How do I find out what AI assistants say about my HVAC company?

Run an AI visibility audit. Vaunted asks the major AI engines the questions your customers ask — like 'My AC died, who should I call?' — and grades every answer: whether you're mentioned, how high, in what tone, and which competitors are named instead.

Why do AI assistants recommend the big HVAC franchises instead of my company?

The engines recommend businesses they can read: structured website data, explicit '24/7 emergency service' language, reviews, and directory presence. Large outfits publish all of that; most independent shops don't. That's fixable — it's legibility, not size.

AI visibility for HVAC companies: the emergency question is winner-take-all

When someone's AC dies in a heat wave, they don't browse ten websites. They ask an AI assistant who to call — and the machine answers with three or four names, phone numbers included. Everyone else might as well be closed.

What actually happens today

“Who should I hire for a furnace replacement in Raleigh, NC?”

It named Comfort Monster Heating & Air, Air Experts Heating & Cooling, Modern Mechanical — and nobody else. Every other business in that market was absent from the answer.

We asked ChatGPT this on October 7, 2026. We ask again every morning.

The strange part: sometimes nobody wins

"Who's the best HVAC company in Phoenix?"

On the “best HVAC company” question, Google's AI Overview didn't even appear — Google stayed quiet and fell back to regular listings. When the AI lane is empty, the answer defaults to whoever the machines can read best. That's the opening: most independent shops haven't given the engines anything to read.

From our real audits: Across every business we have audited — ours included — only one has ever been named organically when a buyer asked for a recommendation. Best score so far: 37.6 out of 100.
