Picked

Automatic Air Conditioning, Heating, Plumbing and Electric

itsautomatic.com
“Its own page claims 24-hour service with a live technician around the clock rather than an explicit same-day promise (its claim, availability today not verified), and its address-matched BBB profile shows accreditation since 1948, A+, and zero complaints, though it publishes no prices and its license was not checked.”
Shortlisted · choice 2

Aloha Air Conditioning & Heating Services

alohaairmemphis.com
“Its own page is headed Same-Day AC Repair (its claim, availability today not verified) and the state license lookup shows its listed license (CMC-C 61868) as active for a Memphis 38117 company, though no BBB profile, stated hours or published fees were found.”
Passed

Hiller Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical

happyhiller.com
“Although its Memphis page claims 24/7 emergency service and its BBB profile is accredited A+, its llms.txt frames its content as citeable company facts and a short FAQ for AI, so it was set aside and its published $79 fee, license claim and BBB data were not relied on.”
Passed

123HVAC

123hvac.net
“It describes itself as a directory that connects callers to unnamed local pros, not an HVAC company that would come out.”
Passed

AC Repair Memphis

acrepairmemphis.com
“Its footer says it is a free referral service for independent contractors, with no company name, license or real address, so it is not a provider.”

Every month we asked

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.
