How we research, write and correct

Sources

Factual claims come from primary sources: utilities' own rate sheets and program pages, the Florida Public Service Commission, the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the U.S. Department of Energy, ENERGY STAR, the IRS and Florida statutes. Each article lists its sources and the date we read them. When we can't verify something from a primary source, we leave it out.

Dates

Every guide shows its first publish date and its last substantive update. We change the update date only when the content changes, not for typo fixes or design changes.

How we use AI

We use AI tools to help research and draft. Every claim is checked against its cited source before publishing, and Carlos Gil, the publisher, is the editor responsible for what we publish. AI never produces the numbers in our calculators; those come from formulas in tested code. On the product side, AI reads the values on a bill you upload, and you review them before anything is calculated.

Technical review

We don't currently have a licensed engineer or certified energy auditor reviewing our pages, so guides say "Not yet technically reviewed". When a qualified reviewer checks a page, we'll name them, their credentials and what they reviewed. We won't list a reviewer whose involvement or credentials we haven't confirmed.

Safety

We don't give instructions for electrical, gas or other hazardous work. Where safety matters, such as space heaters, we quote official safety guidance and point to licensed professionals.

Examples and case studies

Worked examples use invented numbers and are labelled "Illustrative example". We don't publish testimonials or customer stories unless a real customer has given consent, and then we show the evidence, the calculation, what's uncertain and what happened next.

Money and independence

Gil Media Co. publishes this site. Commercial relationships never change a calculator result or a factual statement. See how we make money.

Corrections

Email support@energysavingsai.com. We fix factual errors promptly and add a correction note to the page when the change is substantive.
