Affiliate Disclosure

Short version: Some links on ColdSnapHeat go through addresses like coldsnapheat.com/go/hvacdirect. Right now none of them are affiliate links. They send you straight to the brand’s or retailer’s official page with no tracking. We plan to join affiliate programs (for example HVAC retailers and mini-split brands), and once we do, those links may earn us a commission if you buy, at no extra cost to you.

What that means

• Why the /go/ links exist. They keep every outbound shopping link in one place. When a program approves us, we can swap in an affiliate link without editing every page, and the page disclosures will be updated at the same time.
• It costs you nothing extra. Affiliate commissions are paid by the seller. Your price is the same either way.
• Disclosures are near the top of the page. Any page with /go/ links shows a disclosure before the first one.
• Commissions won’t buy recommendations. Our calculators and comparisons use published specs and stated assumptions. A brand can’t pay for a better result, and we’ll say when a smaller unit, a different brand, or a professional install is the better fit.
• Not every link is a /go/ link. Links to spec sheets and manuals we cite as sources, and to government resources, go directly to those sites.

Why we disclose

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission expects material connections such as affiliate commissions to be disclosed clearly and close to the recommendation. See the FTC’s Disclosures 101 and its Endorsement Guides FAQ.
