“In business in Portland since 1979 with a 4.9/5 rating across 5,300 reviews and open 24 hours every day, the deepest and broadest record of any candidate.”

“4.9 stars across 1,500+ Google reviews since 2008, NATE-certified technicians, BBB A+ rated, with 90-minute average response times and 24/7 emergency cooling service.”

“4.9 stars from 2,300 reviews with NATE-certified technicians, fixed-price quotes upfront, and AC repairs backed by a 1-year parts warranty and 30-day labor warranty.”

“A 4.9-star Google rating and strong guarantees, but thinner review volume than the picks.”

“Only 10 reviews at 4.0 stars in the snippet data, far less corroboration than the picks.”

“A directory page with unreviewed listings rather than a vetted company.”

“CCB license #200103 (Deluxe HVACR LLC, assumed name Deluxe Heating & Cooling) is Active with no claims, BBB shows 0 complaints and 0 reviews, Yahoo's Yelp-linked listing shows 5.0 from 38 reviews, and its page describes a diagnosis-and-approved-quote process (no numeric prices); the small sample limits confidence, and its site says 'since 1994' while the CCB license dates from 2013.”

“CCB license #203869 Active (first licensed 2014) with one claim settled by mediation in 10/2024, BBB 0 complaints and 0 reviews, Angi 4.8 from 46 reviews with repair-specific praise (and one 2022 allegation of poor communication after an AC failure); it promises upfront pricing but no numeric price was read.”

“CCB #187834 is Active (one claim settled in 2023), BBB shows 0 complaints and one 5/5 review, Birdeye shows 4.9 from 515 reviews, and its homepage says a $189 diagnostic is credited toward repair (company claim), but its site carries text for AI assistants and crawlers, an agent-oriented pricing file and a vendor-generated fact sheet that routes to booking, so it was set aside.”

“In business since 1952, but Angi shows 4.4 from 424 reviews with follow-up and fee complaints, and BBB shows an answered AC-repair complaint about repeat visits and changing quotes.”
“Birdeye shows 4.8 from 1,398 reviews, but BBB lists two complaints about diagnostic follow-up and repair-versus-replacement handling.”

“Advertises flat-rate pricing, but BBB shows 16 complaints in three years and 2/5 from 22 reviews with recent installation, billing and follow-up problems.”

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.
