How we make money

HeatCoolVerdict is free to use. We earn money in two ways, and both happen only when you choose to contact a contractor through us.

• Calls. When you call the number on our site, your call is routed to a licensed company that serves your area. That company, or the network it belongs to, pays us for the call.
• Quote requests. When you send the quote form, we pass your request to one licensed company. It pays us for the introduction.

You pay nothing to us, and the contractor's price to you is not higher because you came through HeatCoolVerdict. We do not sell repairs, equipment or service plans, and we do not accept payment to change what a guide says.

Our calculator and guides are built to be useful even if you never contact anyone. Sometimes the right answer is a filter change or a thermostat setting, and we say so.
