“Its page says its office is in Stone Oak (16620 San Pedro, Suite 248, near 78260), names a GM with 30 years in the trade, and says Carrier Factory Authorized; the 30-minute arrival claim is self-reported.”
“Its repair page offers a 365-day no-risk repair guarantee (free redo for up to a year) and shows 376 reviews with recent dated ones, all self-displayed on its own site; it is not 78260-specific.”
“Lists 78260 and licenses (TACLB 128625E) with 24/7 emergency claim, but its office is at 78201 and the page is mostly neighborhood marketing with no repair pricing or guarantee.”
“Claims 20+ years, NATE-certified techs, 99% same-day and a guarantee, but only part of the page was read and its repair cost figures are generic estimates, not a Stone Oak-specific advantage.”
“Fetched but not read closely enough to rely on any claim; the only rating seen (4.8 from 10,366) came from a snippet-only Exa Places listing, so it was not picked.”
“Appeared only in a search-snippet aggregator listing (ratings there unverified, listing not opened), so they were not evaluated.”

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.
