What Krantz Kooling and Heating does

Krantz Kooling and Heating LLC is a privately held, family-owned HVAC service contractor headquartered at 1512 Anthony Drive in West Columbia, South Carolina, founded in 1983 and operating continuously for over 40 years. The company is co-owned by Justin Krantz and Brandon Krantz and provides heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and indoor air quality services to residential homeowners and commercial businesses across nine communities in the Columbia, SC metropolitan area, including Columbia, West Columbia, Lexington, Forest Acres, Dentsville, Blythewood, Irmo, Chapin, and Cayce. The firm holds South Carolina contractor license #M109816 and operates seven days per week from 8am-5pm with emergency response capabilities.

The company's technical core centers on HVAC system repair, installation, and preventive maintenance, executed by NATE-certified technicians who service all makes and models. As a Trane Comfort Specialist dealer, Krantz sells and installs Trane furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, and Trane Connected smart thermostats (XL824, XL850, XL1050, XL624, XL950) with Nexia, Z-Wave, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home interoperability. The product portfolio also includes Mitsubishi ductless mini-split systems and indoor air quality products (air purifiers, ventilators, humidifiers, dehumidifiers). The proprietary "Krantz Klub" preventive maintenance membership provides recurring scheduled inspections with priority scheduling and extended warranty benefits, with all installed Trane equipment registered for a 10-year parts warranty.

Revenue is generated through a mix of professional services fees for HVAC repair, one-time equipment installation revenue (largely Trane and Mitsubishi), a subscription-style recurring revenue stream via the Krantz Klub maintenance plan, and commercial HVAC services. Distribution is direct and field-based: technicians travel to customer homes and businesses, with appointments booked by phone ((803) 672-3224) or via an online scheduling tool. Customer acquisition relies on local service-area SEO, a Google Business profile with 224+ reviews, a content blog of 80+ educational articles, social media (Facebook, Twitter), and referrals including through the Prisma Health employee perks program. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with a 0% APR for 60 months financing offer available on qualifying equipment.

• Lennox International: Manufacturer of residential and commercial HVAC equipment with a dealer network analogous to Trane's. Comparable as an equipment supplier competing for Krantz's equipment sales share and as an incumbent brand in the regional HVAC market.
• Trane Technologies: Global manufacturer of HVAC equipment including the Trane brand that Krantz sells and installs. Comparable through the equipment/installation channel relationship; represents the upstream supplier rather than a direct competitor in service delivery.
• ServiceMaster Brands (American Home Shield): National home services franchisor with HVAC-related home warranty and contractor network offerings. Comparable in addressing residential HVAC service and maintenance demand, though at a national platform level rather than regional operator.

Regional players

• Coolray Heating & Cooling: Regional HVAC service company operating across the Southeast U.S., providing residential and light commercial heating, cooling, and air quality services. Comparable service model and target customers, but serves multiple states rather than a single metro.
• R.S. Andrews of the Southeast: Regional HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service company serving the Southeast U.S., including South Carolina. Comparable service offerings (heating, cooling, maintenance plans) and residential/commercial customer mix.

Direct peers

• ARS / Rescue Rooter: Large multi-state residential HVAC and plumbing service company offering heating, cooling, and air quality services. Comparable service portfolio and customer base to Krantz, but with significantly broader geographic coverage and call-center-driven customer acquisition.
• One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning: National HVAC service franchise providing residential heating, cooling, and indoor air quality services. Directly comparable to Krantz in service offering (repair, installation, maintenance), customer base (residential homeowners), and on-site service delivery model, but operates as a franchise network rather than independent.

Others

• Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US: Joint venture between Mitsubishi Electric and Trane Technologies focused on ductless and variable refrigerant flow systems. Directly relevant as Krantz offers Mitsubishi ductless mini-splits as part of its product portfolio alongside Trane.

Emerging players

• HomeVestors / Local HVAC Independent Operators (representative): Other small independent HVAC contractors serving the Columbia, SC metro area. Most direct competitive set given shared geography, service portfolio, and family/independent ownership profile.
