Houston Air Pros

houstonairprostx.com
“It has a Cypress install page and lists license TACLA #78362E, and its FAQ says a new AC in Houston typically runs $4,500-$15,000+ (average home $6,500-$12,000, its own general Houston figure, no unit size stated); I found no independent review page for it.”

The General Heating & Air

“I opened only its cost article, which says full-system replacement runs $11,000-$45,000 (most $14,000-$22,000, its own claim, including duct and electrical work), so it is not an AC-only price and I did not assess it as a provider.”

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 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.

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