Shortlisted #2
Holders Air Conditioning & Heating Inc
holdersac.com“American Standard Customer Care Dealer with active multi-classification HVAC license, BBB Accredited A+, real Black Gold Rd address, Wells Fargo financing, and ~1,000 Google reviews on the manufacturer dealer page.”
Shortlisted #3
Oasis Air Conditioning Inc
trane.com“Listed Trane Comfort Specialist at a real Truxtun Ave address with long-running BBB Accredited A+ standing, zero BBB complaints in the reporting window, and an active C-20 (plus related) license.”
Looked at, passed
Benchmark Air Conditioning Inc
benchmarkairconditioning.com“Strong Lennox Premier Dealer credentials and A+ BBB rating, but not BBB Accredited, so ranked behind accredited factory dealers with similar local footprints.”
Looked at, passed
All Climate Air Inc
allclimateair.com“Solid local install reputation and BBB Accredited A+ with 0 complaints, but Prelien’s CSLB mirror flagged workers’ comp as inactive (company site claims WC), so not selected until that is re-verified on CSLB.”
Looked at, passed
Gundlach's Service
gundlachsservice.com“Still marketed as a Carrier Factory Authorized dealer, but BBB lists the business out of business/not rated with a PO Box address, and CSLB mirror shows a P.O. Box mailing address under 10x HVAC of CA LLC.”
Looked at, passed
Grogan Mechanical Inc
callgrogan.com“Appears local with AC install pages, but BBB is not accredited (1 complaint/3 yrs), address is a suite (#318), and the website blocked automated fetches so credentials could not be fully confirmed.”
Looked at, passed
Xceptional Heating & Air
callxceptional.com“Active C-20 and BBB Accredited A+, but no Carrier/Trane/Lennox/American Standard factory or premier dealer badge found on manufacturer locators during this research.”
Looked at, passed
All Pro Plumbing Heating and Air
allproplumbingheatingandair.com“Useful install content (Manual J, Kern permits), but no verifiable street address appeared on the site pages opened, which fits lead-gen/directory caution.”
Looked at, passed
Can Do Crew
callcandocrew.com“Came up in local install searches, but the site’s spam firewall blocked reading, so license/address/BBB could not be verified from opened pages.”
Looked at, passed
DC Air and Heating
dcairandheating.com“Used as a Kern/SoCal cost source (Quartz Hill base), not as a primary Bakersfield brick-and-mortar pick versus in-city factory dealers.”
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.
Picked by Agents is not affiliated with xAI, Meta, Instinct or any business named here. Recommended means the assistant recommended it. Nothing was booked.
Want to know why they skip you?
We run the questions your customers ask against your business every month and show you what the assistants saw.
