Picked
Lightning Service, Inc.
lightningserviceinc.com“Its address-matched BBB profile (Metairie, not city proper) shows A+ accreditation since 1991 with zero complaints but only four reviews, and the state board lists an active Commercial License to 3/4/2027 with electrical and mechanical classes; its 600+ five-star reviews and family-owned-since-1978 claims are its own.”
Shortlisted · choice 2
Keefe's Air Conditioning Heating Electrical Generator & Plumbing
keefes.com“Its address-matched BBB profile (Harvey, not city proper) shows A+ accreditation since 1992, 47 years and 4.26/5 from 156 reviews, and the state board lists an active Commercial License to 1/21/2029 with electrical and mechanical classes, but it carries 21 BBB complaints in 3 years (8 in the last 12 months) and a separate Home Improvement Registration shows suspended/expired 7/12/2025.”
Passed
New Orleans Mechanical Pros
neworleansmechanicalpros.com“Its own site claims LA Lic. #75402 and a 5.0 Google rating, but the state-board name lookup returned no result (possibly filed under a different legal name) and its BBB pages were not opened within the cap, so licence and reputation are unverified; an earlier accepted run also set it aside over its llms.txt.”
Passed
Airsmith's Cooling & Heating
airsmithsac.com“Its own site describes it as based in Mandeville and serving the Northshore rather than New Orleans proper, and neither BBB nor licence was checked within the cap (its deep page hit an unsolved browser-check interstitial).”
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 October 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.
