“Its site says it offers 24/7 emergency AC repair including holidays with technicians often arriving in about an hour, it is a long-established local company in Worthington that prints Ohio HVAC license HV.49111, and BBB rates it A+ (accredited since 1969) with 4.62/5 across 188 reviews.”
“Its Columbus AC page offers same-day and 24/7 emergency repair from a Columbus office, and BBB rates it A+ with 4.55/5 across 235 reviews and lists Ohio HVAC license HV.48313 expiring 6/20/2027, though it had 31 complaints in 3 years.”
“Its Columbus page says it takes emergency calls 24/7 and prints Ohio license #50550 from a Lewis Center office, and BBB rates it A+ with 0 complaints, though it has 0 BBB reviews and BBB lists weekday hours of 7 AM to 5 PM (which still covers a Monday afternoon call).”
“It is a solid backup with a 24/7 claim, a Columbus base and BBB A+ with 5 complaints, but no Ohio license number appears on its site or BBB profile and its only 2 BBB reviews average 1/5.”
“It claims 24/7 service and prints an Ohio license number, but BBB reviews average 1.44/5 across 18 with 30 complaints in 3 years.”
“BBB shows 690 complaints in 3 years and 1.95/5 across 382 reviews, and it lists no license number.”
“It advertises a same-day guarantee from Grove City, but BBB reviews average 1.61/5 across 33 with 37 complaints in 3 years, and no license number is shown.”
“It is Dayton-based, and BBB currently gives it no rating with a pattern-of-complaints alert (33 complaints in 3 years), even though it claims same-day service with no after-hours fees.”
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.
