Corrections Policy

How Utility Explained handles errors and updates to its guides.

Corrections Policy

Accuracy matters when the topic is your money. If we get something wrong, we want to fix it — fast and visibly.

How to report an error

If you spot an inaccuracy — a wrong figure, a misleading explanation, an outdated rate — please contact us with the guide title and the specific issue. The more detail you provide, the faster we can verify and correct it.

What happens next

  1. We review the claim against our sources and methodology.
  2. If the content is wrong, we correct it promptly.
  3. Where a figure was materially off, we update the “Updated” date so the change is visible.
  4. For significant corrections, we note what changed so readers aren’t confused by a silent edit.

Updates vs. corrections

  • A correction fixes something that was inaccurate.
  • An update refreshes a figure or rate to keep it current (e.g., new average prices). Updates carry an “Updated” timestamp.

Both are part of keeping the guides trustworthy. See our editorial policy for how we maintain content over time.

Thank you for helping us stay accurate.

How we got these numbers

Cost ranges reflect typical U.S. utility bills and are labeled as estimates, not guarantees. Rates, climates, and providers vary by region. Read our methodology to see how we calculate and review these figures.
