Affiliate disclosure

How EnergyGuide makes money

EnergyGuide publishes free UK home energy guides. Some pages may include affiliate links, quote links or commercial partnerships. This page explains how those links work and how we aim to keep our advice useful, clear and fair.

Plain-English version

Some of our links are commercial. Our guides should still help you make a better decision.

EnergyGuide may receive a commission, referral fee or other commercial benefit if you click certain links, request a quote, complete an enquiry form or buy a product or service through one of our partners.

This helps fund the site and allows us to publish guides without charging readers. However, commercial relationships should not be a reason to hide important information, overstate savings or recommend unsuitable products.

What this means

How affiliate links work on EnergyGuide

01

We may earn commission

If you click a partner link, request a quote or complete a purchase through a commercial partner, EnergyGuide may earn a commission or referral fee.

02

You should compare options

A quote link can be useful, but it should not replace your own checks. Compare prices, installer credentials, warranties, reviews and whether the product suits your home.

03

Commercial links may influence placement

Some pages may feature partners more prominently where a commercial relationship exists. We try to make this clear and avoid disguising advertising as neutral advice.

04

Our content is not financial advice

Energy prices, grants, tariffs and installation costs change. Our guides are general information only and should not be treated as personalised financial advice.

Disclosure wording

Where you may see affiliate or partner links

Quote links

Some pages link to third-party quote forms or partner websites. If you submit your details or request a quote, EnergyGuide may receive a commission or referral payment.

Product links

Some product recommendations or comparison articles may include affiliate links. If you buy through those links, we may earn a commission.

Commercial partnerships

In some cases, EnergyGuide may have a direct relationship with a company mentioned on the site. Where this is relevant, we aim to make the relationship clear.

Editorial updates

We aim to keep information accurate and useful, but prices, schemes, grants and availability can change. Always check the latest terms before making a decision.

Editorial principles

What we try to protect

  • We aim to explain costs, trade-offs and limitations clearly.
  • We avoid presenting quote links as the only option available.
  • We encourage readers to compare multiple quotes where appropriate.
  • We try to distinguish general guidance from commercial recommendations.
  • We update content where important energy prices, grants or rules change.
Important

Do your own checks before buying or requesting a quote.

Before choosing an installer, supplier or product, check accreditations, warranties, reviews, total costs, eligibility criteria and contract terms. For major home energy investments, it is usually sensible to compare more than one quote.
