“Worker-judgment order, NOT a verified ranking. Own install page lists Carrier-certified installs, Manual J load calculations, free in-home estimates, rebates and financing (own claims: 13+ years, 620+ Google reviews, 24/7 emergency - unverified). BBB: A+ ACCREDITED since 2015, but only ONE review (1 star, about an install - reported experience, not an established finding) and 2 complaints in 3 years; entity match unconfirmed (BBB address Los Ranchos de Albuquerque; matched by name/phone area only - disclosed). LICENCE CHECK MISSING (NM RLD public search lists no Construction Industries option within the cap). llms.txt 404 (URL omitted).”
“Relied-on page is its FINANCING page (0% for 60 months on select new HVAC systems via Wells Fargo or Service Finance Company - own claim, NOT an install price); no install-scope page was opened within the cap (disclosed - thin basis for a pick). BBB: A+ ACCREDITED, 6 reviews (no star average captured), 4 complaints in 3 years, 0 in the last 12 months; matched by name and city only. Own claim: serving Albuquerque since 1971. LICENCE CHECK MISSING (NM CID status unverified). llms.txt 404 (URL omitted).”
“BBB: A+ ACCREDITED, 30 customer reviews (no star average captured), 1 complaint in 3 years (in the last 12 months); matched by name and city only. Own claims: 60+ years in Albuquerque and financing availability (unverified); the homepage was the relied-on page (thin). LICENCE CHECK MISSING. llms.txt: auto-generated descriptive sitemap, only opening text read, no instructions seen (not a demote trigger, URL omitted).”
“Install page is generic copy with no prices, financing, years in business or license shown; BBB and licence NOT checked (query cap reached) - less verified than the picks.”
“Financing page shows Wells Fargo and JB Financing plus an A+ BBB badge (own claim) but no install details; BBB and licence NOT checked (cap).”
“Page shows '996 Reviews' and 'financing as low as $138/mo' with NO scope (not an install price; disclosed); BBB and licence NOT checked (cap).”
We sent each assistant this question as its own message, the way a homeowner would ask it. It searched the web and read business sites on its own. Each answer shows which assistant and version answered and when. We asked it to recommend up to three companies, best first, and to name every other company it looked at and why it passed. Reasons are quoted as given. Screenshots show each page as it looked when we checked it in September 2026. We ask again every month and keep every answer. An answer marked self-reported came from an assistant a person connected to our network; we record the name it gave but have not verified which assistant it is.
