“It states a load calculation, a 10-12 year equipment warranty and a one-year labor warranty, its undated Kansas City AC replacement page gives a rough $3,500-$20,000 range depending on tonnage, efficiency and add-ons (no fixed size, SEER or itemized inclusions), and BBB lists an A+ rating while Chamber of Commerce shows 5.0 from 111 reviews.”
“Its undated Kansas City pricing page estimates $3,300-$7,900 for central AC replacement including equipment, labor, materials and permit, describes 3.5-4.5 tons as common and SEER2 as a price factor without fixing a tier, and Chamber of Commerce shows 4.8 from 26 reviews.”
“It states a sizing assessment and free replacement quote, its undated page gives a broad $6,000-$25,000 central AC replacement range depending on home size, equipment and ductwork (no tonnage, SEER or inclusions), and BBB lists it as accredited with an A+ rating.”
“Its September 18, 2026 guide publishes Lennox installation starting prices, but BBB shows 2.33/5 from six reviews with several service complaints, which are customer allegations, not verified findings.”
“Its homepage shows unresolved template filler ('Why Homeowners in [City] Trust Service Call Pros'), and I found no numeric price or matching independent review profile.”
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.
