Affiliate disclosure

HVAC Then When is an independent informational website. Some outbound links are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you follow a link and later make a qualifying purchase.

Our relationship with El Cheapos

HVAC Then When participates in the El Cheapos affiliate program. We are not El Cheapos and we are not its contractor, installer, technician, service company, manufacturer, warranty provider, lender, or agent.

Affiliate compensation is for referrals. It does not give us control over El Cheapos pricing, service areas, products, installation schedules, contractor availability, warranties, financing, refunds, guarantees, or project outcomes.

How affiliate links work

When you click an affiliate link, the destination website or affiliate platform may use a referral identifier, cookie, or similar technology to recognize that your visit came from HVAC Then When. If a qualifying purchase is completed, we may receive a commission. You do not pay HVAC Then When separately for using these links.

What HVAC Then When does

We publish general information about HVAC replacement timing, installation availability, and scheduling questions homeowners may want to consider earlier in the buying process. We may point readers to third-party providers when live availability or current purchase information must come from the provider itself.

What HVAC Then When does not do

We do not inspect homes, diagnose equipment, size systems, prepare estimates, sell HVAC equipment directly, schedule crews, perform installations or repairs, pull permits, arrange financing, provide warranties, or guarantee service.

Verify current details with the provider

Product information, pricing, availability, service areas, warranty terms, financing, contractor arrangements, timelines, guarantees, and refund policies can change. Confirm material details directly with the provider before purchasing or scheduling anything.

Affiliate compensation does not decide the outcome

An affiliate relationship does not mean a provider is automatically suitable for every home or situation. Our role is to explain the timing problem clearly and point to current provider information where appropriate. The final purchasing and scheduling decision is yours.
