PickedNew this round

Reliance Air Services, Inc.

relianceairservices.com

“'Best' is the worker's judgment of limited opened evidence, NOT a verified ranking (basis: own-site licence number, a published fee, years in business, a verifiable BBB profile, how well own claims could be checked). Own page lists licence CAC1819474 and publishes '$99 standard AC diagnostic fee', waived when you approve the repair with a minimum repair amount applying (SCOPED own-page figure, diagnostic only - not repair pricing). BBB profile, reviews and complaints opened (Sarasota location profile, NOT corporate-wide; address matches its own site, 8251 15th St E): A+, accredited since 5/20/2020, 9 yrs, 1 review (5 stars - thin sample), 1 complaint in 3 yrs filed in the LAST 12 months about a disputed $99 diagnostic fee and repair disagreement - both sides contested, resolution unclear (disclosed). BBB shows the same licence number with expiry 8/30/2028 (BBB says from DBPR records - corroboration, NOT a DBPR check; DBPR itself failed - disclosed). Own claim: same-day if called before 2 PM or the diagnostic is free (unverified).”

D & D Air Conditioning, Inc.

ddair.com

“Rests on OWN-SITE claims alone (disclosed - thin). Own site says it has served Sarasota since 1986 and shows licence CAC1816752 and a Sarasota address (2160 Princeton St) - ALL unverified (no BBB profile opened; DBPR failed - disclosed). A Bing map-pack snippet showed only 2.5/5 from 40 ratings - a SEARCH SNIPPET, not an opened source, NOT used as quality evidence (disclosed).”

Shortlisted · choice 3New this round

Del-Air Heating & Air Conditioning

delair.com

“Rests on OWN-SITE claims alone (disclosed - thin). Own Sarasota page says it has served the area since 1983 and lists licences EC13013085, CAC1813963 and CFC057524 - ALL unverified (no BBB or licence confirmation; DBPR failed). CAVEAT: the footer address is the Lake Mary CORPORATE office, not Sarasota (disclosed).”

PassedNew this round

ALECO AC & Heating Experts

elevatemyhome.com

“alecoair.com REDIRECTED to Elevate My Home (Fort Myers/Naples offices) and the page's reviews mention a merging of companies; it lists CAC1822786, and a Bing snippet showed 4.5/5 from 41 ratings (snippet, not opened), but no Sarasota office, BBB profile or licence was confirmed - the entity could NOT be vouched for (disclosed).”
