E. Smith Heating & Air Conditioning

esmithair.com
“The only company found that publishes its own installed price range ($7,295-$16,225+ for AC condenser and coil systems, stated as their cost) and it explicitly lists Roswell in its service area, with NATE-certified techs, family ownership since 1962 and GA license CN211625 shown on the page.”

Shortlisted · choice 3

Bardi Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, Electrical

bardi.com
“Serving Roswell since 1989 with a Roswell office (11205 Alpharetta Hwy), a detailed Roswell-specific page naming the neighborhoods it covers, free second-opinion estimates on replacements, and upfront-pricing and warranty commitments.”
Air Control Heating and Air's page as the assistant saw it
Passed

Air Control Heating and Air

aircontrolgeorgia.com
“Roswell-headquartered since 1993 with strong self-displayed reviews, but the same testimonial text appears twice under different names and a 'Voted Best Local HVAC Company By USA Today' badge looks dubious, which undercut trust.”
Passed

Coolray (with Mr. Plumber / BriteBox)

coolray.com
“Long-serving (since 1966) and clearly covers Roswell, but publishes no installation pricing of its own and the page is generic multi-brand coverage rather than Roswell-specific install detail.”
Passed

New Level Mechanical

newlevelmechanical.com
“Good Roswell-specific install page (Manual J sizing, permit handling, 10-yr parts warranty) but no published prices and a thinner track record than the picks.”
JT Heating & Air's page as the assistant saw it
Passed

JT Heating & Air

jtheatair.com
“Search-snippet view only (not opened in this run): Woodstock-based, offers a 10-year parts/labor warranty and a beat-any-rate claim, but 'lowest prices guaranteed' marketing with no actual published prices.”
Passed

Bob's Heating and Air

“Directory view only (Exa Places snippet, not their own site): small Roswell shop (108 Oak St) rated 4.9 from 61 ratings, too little independent substance to rank over the picks.”
Passed

“Directory view only (Exa Places snippet): 5.0 from 173 ratings per the directory, but no own-site page opened and nothing on installation pricing.”

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 September 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.
