About Appliance Professional

Our Vision

At Appliance Professional, we’re working toward three goals:

We believe these goals go hand in hand. When we take great care of our employees, they support each other and serve customers at their best. And when we do both of those things well, we can build a successful business that makes a positive difference in our community.

Who We Are

Appliance Professional is a locally owned and operated appliance repair company that has served Columbia, Lexington, and the rest of the Midlands area of South Carolina since 2006.

We repair refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, ovens, ranges/stoves, garbage disposers, washers and dryers, and other household appliances. Our experienced technicians service all of the industry’s leading brands, and we’re factory-authorized by nearly every manufacturer.

We know that dealing with a broken appliance is frustrating enough without having to worry about the repair company you’ve hired. That’s why we focus on prompt scheduling, clear communication, professional technicians, and dependable repairs. See what your neighbors are saying about us.

Our goal is to make appliance repair as straightforward and stress-free as possible, from the first phone call to the completed repair.

Our Story

Appliance Professional was founded in 2006 and has been serving homeowners throughout the Midlands ever since.

In 2021, John Schooler purchased the company with a vision for what appliance repair could be.

John saw an opportunity to improve an industry where customers often feel uncertain about whom to trust, how much repairs should cost, or whether the work will be done correctly. He wanted to build a company that would replace that uncertainty with confidence.

That meant more than hiring skilled technicians. It meant creating a workplace where employees are valued, establishing processes that make scheduling and communication easier, and building a company that consistently delivers a professional customer experience.

We’re still working toward that vision every day. We want Appliance Professional to be the company people turn to when they need an appliance repaired because they know they can count on us.

Meet the Owner

John Schooler, Owner

My wife Cheryl and I both grew up in the Midlands area and are blessed to call Columbia home for our family.

When I purchased Appliance Professional in 2021, I wanted to do more than own a successful business. I wanted to build something that would make a positive impact on the community we’ve called home for all my life.

I believe great businesses are good places to work, treat their customers well, and contribute to the community around it. That’s what we’re trying to accomplish at Appliance Professional.

I’m proud of the people who make up our company and the work they do every day. We’re not perfect, but we’re committed to continually improving and earning the trust of the customers who invite us into their homes.

Thank you for considering Appliance Professional. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and your family.
