Affiliate Disclosure
Verified HVAC Data is, and is intended to remain, a free resource. To cover the cost of building and maintaining it, we earn (or plan to earn) commissions two ways: retailer affiliate commissions on DIY-purchasable equipment and supplies, and referral fees from installer lead-gen partners when a reader requests an install quote. This is standard affiliate and lead-generation marketing, disclosed here in compliance with FTC guidelines.
What this means in practice
- Some links may earn us a commission or referral fee if you buy or request a quote through them, at no extra cost to you.
- These relationships will never determine which equipment appears in the product database, how it's ranked in a "best" guide, or what specs are shown. Ranking is strictly by the stated, verifiable metric — computed the same way for every unit regardless of any commercial relationship.
- No brand, retailer, or contractor can pay for a better ranking, a featured placement, or removal of unfavorable data.
- We clearly mark commercial links as such once they exist. Our machine-readable endpoints (the dataset, llms.txt) carry no affiliate parameters.
Where we stand today
Product and "best" pages currently show specs and computed costs with no outbound retailer or lead-gen links — we haven't set up affiliate tagging yet. When that changes, this page will be updated and the "last updated" date above will move.
