Our directory is meant to help you find heating and cooling businesses near you. This page explains where the listings come from and how paid placement is handled.
Most listings in our directory are compiled from publicly available business information — company name, phone number, website, and general service area. A business does not need to pay, register, or opt in to appear in the non-sponsored directory.
Because this information comes from public sources and changes over time, it can be out of date. We do not independently confirm that a listed business is currently licensed, insured, in operation, or serving a given area. See our Contractor Verification Policy.
A "Sponsored" listing means the business has paid for placement. Sponsored listings are always labeled. Sponsorship buys visibility — it does not buy a rating, a review, a verification badge, or a claim about quality, and it never changes our calculators or removes non-sponsored listings.
"Featured" placements are a premium sponsored position, also labeled. Some pages show a "Near You" section that uses your approximate location (from your IP address, not GPS) to surface businesses from our directory for your city; those are drawn from the same public data.
If your business is listed and the information is wrong, or you want it removed, contact us. To claim a profile or sponsor placement, see Advertise / For Contractors.
