How We Make Money
HVAC4Homeowners is a free resource for homeowners. To keep our services free, we may receive compensation in the following ways:
- Lead Generation: When you submit a request for quotes or service, we may connect you with contractors who pay us a fee for leads.
- Featured Listings: Some contractors may pay to be featured prominently in our dealer directory.
- Affiliate Relationships: We may receive commissions if you purchase products through links on our site.
Contractor Listings
Our dealer and contractor directory includes both paid and unpaid listings:
- Featured Contractors: Some contractors pay for enhanced visibility or priority placement in search results.
- Organic Listings: We also include contractors who haven't paid for placement based on our research and user recommendations.
- No Pay-for-Ratings: Contractors cannot pay for higher star ratings. Reviews and ratings reflect actual user feedback and our research.
Paid placement does not influence our editorial content or the recommendations provided by our AI diagnostic tool.
Brand Reviews
Our brand reviews and ratings are based on:
- Industry reputation and reliability data
- Warranty terms and coverage
- Energy efficiency ratings
