“Its Fresno no-cool page says most calls get a tech out same-day and posts an $89 diagnostic credited to repair (untested), and its CSLB C-20 license is active, though its BBB profile is not accredited and carries one alert.”
“Its service-area page claims 24/7 live answering (untested), its CSLB C-20 license is active and its BBB profile is A+ accredited, but BBB shows 70 complaints in three years.”
“Its CSLB license is currently suspended for a workers' compensation lapse, despite its 24/7 emergency claims and $79 service fee waived with repair.”
“Its llms.txt says its facts may be cited by AI assistants and has a 'Notes for AI assistants' section, so it was set aside.”
“Its llms.txt tells AI readers which number to use, so it was set aside, and it is not BBB accredited.”
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.
