Sullivan's TV & Appliance: Where to Buy and Service Major Appliances in South Carolina

By Constance Obi · Culture & Recreation Writer

What Sullivan's TV & Appliance offers and where to find them

Sullivan's TV & Appliance is a regional retailer operating across South Carolina that sells major appliances, televisions, and related products, with service departments that handle repairs and maintenance. The chain has multiple locations throughout the state, making it a local option for both new purchases and fixing appliances that have stopped working. They carry brands commonly found in South Carolina homes and offer in-home service calls for repair work.

The company operates as an independent retailer rather than a national chain, which means their inventory, pricing, and service availability can vary by location. If you're looking to buy a refrigerator, washing machine, dryer, or television, or if you need someone to repair an appliance you already own, Sullivan's locations serve different parts of the state.

Key Takeaways

  • Sullivan's TV & Appliance operates multiple locations across South Carolina, so you'll need to contact your nearest store to check inventory and pricing.
  • The company offers both retail sales of appliances and televisions and in-home repair services for existing units.
  • Service availability and repair turnaround times vary by location, so calling ahead to schedule is important.
  • As a regional retailer, Sullivan's may offer different financing or delivery options than national chains, which is worth asking about when you visit.

Finding your nearest Sullivan's location

Sullivan's TV & Appliance has stores in multiple South Carolina communities, but the exact number and locations change over time. The best way to find the store nearest you is to search online for "Sullivan's TV & Appliance" plus your city or county name, or call directory assistance for the location closest to where you live.

When you contact a store, ask whether they have the specific appliance or television model you're looking for in stock, or whether they can order it. Store hours vary by location, so confirming before you visit saves a trip. Some locations may offer delivery and installation services, but this is worth confirming when you call.

Buying appliances at Sullivan's

Sullivan's carries major appliances including refrigerators, ranges, ovens, dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers, along with televisions and home entertainment equipment. The brands and models available depend on which location you visit. Prices and promotions also vary by store, so if you're comparing costs, you may want to call more than one location.

When you're ready to purchase, ask about delivery options, installation fees, and whether the store offers financing plans or payment arrangements. Some retailers offer extended warranties or service plans that cover repairs for a set period after purchase—Sullivan's staff can explain what's available at your location. If you're replacing an old appliance, ask whether they haul away the unit you're replacing, as this service varies by retailer and location.

Repair and service at Sullivan's

Sullivan's operates service departments that handle repairs for appliances and televisions. To request a repair, contact the location nearest you and describe the problem. They will ask about your appliance's brand, model, and age, and what symptoms it's showing. Based on that information, they can tell you whether they service that brand and what the repair might cost.

In-home service calls are available, though the technician's visit may include a service charge separate from the repair cost itself. Turnaround time depends on parts availability and the service department's current workload. Ask when you call whether the repair can be done the same week, and whether the store stocks common replacement parts or needs to order them. If your appliance is still under the manufacturer's warranty, mention that when you call—some repairs may be covered at no cost to you.

What to bring or know before you visit

If you're buying an appliance, know the dimensions of the space where it will go—width, depth, and height matter for refrigerators, ranges, and dishwashers. Measure doorways and hallways too, especially if your home has tight corners or narrow passages. Bring photos of your kitchen or laundry room if you're unsure about fit.

If you're bringing an appliance in for repair or calling about a repair, have the brand name, model number, and serial number ready. The model and serial numbers are usually on a sticker inside the appliance or on the back. Write down what the appliance is doing wrong—when it started, whether it makes noise, whether it's leaking, or whether it won't turn on. The more specific you are, the faster the staff can assess whether they can help and what it might cost.

Comparing Sullivan's to other repair and retail options

South Carolina has several ways to buy appliances and get repairs done. National chains like Best Buy, Lowe's, and Home Depot operate across the state and often have wider inventory and online ordering. Manufacturer service centers and authorized repair shops specialize in specific brands and may have faster turnaround for warranty work. Independent appliance repair companies operate in most communities and may offer more flexible scheduling.

Sullivan's advantage as a regional retailer is local presence and staff who know the South Carolina market. The trade-off is that inventory may be smaller and prices may not match national sales. For repairs, calling multiple shops to compare pricing and turnaround time is normal practice—there's no obligation to use the first place you call.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the phone number for my nearest Sullivan's location?

Search online for "Sullivan's TV & Appliance" plus your city name, or call directory assistance for your area. You can also ask neighbors or local contractors who they use for appliance service—they often know which stores are still operating in your region.

Does Sullivan's repair appliances from other stores?

Most appliance repair shops, including Sullivan's locations, will service brands they carry or have parts for. Call the store and tell them the brand and model of your appliance—they'll let you know whether they can help and what the service call might cost.

What if I need a repair but Sullivan's doesn't have an opening for several weeks?

Call other appliance repair shops in your area and compare wait times. Many independent repair companies and authorized service centers operate in South Carolina communities and may have faster availability. Ask each shop for an estimate before committing.

Can I order an appliance online from Sullivan's and have it delivered?

Sullivan's is primarily a brick-and-mortar retailer, so online ordering may not be available. Contact your nearest location to ask about their current ordering and delivery options, or whether they can special-order a model not in stock.

What should I do if an appliance breaks down right after I buy it?

Check whether it's still within the manufacturer's warranty period—the paperwork that came with it will say. If it is, contact Sullivan's or the manufacturer's service line; warranty repairs are usually free. If the warranty has expired, call Sullivan's service department for a repair estimate.
