Picked

Spencer Air Conditioning & Heating

https://www.bbb.org/us/tx/irving/profile/air-conditioning-contractor/spencer-air-conditioning-heating-0875-35000370
“It is based in Irving and had the best combination of rating and review volume I found (4.9 stars from about 1,250 Google reviews per two directories), plus a BBB A+ with accreditation since 2007, only 2 BBB complaints in 3 years, a 4.65 of 5 average from 34 BBB reviews, and an active Texas A/C contractor license (TACLA115636C) that I confirmed.”
Tempo Air (Tempo, Inc.)'s page as the assistant saw it
Shortlisted · 2nd choice

Tempo Air (Tempo, Inc.)

tempoair.com
“It is an employee-owned company based in Irving since 1966, with 4.7 stars from about 1,880 Google reviews per directories, a BBB A+ with accreditation, 9 BBB complaints in 3 years, advertised warranty coverage of up to 10 years, and an active license (TACLA118470C) that I confirmed.”
Shortlisted · 3rd choice

American Air Customs, Inc.

americanaircustomsinc.com
“It is a small family-owned Irving shop in business since the early 1990s, with 4.9 stars from 231 Google reviews per a directory, a BBB A+ with zero complaints and an active license (TACLB94306E) that I confirmed, which makes it a good pick if you would rather have an owner-run business than a big fleet.”
Passed

Milestone Electric, A/C, & Plumbing

callmilestone.com
“It has 4.9 stars from about 1,200 Google reviews for its Irving office, a BBB A+ and a confirmed license (TACLA00132623E), but it is a large multi-trade company, and search results pointed to repeated reports of aggressive upselling and commission-driven sales.”
Passed

Prime AC & Heat

primeacandheat.com
“It is licensed (TACLA58877E, confirmed) and clear on price (a $49 diagnostic waived with the repair), but it is based in Lewisville, works only for owner-occupants (no home warranties), and its 1,320-review figure combines several sites rather than being one checkable rating.”
Passed

AirCo

airco.com
“It is licensed (TACLB012263E, confirmed as Air Co Ltd) and has been around since 1990, but it is based in Fort Worth and I found no reliable review counts or BBB details.”
Passed

Aval AC & Heating Inc

birdeye.com
“It is Irving-based and licensed (license 151834, found by name search), with 4.9 stars from about 117 reviews, but it has far fewer reviews and a thinner track record than the picks, and I found no BBB information.”
Passed

Frosty's HVAC

frostyshvac.com
“It is licensed (TACLA126718E, confirmed) and advertises flat rates, but it is a small operation whose only rating I saw was its own claim of 4.9 stars from 143 Google reviews, and I saw that page only in search results.”
Passed

Brothers HVAC, AC & Heating Repair

ratingsnearme.com
“It shows 5.0 stars from 373 reviews but is based in Carrollton, and I could not match it to one specific state license because many licensed businesses have 'Brothers' in their names.”
Passed

Texas Air Conditioning and Heating

serviceagent.ai
“It is Irving-based but has a lower rating from few reviews (4.5 stars from 45 to 47), and I only matched a likely license by name (license 12274) without confirming it is the same business.”
Passed

Irving HVAC Solutions / Irving Heating & Cooling / Irving HVAC Services

serviceagent.ai
“These listings use generic city names, have no websites, and two use out-of-area phone numbers (254 and 210), which looks like lead-generation or referral listings rather than real local contractors.”

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 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.

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