1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using The Power Estimator website (thepowerestimator.com), you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this agreement. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service, please do not use our website.

2. Use of Our Service

2.1 Free Calculators

The Power Estimator provides free online calculators for estimating energy costs, solar savings, EV charging costs, generator fuel consumption, appliance power usage, electric bill breakdowns and home electrical load. These calculators are provided for informational and educational purposes only.

The free tier may be supported by advertising. See Section 3 for how advertisements are shown and who is exempt.

2.2 Accuracy Disclaimer

While we strive to provide accurate calculations based on industry-standard formulas, the results are estimates only. Actual costs and savings may vary based on numerous factors including but not limited to:

Local electricity rates and fuel prices
Equipment efficiency and condition
Weather conditions and seasonal variations
Usage patterns and load management
Installation quality and maintenance

We are not responsible for any financial decisions made based on our calculator results. Always consult with qualified professionals before making significant purchases or installations.

3. Affiliate Disclosure and Advertising

The Power Estimator participates in the Amazon Associates Program and other affiliate advertising programs. This means we may earn a commission when you click on certain links and make purchases through those links.

Important: We only recommend products we believe will provide value to our users. Our affiliate relationships do not influence our calculator accuracy or the educational content we provide. The price you pay is the same whether you use our affiliate links or not.

As an Amazon Associate, The Power Estimator earns from qualifying purchases. Affiliate links appear in the "Recommended Products" blocks on our free calculators and within blog articles, are labelled with this disclosure where they appear, and open the retailer's site in a new tab. We are not a party to any purchase you make there; the retailer's terms, pricing, shipping and returns apply. A product link is a suggestion of a category to consider, not a guarantee that a specific item suits your installation.

3.1 Advertising on the Free Tier

Free calculators and blog articles may display third-party advertisements served by Google AdSense. Advertisements are placed outside calculator forms and are never shown to subscribers with an active Pro plan while signed in. The advertising network, not The Power Estimator, selects ad content; an advertisement is not an endorsement, and calculator results are not influenced by advertising. Cookies and personalization used for advertising are described in our Privacy Policy, which also links to Google's ad settings for opting out of personalized ads.
