Affiliate disclosure

Some links to gear retailers are affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you buy through one, at no extra cost to you.

How a gear link is marked

Affiliate links are marked Sponsored and use rel="sponsored nofollow". They open in a new tab, so the link also includes noopener and noreferrer.Gear names are still plain text. No affiliate program is active, so none of those names are links yet. When one is turned on, it is marked Sponsored and the page shows a one-line note that links here.

Installer listings

Installer listings are free and verified independently. A firm does not pay to be listed. Each row is checked against the source page stored for that firm. How we verify listings.

Featured placement

Any paid featured placement is labeled Featured. That badge is the label on the firm’s card and on its page. Firms loaded from the research file are not featured.

Prices and build costs

Prices and build costs come from public sources linked on each page. An installer price is the sentence from that company’s site. A build cost is the total in the owner’s post. A commission does not change either figure.
