Lower Bill Home publishes plain-language explanations about household electricity use, costs and energy-saving options. This page describes how we approach that content.
What we aim to do
We explain how electricity use and bills work, give realistic expectations, and point to the sources behind our figures. Where we use an example calculation, we say so and show the assumptions, because your own savings depend on your home, tariff, climate and habits.
Sources
We prefer primary and official sources, such as government energy agencies and national laboratories, and we link to them in the article. If a number comes from a source, we cite it. If we could not verify something, we say so instead of presenting it as fact.
What we do not claim
We do not claim personal testing, personal results or customer testimonials unless an article clearly says we did the testing. We do not promise savings, and we do not present any product as a proven way to lower your bill unless independent evidence supports that.
Affiliate links and independence
Some pages contain affiliate links, and we may earn a commission if you buy through them. Affiliate links are labelled next to the link, and any seller claims we mention are described as the seller's own claims. Commissions do not change what the evidence says. See the Affiliate Disclosure page for details.
Safety
Our articles are general information. Work involving wiring, batteries, generators or connecting equipment to your home should be done by a licensed electrician in line with local codes. See the Disclaimer.
Corrections and updates
Energy prices, rules and products change. If you find an error or an out-of-date statement, tell us through the Contact page, with the article title and, if possible, a source. We will correct confirmed errors and update the article.
