Standards

Editorial standards

  • Accuracy first: every specification comes from the maker's or seller's published information.
  • Capacity, efficiency and low-temperature heating figures are the maker's own; calculators show their assumptions.
  • Refrigerant work, electrical connections and permits are flagged as jobs for a licensed installer where the maker or code requires it.
  • We don't promise rebates or tax credits; the federal 25C credit ended for systems installed after 2025.
  • Discontinued products are removed or clearly labelled, never recommended.
  • Commissions never decide which products we cover or how we rank them.
