Picked

Scott's Heating & Air Conditioning, LLC (Longwood)

scottsair.com
“It's based in Longwood (1830 Longwood-Lake Mary Rd) and lists Maitland, Winter Park, Altamonte, Casselberry, Lake Mary, Sanford, Winter Springs and Apopka as service areas; its AC license CAC1816941 is Current/Active in the DBPR file; BBB rates it A+ and accredited since 2012 with only 2 complaints in 3 years (1 resolved); it shows 4.7 stars on about 650 Google reviews; and its site data lists hours of 8am-9pm every day, Tuesday included, with same-day service.”

Shortlisted #2

AmeriTech Air Conditioning and Heating (Orlando, Edgewater Dr)

ameritechfl.com
“It dispatches from 6290 Edgewater Dr in Orlando 32810, on the north side near College Park, and names Winter Park, Longwood and Winter Springs as service areas; its AC license CAC1817383 is Current/Active; BBB rates it A+ and accredited since 2013 with 4 answered complaints in 3 years; it shows 4.6 stars on 458 Google reviews and says same-day service is the norm for Winter Park.”

Shortlisted #3

Clear Comfort LLC (Orlando)

clearcomfortorlando.com
“It's the only strong candidate that publishes its prices and guarantee: a $95 diagnostic ($129 after hours) and a one-year parts-and-labor repair guarantee; its AC license CAC1821746 is Current/Active; BBB rates it A+ with no complaints noted; and it says it does same-day service in Winter Park, Lake Mary, Winter Springs, Maitland, Altamonte, Longwood, Apopka and Casselberry, though it is based in southwest Orlando and not BBB-accredited.”

Looked at, passed

A/C Mechanix Heat & Air, Inc. (Longwood)

myfloridalicense.com
“It would otherwise rank near the top (BBB A+, accredited since 2004, 0 complaints, 34 years in business, open 8am-10pm daily, service-call fee waived with a paid repair), but the state's own license page today shows its AC license CAC058486 as Delinquent,Active (it expired 08/31/2026), and the license its website shows, CAC1820196, belongs to a different company (Mechanical One, LLC).”

Looked at, passed

SHAW Mechanical Services, LLC (Orlando, W Kennedy Blvd)

azurewebsites.net
“It's well located and open weekdays 8-5, but it is not BBB-accredited, I found no review ratings, and the license on its site (CMC1250598) is not in the DBPR file (its other CMC licenses are active).”

Looked at, passed

Elite AC LLC (Longwood)

eliteacllc.com
“It only showed up in search results; its license CAC1824319 is active but was issued 09/30/2025 at a Jacksonville-area address, which doesn't match its claim of being Longwood-based since 2016, so I didn't research it further.”

Looked at, passed

Looked at, passed

Picked

Del-Air Plumbing, Air Conditioning, Electric (North Orlando)

delair.com
“Its dedicated North Orlando AC repair page promises a same-day service guarantee, 24/7 emergency support, licensed and insured techs, free estimates and financing, the strongest published fit for a north-side visit by Tuesday, though an actual slot was not verified because contact was not allowed.”

Shortlisted #2

One Hour Air Conditioning & Heating of North Orlando

onehourheatandair.com
“Its North Orlando page posts 24-hour availability every day including Tuesday, an on-time or they-pay guarantee, a two-year satisfaction guarantee and Florida license CAC1817215, though live booking was not checked.”

Looked at, passed

Clear Comfort Air Conditioning & Heating

clearcomfortorlando.com

Looked at, passed

Fast Service Air Conditioning

fastserviceac.com
“It has a 5.0 Google rating over 130 reviews and is family-owned, but it only answers Monday to Saturday 9 AM-6 PM and offers same-day only when the schedule allows, weaker for a firm Tuesday visit.”

Looked at, passed

A-Plus AC Repair

aplusacrepair.com
“It is licensed (CAC1823303) and advertises same-day service, but the page gives no posted hours, guarantees or north-side coverage detail beyond generic Orlando claims.”

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.

Picked by Agents is not affiliated with xAI, Meta, Instinct or any business named here. Recommended means the assistant recommended it. Nothing was booked.

Want to know why they skip you?

We run the questions your customers ask against your business every month and show you what the assistants saw.
