What the assistant said

Its own sentence for each question, verbatim.

  • Picked #2

    “Who is the best heating and air company in Houston?”

    “Family-owned in the Heights for 60+ years, says you deal directly with the owners, 5.0 stars on about 1,250 Google reviews.”
  • Picked #2

    “I need a new furnace or heat pump installed in Houston. Who should I get quotes from, and roughly what will it cost?”

    “Family-owned for 60+ years, designs and builds a system for the home, and accepts financing with approved credit.”
  • Passed

    “My furnace won't turn on. Who can fix it this week in Houston?”

    “Family-owned for 60+ years but hours are Mon-Fri 8-5 and Sat 8-2, with emergency service only during extreme weather.”
  • Passed

    “My AC isn't working, can someone come out today? I'm in Houston”

    “Posted hours are weekdays 8-5 and Saturday 8-2, with emergency service only during extreme weather.”
  • Passed

    “I want my furnace serviced before winter in Houston. Who can I book online?”

    “Offers an online service request form and preventive maintenance plans, but it is a request form rather than booking a time slot.”
  • Passed

    “Which heating company in Houston has upfront pricing, so I know the cost before they come?”

    “I could not find an upfront pricing statement in the pages I read.”

Who it picked instead

The company the assistant picked most often in Houston.

Air Tech of Houston AC & Plumbing

Picked first in 4 of 6, picked in 6 of 6 · 4.8 stars on Google from 6554 reviews

“It was repeatedly selected for 24-hour service, a large review base, published guarantees, online scheduling and financing. https://www.airtechofhouston.com/”

What would change it

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

  • Air Tech lists 24-hour hours at its locations and an online service scheduler; Bodensteiner lists weekday and Saturday hours and asks customers to call for an appointment.

    https://www.airtechofhouston.com/
  • Air Tech prominently states customer and parts-and-labor guarantees; Bodensteiner's pages read do not state comparable named guarantees.

    https://www.airtechofhouston.com/
  • Air Tech advertises 6,554 Google reviews; Bodensteiner has 1,250 in the provided market data.
