Methodology & Corrections Policy

How homeowner guides are researched

• We start with official program, safety, regulatory, and manufacturer sources where available.
• We translate rules into homeowner decisions such as permit scope, paperwork, quote comparison, and deposit risk.
• When official rules change, we update summaries and treat the official source as authoritative.

How directory pages are reviewed

• Listing quality signals such as contact consistency, service detail clarity, and homeowner usability.
• Public review and profile signals, with paid upgrades separated from core ranking logic in homeowner views.
• Verification review triggers for identity mismatches, homeowner complaints, or misleading rebate claims.

Verification on this site is a platform trust signal, not a government license or a guarantee of workmanship. Homeowners should still confirm permit responsibility, trade scope, model numbers, and written warranty terms before signing.

Revenue and disclosure

The site may earn revenue from installer subscriptions and limited advertising on selected content pages. Revenue does not determine article conclusions, and paid placement does not override the default homeowner-facing ranking logic described above.

Corrections and updates

If you believe a guide or listing is inaccurate, email hello@heatpumpsnovascotia.ca. We review credible correction requests, update material errors, and may revise guide timestamps when source-backed changes are published.
