# HVACBuddy Editorial Team

The HVACBuddy editorial team researches and writes every page on this site against primary sources — the Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, the IRS, ACCA, AHRI and state regulators. We do not install or service equipment, we do not dispatch contractors, and we do not sell leads, which is what lets us explain sizing and bid evaluation without a conflict of interest.
