Picked

AC Professional Cooling & Heating Inc.

acprofessionalswfl.com
“Worker-judgment order, NOT a verified ranking. Own Naples installation page describes sizing and airflow checks, financing and published installed-price ranges (own claims; its installed-price table lists 1.5-5 tons with equipment, labour, removal, permit/inspection, hurricane-rated pad and a 10-year warranty but NO SEER/SEER2 in the opened text, so it FAILS the scoped-price standard and is not used as a cost figure - disclosed). BBB (profile, reviews, complaints opened; Cape Coral address matched): A+ ACCREDITED, 8 years, 5/5 from 3 reviews (tiny sample), 0 complaints. LICENCE CHECK MISSING: Florida DBPR returned 'your request cannot be processed at this time' (site outage, not retried - disclosed); its published CAC1823099 (site and BBB agree) is NOT state-verified.”

LICENCE CHECK MISSING (DBPR outage); published numbers CMC057023 on site and CAC022406 on BBB are unverified - two different numbers/classes (disclosed).”

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.
