Is .Net a good enough TLD for an exact match domain?

[Earnestine Strosin]

So I am looking to build rank and rent sites in my city. 3 different sites, one for HVAC, one for home renovations and one for tree removals.

All the services have [cityname] + [service] .com domains available except for the HVAC one. No exact matches are ranking in any local HVAC serps but both the .com and my countries TLD are taken. So my question is if I take something like .net if it will have the same affect or if I should just ditch it and stick with the other two service sites?

Many will say stick to .com
I don't think it matters.

.com hold value better for resale

If you are ranking and then renting, there may come a time you wish to sell the domains or the entire company
