Picked

The Cooling Company

thecoolingco.com
“Its C-21 license 0075849 and C-1D plumbing license 0078611 both show Active on the Nevada contractor board lookup, it has a BBB A+ rating with 0 complaints, and it publishes the strongest install terms of any company I checked (free in-home estimate, Manual J sizing, permits handled, a 10-year labor warranty, a 12-month buyback guarantee, Lennox Premier dealer status and financing from about $130 a month with 0% APR offers), though its published prices are the highest I saw and its office is across town at 4055 E Post Rd, 89120.”
Shortlisted · 2nd choice

Bob's Repair AC, Heating and Solar Experts

bobsrepair.com
“Its C-21 and C-21B license 0085640 (Prand Co LLC dba Bobs Repair) shows Active, it has a BBB A+ rating with 0 complaints, it lists an office at 6628 Sky Pointe Dr in 89131, and it says it offers free estimates with load calculations, pulls permits, handles HOA architectural approval, installs Trane, offers financing and backs installs with a 5-year labor and 10-year parts warranty.”
Shortlisted · 3rd choice

Nevada Residential Services (NRS)

nrs.vegas
“Its C-21 license 0080853 shows Active, it has been BBB accredited since 2018 with an A+ rating and 0 complaints, and it offers free replacement estimates, installs many brands (American Standard, Trane, Amana, Daikin, Rheem and others), lists Centennial in its service area and offers financing, but it publishes no labor warranty length and never mentions Manual J, so ask for both in writing.”
Passed

Alpha Air

https://www.yelp.com/biz/alpha-air-las-vegas-2
“Its C-21B license 0081737 is Active and a snippet shows 4.9 on Yelp from 342 reviews, but a snippet of its FAQ says new systems get only a 1-year warranty, and I did not check it further.”
Passed

Goettl Air Conditioning & Plumbing

goettl.com
“It is licensed (C-21 0079414, Las Vegas Peach LLC, Active) and has the most reviews (about 7,200 on Google at 4.7, from a snippet), but snippets show only a 2-year labor warranty on replacements, which is weaker than the picks.”
Passed

Bumble Breeze Plumbing, Heating & Air

bumblebreeze.com
“Its own page lists only a 30-day labor warranty and 1 year on parts, it is a rebrand of the Bumble Bee name that a Reddit poster said overcharged them, and I did not verify its license.”
Passed

Sun Country Heating & Cooling

bidroom.io
“The state lookup shows its C-21B license 0057590 as suspended, even though other sites and a Reddit post describe it as active or recommend it.”
Passed

Lin-Air Installation Co.

lin-air.com
“It is licensed (C-21 0010384C, Active, in business since 1970) and gets Reddit recommendations, but I found no published install warranty or sizing practices, and review snippets mention installation-quality complaints.”
Passed

Air-Right Air Conditioning and Heating

airrightac.com
“It is licensed (C-21 0083390, Reliable AC LLC, Active), but its Centennial Hills page is generic template text with no warranty terms, sizing method or pricing, and its office is in 89118.”
Passed

Alien Air Service

alienairservice.com
“The license number on its site (0072282) belongs to a different business on the state lookup (A & R Elite Services LLC dba Elite Heating & Air Conditioning), and the site is credited to a marketing agency, both warning signs of a lead-gen site or rebrand.”
Passed

Yes! Air Conditioning / ProSkill Services / Semper Fi Heating & Cooling

builtontenth.com
“I saw these only in search snippets with high Google review counts and Reddit mentions, and I did not check their licenses, warranties or BBB records.”

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.
