“Houston AC company since 2002 per its site, BBB A+ (accredited since 2011) with no complaints, and an active TDLR license that matches the number on its site, but only 2 BBB reviews so the quality evidence is thin.”
“BBB A+ with 4.75/5 across 435 reviews, but 52 complaints in 3 years (16 in the last 12 months) and its TDLR license number was not confirmed.”
“BBB A+ with no complaints but only 2 reviews, generic SEO filler on the site, and no TDLR match by name.”
“Its site claims 6,593 reviews, but BBB shows 1.6/5 from 72 reviews and 142 complaints in 3 years (54 in the last 12 months).”
“Strong site and an active TDLR license, but the license number differs from the one on its site and no BBB profile was found, so there is no independent complaint or review source.”
“BBB entries found were in other cities and no TDLR match by name; the site's FAQ copy also appears on another company's site.”
“Thin ZIP landing page with no tenure, pricing or independent reviews found.”
“Franchise page whose all-5-star review block contains spam text, so it was not trusted.”
“BBB A+ and no recent complaints but only 1 review, and its own site was not opened.”
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.
