“It has the strongest mix of evidence I found: it says it has a 4.9 rating from more than 2,000 Las Vegas reviews, holds NV license #0085640, and publishes a 5-year labor and 10-year parts warranty; BBB separately shows it A+ rated, accredited since 2019, with 0 complaints.”
“It has been in business the longest of my picks (started 3/31/2011, BBB accredited since 2012), BBB shows it A+ with 0 complaints and lists both its HVAC and plumbing licenses (C-21 #0075849, C-1D #0078611), and its own site shows a $79 diagnostic price and says it has 858+ Google reviews at 4.8.”
“A review-aggregator site shows 4.9 across 692 reviews with typical price ranges, BBB shows it A+ with 0 complaints and in business since 2016, and its own site lists C-21 #0080853 and C-1D #0081308 plus 24/7 service.”
“BBB shows it A+ and its site lists licenses #0078689 and #0081121, but BBB also shows 6 complaints in 3 years, including unresolved warranty disputes, and the only source I found for its huge Google count (4.9 from 7,417+) was a competitor's page.”
“The search snippet showed Yelp 4.9 from 342 reviews and many honest-price comments, but the Yelp page and its own website wouldn't load, so I couldn't check its license or warranties.”
“The search snippet showed Yelp 4.8 from 412 reviews, contractor #0082337, and 20 years in business, but the Yelp fetch came back empty, so I couldn't confirm any of it.”
“Angi shows 5.0 from 167 reviews, 14 years in business and license #0076949, but the newest reviews on the page are from 2022, it charges a trip fee, and it says it offers no emergency service.”
“It is family-owned and has been around since 1993, but the search snippet showed only 4.5 from 82 reviews, including a complaint about slow response to a new customer, and I did not open the page itself.”
“I only saw a search snippet (Thumbtack 5.0 from 96 reviews), didn't open the page, and found no license or years-in-business information.”
“I only saw a search snippet (4.9 from 158 reviews on a lesser-known aggregator), with no license or BBB information checked.”
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.
