PickedNew this round
CABS Heating & Air Conditioning
cabshvac.com“Its CSLB C20 license (matched by address) is current and active, its BBB profile is A+ accredited with two answered complaints in three years and none in the last 12 months, and its own page claims repair of all AC makes and 24/7 emergency service (untested).”
Passed
Jaguar Heating & Air, Inc.
jaguarheatingandair.com“Its CSLB license is active but shows a pending disciplinary action warning, despite an A+ BBB rating with four complaints in three years.”
PassedNew this round
Kendrick Heating & Air
kendrickhvac.com“Set aside because its llms.txt tells AI assistants how to name, cite and describe the company.”
PassedNew this round
PRO MAX HVAC & Appliance Repair
promaxhvac.com“Set aside conservatively because its llms.txt directs readers to answer pages and a machine-readable catalog for direct responses.”

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.
