“It had the best mix of quality and price of the companies I checked, with 92% of 101 Checkbook raters calling it superior at prices 11% below average, BBB A+ accreditation since 1996, Hennepin County service, and a site showing central AC installation as a Bryant Factory Authorized Dealer with 4.8 stars from 453 Google reviews.”
“It combines top quality (91% superior from 127 Checkbook raters) with prices 7% below average, has been BBB A+ accredited since 1988 and in business since 1938, and its own site offers Lennox AC installation with a Minneapolis service page.”
“It is the lowest-priced well-rated option I found (Checkbook shows prices 21% below average and 85% superior from 68 raters), it is based in Minneapolis with a dedicated Trane central AC installation page, and it has been BBB A+ accredited since 2019.”
“It is a strong backup (90% superior from 72 raters, prices 13% below average, BBB A+), but it is farther from Minneapolis and a recent Checkbook comment said the customer was charged more than quoted.”
“Its quality is excellent (91% superior from 437 raters), but Checkbook puts its prices 51% above average.”
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.
