How we make money

Today

• No advertising and no paid placements.
• No affiliate links on this site.
• No contractor referrals; we don't pass anyone's details to installers.
• No paid reports are on sale. A paid report offered earlier has been withdrawn while we rebuild it on real calculations.

The bill check, bill comparison and calculators are free and will stay free.

If that changes

Gil Media Co. may later earn money in these ways. Each will be disclosed where it appears:

• Affiliate links to products, marked as paid links and tagged so search engines know they're sponsored. We'll recommend products only when they fit the result in front of you, including saying when no purchase is needed.
• Referrals to professionals you ask to hear from, only with partners we've signed terms with, only with your separate consent, and only for the area they actually serve.
• Optional paid features, priced up front, that add real work on top of the free tools.

What money never changes

Calculator formulas, the numbers they produce, the facts we state and the order of your action plan. See our methodology and editorial policy.

How we would choose what to recommend

• Fit before commission. A product appears only when it addresses something your own result points to, such as a plug-in power meter when the appliance calculator needs a measured wattage.
• Free options first. Your plan lists no-cost steps and official utility programs before anything you would buy.
• Claims we can source. We won't state savings, prices or certifications we haven't checked against the maker's or program's own pages, and we date every check.
• No testing we didn't do. We research products; we don't claim to have tested them.
