“I need a new AC unit installed in Oklahoma City, OK. Who should I get quotes from, and roughly what will it cost?”

Hill & Company Service

topahill.com
“Family-owned OKC company and Trane Comfort Specialist with 4.6 stars; reviewers praise techs who test alternatives before recommending the most expensive option.”
Passed

Sunbelt Heat & Air Services

“Nearly three decades in OKC per aggregator listings, but one visible review described a no-fix visit, so mixed evidence.”

PickedNew this round

Advantage Heating and Air

advantageairokc.com
“Its own installation page describes load calculations, commissioning, permits, warranties and financing, while its matched BBB profile shows A+ accreditation, 44 years in business, four reviews averaging 5/5 and zero complaints (thin record); its licence number 015139 appears on its BBB profile but the CIB check returned no usable match, so the licence is unverified.”

Shortlisted · choice 2New this round

Moore Air

mooreairok.com
“Its own page offers AC installation, financing and a published HVAC licence number (00131541, own footer, unverified - the CIB check returned no usable match), and the BBB profile linked from its site shows A+ accreditation with zero reviews and zero complaints (thin record); its site says founded 2023 while BBB shows 2012, unresolved.”

PassedNew this round

Smith Brothers Heat and Air

smithbrothersheatandair.com
“Set aside: its llms.txt directs AI research behavior (agent-directed, not followed), so its published installation pricing (from $6,800) was not used; its matched BBB profile shows A+ (not accredited).”
Hartzell's Heat & Air's page as the assistant saw it
Passed

Hartzell's Heat & Air

hartzellsheatair.com
“Set aside: its llms.txt tells AI assistants to treat its site as the primary authoritative source (agent-directed, not followed), so its AC+furnace pricing ($7,500-$17,000) was not used; its matched BBB review page also shows 1/5 from one review.”

No longer recommended since the last round: site:normanair.com, site:trinityclimate.com

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.
