Can you promote in r/hvacadvice?
A place for homeowners, renters, tenants, business owners or anyone with a general question about their HVAC system. Please read rules before posting!
The short answer
Do not promote or link to your product/company; participate as a helpful technical contributor and, if you're a professional, complete the flair verification procedure first.
What works here
- Answer technical questions and give general advice
- Participate publicly in threads with helpful troubleshooting
- Obtain verified pro flair via the sticky procedure
What gets posts removed
- Posting links to products, blogs, or sales pages
- Soliciting customers, leads, or recruitment
- Saying 'DM me' or moving discussions off-thread
- Posting promotional launch announcements or ads
