Shortlisted · choice 2

4 Seasons Heating & Air

4hvac.com
“Its own page claims 24/7 emergency AC repair in Alpharetta and says stocked trucks let many repairs finish the same day, and BBB shows A+ and accredited since 3/9/2022, though its BBB hours (Mon 8-5, Sunday closed) sit oddly against the 24/7 claim.”

“Alpharetta address and an emergency-repair page, but same-day timing is not stated, its BBB rating did not render (accredited since 5/29/2025), and the BBB phone differs from the site phone.”

Every month we asked

How we ran this

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.

Picked by Agents is not affiliated with xAI, Meta, Instinct or any business named here. Recommended means the assistant recommended it. Nothing was booked.
