and Cooling

Sears Heating and Cooling has worked out of Cleveland Avenue in Columbus since 1950, founded by Johnny Sears and still family and veteran-owned three-quarters of a century later. That kind of continuous local history is rare in HVAC, an industry where a lot of companies change hands or get absorbed into regional rollups well before the 75-year mark. It holds a 4.9 rating from 2,738 Google reviews, read September 22, 2026, one of the largest review totals of any HVAC company covered in this ranking.

The company is a Bryant dealer, and reviewers mention American Standard and York equipment on specific jobs too, suggesting some flexibility beyond a single manufacturer line. Sears carries a BBB A+ rating, and its Service Club membership program is built around regular maintenance visits rather than a one-time tune-up.

One detail worth calling out: Sears offers free second opinions specifically on cracked heat exchangers and compressor failures, two of the more expensive diagnoses a homeowner can get, and two where a wrong or exaggerated diagnosis can mean paying for a full system replacement that wasn't actually necessary. That's a more targeted offer than a generic free-estimate policy, and it suggests the company is aware that those two diagnoses in particular are where trust matters most.

Reviewers name technicians directly, Wally, Jerry, Josh, John and Cody among them, and describe a pattern of technicians explaining what's wrong and what the options are before starting work, a theme that comes up often enough across more than 2,700 reviews to be a real signal rather than a handful of good experiences. The company's stated service area runs across a wide stretch of central Ohio: Columbus, Dublin, Delaware, Grandview, Hilliard, Powell, Westerville, Upper Arlington, Reynoldsburg, Sunbury, Pickerington and several more communities.

Sears's site doesn't state explicit 24/7 emergency hours or publish a company email address, so those are worth confirming by phone.

For a Columbus homeowner who values a long, continuous local track record and a Bryant dealer with a genuinely large review base, Sears Heating and Cooling is a strong, easy-to-verify option, especially for anyone facing a heat exchanger or compressor diagnosis who wants a free second opinion before committing to a full system replacement.
