General Disclaimer
Important limits on the information, tools, and recommendations published on PowerProof Home.
PowerProof Home publishes general information to help people plan home backup power, home solar, EV charging, outage preparedness, and energy savings. Please read this disclaimer carefully. It forms part of our Terms and Conditions.
No professional advice
Nothing on this Site is legal, tax, accounting, financial, investment, lending, insurance, medical, veterinary, mechanical, electrical, engineering, or immigration advice. We are not licensed professionals in these fields and do not provide individualized recommendations. Always consult a qualified professional who knows your situation.
Financial topics
Budgets, loan and affordability estimates, and cost examples are illustrations. They are not offers of credit, credit decisions, or investment advice, and they do not account for your full financial picture, taxes, or lender criteria. Interest rates, fees, and terms vary by lender and change often.
Incentives, taxes, permits, and utility rules
Tax credits, rebates, utility interconnection and net metering rules, permits, homeowners association rules, and insurance requirements differ by state, utility, and locality and change over time. Our guides describe how these topics generally work and point to official sources; they cannot tell you what is right for you.
Health and safety
Content touching on medical devices, heat, or cold during outages is general information, not medical advice; ask your doctor and equipment supplier about backup power for medical equipment. Generators, transfer switches, electrical panels, batteries, EV chargers, and solar systems can cause fire, electric shock, carbon monoxide poisoning, or injury if installed or used incorrectly. Follow manufacturer instructions and local codes, install and test carbon monoxide and smoke alarms, and use licensed electricians.
Electrical work and installation
Work on home wiring, including transfer switches, interlock kits, generator inlets, EV charger circuits, battery systems, and solar interconnection, must be done by a licensed electrician with any required permits, inspections, and utility approval. Never connect a generator to a home through a wall outlet or dryer outlet. Our content and tools do not replace your equipment manuals, local codes, or a professional assessment.
Outages, storms, and emergencies
During an emergency, follow instructions from local officials, your utility, and emergency services. Report downed power lines to your utility and stay away from them. Our guides cannot tell you current conditions, outage times, or whether it is safe to stay in your home.
Energy savings and solar estimates
Savings, payback, and production estimates depend on your rates, usage, weather, equipment, installation quality, and future policy changes. They are illustrations, not guarantees. Get written quotes and confirm incentives before you buy.
Product information and reviews
We state whether a product was tested hands-on or researched. Specifications, prices, and availability come from manufacturers and merchants and can change. Product recalls and safety notices should be checked with the manufacturer and relevant government agencies.
External links
We link to other websites for convenience and reference. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, products, or policies.
Errors and updates
Despite our efforts, content may contain errors or become outdated. We correct mistakes when we learn of them; please tell us if you spot one.
Limitation
You use the Site and its information at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, PowerProof Home is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your reliance on it, as further described in our Terms.
