THE PUBLICATION DESK
Advertising & referral disclosures
Who benefits when you follow a recommendation.
Last revised September 27, 2026.
Our own businesses
The Utility Bill, CalculateEnergySavings.com (CES) and GetEnergyRebates.com (GER) are Synkompass Media properties. Links to CES and GER promote related businesses; they are not independent third-party endorsements. We identify that relationship alongside calculator and rebate recommendations.
Referrals and affiliate links
Synkompass may earn fees through contractor referrals or affiliate arrangements associated with its services. Whether a particular transaction produces compensation depends on that service and arrangement. A rebate-search link does not itself submit a contractor request or transfer your calculator entries. Any later request for contact is a separate step on the receiving service. Where a recommendation or link on this publication earns compensation, we will disclose that relationship nearby in plain language.
Paid advertising
Actual paid placements will be labeled Advertisement or Sponsored near the placement. Advertising is not a guarantee of quality, safety, savings or eligibility. A general disclosure page does not replace the disclosure needed beside a paid recommendation or link.
Fictional advertisements
Our fictional advertisements are jokes and are labeled Fictional advertisement. They are not paid placements, available products or endorsements by the people or institutions depicted.
Your decision
Compare alternatives and verify the provider’s qualifications, written scope, price and terms. We do not promise that a listed provider is the best or lowest-cost choice. Rebate eligibility remains the program administrator’s decision. Send commercial-relationship questions to info@synkompass.com.
