Air Waves Heating & Air

Air Waves Heating & Air has served Columbia, South Carolina and surrounding communities for over two decades, building a reputation as a dependable residential HVAC contractor. The company maintains a 4.7-star rating across 78 customer reviews, with every day of the week offering 24-hour emergency service. Owner Mark Baker personally supervises major installations and has cultivated a team of long-tenured technicians who treat customer homes with respect.

What distinguishes Air Waves from otherarea contractors is their expertise in whole-house generator installations, particularly Kohler units which Consumer Reports rates highly. Reviewers consistently note Mark Baker's hands-on approach, he personally oversaw placement and electrical work for a generator install, working through unique challenges at the property. The company also handles complete duct work replacements, a less common service that proved valuable for customers with aging systems.

Customers repeatedly mention technician Steve by name, noting his thoroughness including removing shoes before entering homes. When one homeowner needed a full system replacement plus all new duct work, Steve collaborated on relocating vents to optimize airflow. After Hurricane Matthew left residents without power for five days, Air Waves installed a whole-house generator for a customer within a week, completing the job in two days.
