Our editorial purpose
U.S. Home Guide publishes evidence-based information about home energy, maintenance, indoor air, weather resilience, and incentives in the United States. We separate federal facts from state, Tribal, utility, manufacturer, and locally adopted requirements.
Evidence standards
We use primary and authoritative material whenever it is available. Core sources include the U.S. Department of Energy, Internal Revenue Service, Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Consumer Product Safety Commission, NOAA and the National Weather Service, state and local agencies, utilities, adopted building-code resources, recognized standards organizations, and manufacturer technical documentation.
Dates, dollar amounts, eligibility rules, tax provisions, code references, efficiency values, and safety thresholds are checked against the applicable source. Time-sensitive articles show a review date and direct readers to the current official administrator where local rules control.
No fabricated experiences or quotations
We do not invent site visits, personal experience, homeowner stories, expert opinions, quotations, test results, case studies, or field observations. We do not present fictional or composite situations as evidence. A real case or quotation is used only when its source can be identified and checked.
Explanatory examples must be supported by established technical guidance and clearly identified as examples. They do not replace measured property data, an official rule, or project-specific professional evaluation.
Safety and regional context
We identify material safety limitations and explain when qualified or licensed help is appropriate. We do not present one climate region’s building practice as a universal solution. Readers should confirm permits, locally adopted codes, floodplain requirements, utility rules, insurance conditions, product instructions, and site-specific hazards before work begins.
Updates and corrections
We review content when official programs, laws, standards, or safety guidance materially change. Confirmed errors are corrected promptly. To report an error, email home@bibubnews.com with the article URL and supporting source.
Editorial independence and research tools
Advertising, sponsorships, and affiliate relationships do not determine editorial conclusions. Commercial relationships are disclosed where applicable. Research, editing, and software tools may assist the workflow, but they are not treated as evidence; publishable factual claims must be checked against the cited or listed source.
