“Spencer has been based in Irving (2928 W Story Rd) since 1960, repairs furnaces and heat pumps, advertises a 24/7 emergency line that typically arrives in 2 to 4 hours plus online booking, holds TDLR license 115636 active until 10/06/2027, is rated A+ by BBB with only 2 complaints in 3 years, and shows about 1,250 Google reviews averaging 4.9 in directories.”
“Frosty's is about 10 miles away in Farmers Branch, lists Irving ZIP codes, and has the clearest pricing I found (an $85 diagnostic waived if you go ahead with the repair, a published flat-rate price list such as $400 for an ignitor, 1 to 2 hour weekday response in Irving and $250 after hours), with TDLR license 126718 active until 02/07/2027 and a BBB A+ rating with 2 complaints.”
“Tempo is based in Irving (911 Maryland Dr), repairs gas and electric furnaces, heat pumps and mini-splits, says it is available 24/7, holds TDLR license 118470 active until 02/25/2027, is BBB A+ accredited and shows about 1,850 Google reviews at 4.7, but it ranks third because several of its 9 BBB complaints are about slow response and missed callbacks.”
“It has an Irving office, active license 132623, a same-day service guarantee and about 1,207 Google reviews at 4.9, but its heating page is boilerplate (it mentions hot water and still shows a 2022 coupon) and its headquarters BBB profile has 14 complaints in 3 years about pressure to sign, billing disputes and an unexpected trip charge.”
“It has an Irving office, same-day winter appointments, written quotes and about 4,200 to 4,350 Google reviews at 4.7, but BBB shows 16 complaints in 3 years (mostly service or warranty disputes) and its license 34473 expires soon, on 11/18/2026.”
“It is a family business in Irving since 1992 with active license 94306 and about 231 Google reviews at 4.9, but it lists Monday to Friday 8 to 5 hours with only a vague note about after-hours service, publishes no pricing, and I did not check its BBB profile.”
“It is a small Irving company (723 N Britain Rd) with active license 151834, furnace and heat pump repair, call-or-text same-day service and about 100 Google reviews at 4.9, but it has a much shorter track record, no published service fee, and I did not check its BBB profile.”
“It has an Irving address, active license 28141 and about 64 to 74 Google reviews at 5.0, but its website would not load, so I could not confirm furnace service, hours or pricing.”
“Its page reads like a generic city template with a toll-free 888 number and no local address, and I found no Texas A/C license under that business name.”
“It claims same-day service with appointments until midnight and has an active license (29023) in Dallas County, but I saw it only in search results and did not confirm its office location, reviews or BBB record.”
“Its offices are in Garland, McKinney, Dallas and Carrollton, its Irving page shows a Houston-area 281 phone number, and I saw it only in search results, so it looks like a regional template page rather than a local Irving shop.”
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.
