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
