Our Mission: Empower Homeowners
We're tired of seeing homeowners get ripped off. So we built free tools to level the playing field.
Why We Built This
Every summer, millions of homeowners face AC breakdowns. And too many get taken advantage of by dishonest contractors who:
- Charge $800 for a $200 capacitor replacement
- Push $7,000 system replacements for $300 repairs
- Add refrigerant without fixing leaks
- Use scare tactics and fake urgency
We created AC Truth Hub as a 100% free consumer empowerment tool to help you:
- Diagnose problems yourself with our interactive tool
- Know fair prices before calling a technician
- Spot scam tactics and red flags
- Learn DIY fixes for common issues
No sales pitch. No hidden agenda. No HVAC company affiliations.
Just honest information to help you make smart decisions and avoid getting ripped off.
What We Stand For
Transparency
Fair pricing data from real homeowners. No hidden fees, no gotchas. We show you exactly what repairs should cost.
Consumer-First
We're on your side, not the contractor's. Every tool and guide is built to protect your wallet and empower your decisions.
Community-Powered
Our fair pricing comes from real homeowner submissions. By sharing your experiences, you help protect others.
Always Free
Every tool, guide, and resource on this site is 100% free. No paywalls, no upsells, no email harvesting.
What We're NOT
- ✗We're not an HVAC company. We don't sell, install, or repair AC units.
- ✗We're not a lead generation service. We don't sell your info or connect you with contractors.
- ✗We're not affiliated with manufacturers. Our recommendations are unbiased.
- ✗We don't get kickbacks. Any affiliate links are clearly disclosed and optional.
How We Keep the Lights On
Building and maintaining free tools costs money. Here's how we cover our costs:
- •Display Ads: We show ads through Google AdSense. These don't influence our content.
- •Affiliate Links: When we recommend tools or parts, we may earn a small commission if you buy. Always clearly disclosed.
Important: We never let monetization influence our advice. If a $20 part fixes your problem, we'll tell you - even if a $2,000 repair makes us more money in ad clicks.
