Editorial Policy
How we keep guides useful and transparent
Every page should help a homeowner make a clearer next decision, not just define a term.
Research standards
Incentive, tax, utility, and safety-related pages should link to official sources when available. When a page includes estimates, it should explain the assumptions behind the estimate and avoid presenting planning numbers as guaranteed outcomes.
Updates
Energy programs, equipment prices, and utility rules change. We show update dates on guides and prioritize updates for pages about incentives, tax credits, utility rates, and safety-sensitive backup planning.
Corrections
If a page appears outdated or unclear, contact us with the page URL and the source we should review. We prefer corrections that include official program pages, utility documents, or manufacturer documentation.
