Our Family, Your Comfort
Founded in 2009 by Rick (Richard) Liberti and Jon McCartha, Mid-State Heating and Air, LLC began as a small operation with a simple mission: provide honest, reliable HVAC service to our neighbors in Columbia. What started as a two-person team has grown into a respected local business, but we've never lost sight of our roots.

That's why we approach every service call with the same care and attention we'd give to our own homes.

"After struggling with unreliable HVAC service for years, I finally found Mid-State Heating and Air. Their team diagnosed the issue with our aging system and recommended a Daikin ductless solution that's saved us 30% on energy costs.

Sarah J.
Homeowner, Columbia
"After retiring to Columbia, I was disappointed with the HVAC service I received from national chains. Mid-State Heating and Air restored my faith in local businesses. Their technician took the time to understand our comfort needs and recommended a Blue Tube UV air system that's dramatically improved our indoor air quality. The difference is remarkable, no more allergy symptoms for my husband. Their family-owned approach means they treat us like family, not just another service call."
