“We have been looking for opportunities to expand our heating and air conditioning services to better serve our customers throughout the Columbia area,” said Joe Burns, founder and owner of Capital City Heating and Cooling. “Our customers will continue to receive the same high-quality service that we have provided for the last 10 years. This change simply allows us to grow as part of a leading company with national resources.”

Capital City Heating and Cooling has been a major provider of heating and air conditioning services in Columbia for the last decade. The company will become part of ARS®/Rescue Rooter®, which already operates a branch in the Columbia area, and Joe Burns and the Capital City service team will be joining the ARS®/Rescue Rooter® team.

“We selected Capital City to join our national network because its commitment to strong customer service coincides with our strategic vision for growth throughout South Carolina,” said Speedy Quick, director of South Carolina operations for American Residential Services. “We are currently
focused on growth through the addition of quality service providers such as Capital City and are excited about the growth opportunities in the Columbia area.”
