It forces us to leave out good companies. [Read the full methodology](https://thelocalthree.com/how-we-select/) 1. **We start with everyone.** 86 companies for ac installation & replacement in Sarasota, from public listings and review platforms. 2. **We remove the risky.** No working phone, too few genuine reviews or a weak rating. 3. **We read the record.** Review volume and recency, years in business and the record checks we could confirm. 4. **Editors keep three.** And write down who each one suits best. Selection is never for sale. [How we make money](https://thelocalthree.com/how-we-make-money/).
