Editorial Policy

HVAC4Homeowners provides educational content about heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Our content is created by combining:

• Industry Standards: We reference guidelines from organizations like ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) and manufacturer specifications.
• Expert Knowledge: Our content draws from established HVAC best practices and common troubleshooting procedures.
• AI Technology: We use advanced AI systems to help users identify symptoms and potential causes of HVAC issues.

Our AI-powered diagnostic tool is designed to help homeowners understand their HVAC issues. Here's how it works:

• Symptom Analysis: Users describe their HVAC symptoms, and our AI analyzes patterns to suggest likely causes.
• DIY vs Professional: The tool clearly distinguishes between simple DIY fixes and issues requiring professional service.
• Safety First: We always err on the side of caution, recommending professional help for gas appliances, electrical issues, and refrigerant handling.

Note: Our diagnostic tool provides general guidance only. It is not a substitute for professional HVAC inspection and service.

Your safety is our top priority. We follow these principles:

• No Gas Work: We never recommend DIY repairs involving gas lines or gas appliances. Always call a licensed professional.
• No Refrigerant Handling: Working with refrigerants requires EPA certification. We always recommend licensed HVAC technicians.
• Electrical Safety: We recommend professional service for any electrical work beyond basic thermostat battery replacement.
• When In Doubt: If you're unsure about any repair, contact a licensed HVAC professional.

• Accuracy: We strive to provide accurate information based on industry standards and best practices.
• Transparency: We clearly indicate when content is AI-generated and when professional service is recommended.
• No Pressure: We never pressure users into purchasing services. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions.
• Continuous Improvement: We regularly update our content and AI models to reflect current HVAC technology and practices.
