We asked Instinct this exact question in October 2026. Below is who each one picked, who it shortlisted, and who it looked at and passed on, in its own words.
Europe · Instinct over iMessage · asked 2026-10-14 13:54 UTC
“Its BBB profile shows A+ accreditation (recent, since 3/17/2026), 98 years and 4.7/5 from 262 reviews, though with 16 complaints in 3 years (6 in the last 12 months, including a refund dispute over a $95.79 charge), and its AC page advertises GreenSky financing and a free in-home estimate (its offers); its licence (BBB lists CID 87824 to 11/29/2026) is not verified at source.”
“Its phone-matched BBB profile (Los Ranchos de Albuquerque) shows A+ accreditation since 2015 with 2 complaints in 3 years, but its only BBB review is 1/5 about an install and rebate paperwork, and its 620+ Google reviews figure is its own; its page lists financing and up to $975 in utility rebates (its claims).”
“Its page states a full new-system focus with authorized Carrier and Lennox dealer status, free in-home estimates, upfront pricing, financing and NM licence #390664 (all its own claims, unverified); its phone-matched BBB profile shows 9 years with zero complaints but zero reviews and no accreditation (A+ appears only in the search listing).”
“Its BBB profile shows no accreditation, only 5 years, zero reviews and zero complaints, and its site gives no licence number or install prices - less evidence than the picks.”
“Its site says licensed technicians but gives no licence number, price or financing on the AC page, and no BBB check fit the query cap.”
“Bernalillo-based with mostly plumbing reviews on the page, no price or financing on the AC page, and no BBB check fit the query 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 October 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.
