Affiliate Disclosure & Editorial Standards

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires commercial web publishers to provide full and transparent disclosures regarding any commercial, affiliate, or financial relationships with third-party merchants, service platforms, or advertising networks. At AirComf, we operate with complete transparency regarding how our research, digital infrastructure, and diagnostic field manuals are funded.

1. How AirComf Is Monetized

AirComf provides free, un-gated access to high-grade commercial rooftop unit technical documentation, sequence-of-operation schematics, and microcomputer error code directories. To support server infrastructure, edge caching, technical research, and field documentation archiving, AirComf participates in affiliate marketing and lead-generation referral programs:

OEM Replacement Parts Affiliates: Certain outbound links pointing to verified commercial parts suppliers (such as RepairClinic, PartSelect, Ferguson, and eBay Partner Network) are tracked affiliate links. If you click an outbound link to purchase an OEM control board, high-pressure switch, condenser fan motor, or diagnostic tool, AirComf may earn a small referral commission at absolutely no additional cost to you.
Pay-Per-Call & Emergency Dispatch: When you dial commercial dispatch telephone numbers displayed across our site, calls are routed through certified commercial dispatch platforms (such as Marketcall and Service Direct) to connect you with licensed local commercial mechanical contractors. AirComf receives compensation from referral partners for qualified inbound inquiries.
Commercial Contractor Quote Matching: Forms allowing facility managers to enter their facility ZIP code for contractor bids are operated in partnership with verified home and commercial service networks (such as Modernize and Networx). When you submit a quote request, we may receive a referral fee.
Master Technician Online Inquiries: Interactive links connecting users with certified master technicians online (via JustAnswer) earn affiliate commissions on qualified trial subscriptions or questions.

2. Strict Editorial Independence Guarantee

Our technical review team adheres to an absolute firewall between commercial affiliate relationships and our engineering editorial standards:

Objective Diagnostic Integrity: Commercial affiliate partnerships never influence diagnostic error code classifications, electrical wiring schemas, or equipment troubleshooting protocols. If a microcomputer LED code indicates a defective enthalpy sensor, our manual specifies the exact electrical test procedure, regardless of part availability.
No Paid Editorial Bias: We do not accept sponsored content, paid promotional reviews, or manufacturer subsidies intended to alter our equipment assessments or diagnostic checklists.
Accurate OEM Sourcing: When cross-referencing replacement parts, our priority is physical drop-in compatibility, correct electrical rating (voltage, amperage, phase), and manufacturer certification standards.

🔍 Zero Surcharge to Users

Clicking an affiliate link or calling our dispatch hotline never results in any price inflation or additional cost to the facility manager or technician. In many cases, our negotiated referral relationships provide preferred inventory access or commercial contractor pricing.

3. Third-Party Trademarks & Independence

AirComf is an independent trade publisher. We are not an official authorized subsidiary, franchise, or direct sales arm of Johnson Controls®, York®, Carrier Corporation®, Trane Technologies®, or Lennox International®. All brand names and trademarks remain the sole property of their respective owners and are cited strictly for equipment identification and compatibility.
