“This Denton company has been around since 1969, has been BBB accredited with an A+ since 2005 with no complaints in the last 3 years, rates 4.8 stars from 121 to 131 reviews on ProsGrade and hvacservice.io, holds an active Texas A/C contractor license (#2121, expires 07/2027), and is described as honest by several Denton Reddit users.”
“It has an office just off the Denton Square and an active Texas license (TACLA00120029E), hvacservice.io lists that Denton office at 5.0 stars from 147 reviews, and Denton Reddit users praise its fair prices and say it fixed its own mistake for free, although its new BBB file is not accredited and rated A- only because the business entity is new.”
“This family business run by John and Pat Morrison has been in Denton since 2009, rates 4.8 stars from 46 reviews, holds a BBB A+ with only one closed complaint in 3 years, has an active Texas license in Johnny Morrison's name, and Denton Reddit users say its prices are fair and the owner is hands-on.”
“It is licensed (TACLA139377C), BBB accredited with an A, posts a $50 service call fee, and gets strong Reddit praise, but it only started in June 2024, has very few independent reviews, and some Reddit posts come from friends or its own staff.”
“It is a Denton business started in 1968 with a BBB A+ and no complaints, but it only became accredited in March 2026, rates a slightly lower 4.7 from about 100 reviews, and hvacservice.io notes reviews complaining about unclear pricing and wrong diagnoses.”
“It rates 4.9 from about 359 reviews and is licensed, but its BBB profile (at a Flower Mound address) is not rated and not accredited, and it has paid Featured or Pro placement on ProsGrade, so I ranked the Denton-based firms above it.”
“It is a Denton business since 1999 with 4.7 stars from 326 reviews and a BBB A+, but it is not accredited, one Yahoo listing shows only 2.5 stars from 25 reviews, and its Texas license expires in November 2026.”
“This one-person Denton operation has 5.0 stars from 87 to 89 reviews, a BBB A+ with no complaints, and an active license, but it has only one technician, is not BBB accredited, and keeps weekday 9 to 5 office hours.”
“It has 5.0 stars from 68 reviews and an active license, but its license is registered in Wise County, it is a small crew built around one technician, and I could not find a BBB profile to check.”
“BBB shows 142 closed complaints in 3 years (55 in the last 12 months), a 1.64-star average from 74 BBB reviews, and new ownership as of March 2025, which are serious red flags despite its A+ letter grade.”
“It has a 4.8-star rating from 2,439 reviews, but BBB rates it B- for not answering a complaint, and its website now shows Frymire Home Services' Dallas license (TACLB19506C), which points to an ownership change.”
“It is a Denton business since 1986 with 4.8 stars from about 1,574 reviews and a BBB A+, but it is not accredited, has 2 closed complaints, and several Denton Reddit users warned against it for repeat callbacks and dishonesty.”
“It has a BBB A+, has been accredited since January 2026, and has 40 years in business, but its BBB address is in Carrollton rather than Denton, and I found only one Reddit mention and no independent review count.”
“It has the most transparent pricing I saw ($85 diagnostic waived with repair, plus a flat-rate price table) and an active license, but it is based in Farmers Branch about 40 minutes from Denton, and its 4.9 rating from 143 Google reviews is only what its own site says.”
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.
