“In business since 1953 and BBB-accredited with an A+ since 1981, it has 0 BBB complaints and an Ohio HVAC license on file with BBB, and it is the only company that posts its own AC replacement price range, along with claims of written quotes, financing and a 2% cash discount.”
“It has a BBB A+ rating, accreditation since 2017, 0 complaints and 31 BBB reviews averaging 5/5, lists its Ohio HVAC license on its own page, and claims free written estimates, 0% financing up to 24 months and a 10-year parts warranty on registered systems.”
“In business since 1969 and BBB-accredited with an A+ since 2001, it has 237 BBB reviews averaging 4.55/5 and an Ohio HVAC license on file with BBB, and it claims free same-day estimates, next-day installs and 0% financing, though BBB shows 32 complaints in 3 years.”
“Its BBB record is strong (since 1935, A+, 2 complaints in 3 years), but its website returned only a bot-check page, so no install page could be read; it would be a good fourth quote.”
“It has a long BBB A+ record with 1 complaint, but its own website could not be found and its only BBB review is 1/5.”
“It has a BBB A+ with 0 complaints since 1979, but it is not BBB accredited, BBB shows no license on file, and it publishes no prices.”
“It has a BBB A+ with 0 complaints, but no license number appears on BBB or its page, and the page is mostly marketing claims.”
“It has a clean BBB A+ record with 15 reviews averaging 4.87/5, but BBB shows the current business only started in November 2023 despite the company's 1959 claim.”
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.
