What would change it

Where the assistant found the answer on another site and not on this one.

  • PMG explicitly promises upfront pricing with no hidden fees for furnace repairs; River City mentions free estimates but does not make the same specific promise on the reviewed pages.

  • PMG’s furnace installation page names high-efficiency Armstrong Air models and gives a typical one-day installation timeframe; River City’s reviewed pages do not provide those specifics.
