“Publishes a full 2026 installed-price table (central AC replacement $4,500-$8,000, new install with ducts $5,500-$10,000, mini-splits from $3,500), quotes all-in before work starts, and brings 25 years of licensed, insured local experience with free estimates.”
“Philadelphia installer publishing a detailed 2026 cost guide - most full central AC installs run $5,500-$12,500 including equipment and labor - so homeowners can benchmark quotes.”
“NATE/EPA-certified, Carrier-authorized installer offering side-by-side brand comparisons (Carrier, Trane, Rheem, Bryant, Goodman) and warranty registration at handover.”
“Licensed Philadelphia installer with rowhome experience and a $500-off offer, but no published installed-price ranges.”
“Offers central AC replacement but shows no pricing or credential detail on the page reviewed.”
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.
