Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on Arcturus Vega are affiliate links. If you buy a part, tool, or product through one of them, we may earn a commission — at no additional cost to you. Commissions help keep the guides free to read.

Two rules govern every affiliate link on this site. First, we only link to parts and tools that fit the job the guide describes — the same ones we would point a neighbour to. Second, a commission never changes what we publish: the cost ranges in our guides are researched from retailer and trade sources, and a product earns its place by being right for the task, not by paying us.

Not Professional Advice

Everything on Arcturus Vega is educational content about how home systems work and how to maintain them. It is not professional advice, and it is not a substitute for a licensed plumber, electrician, or HVAC technician who can see your actual system.

Work involving gas lines, refrigerant, or the inside of an electrical panel belongs to licensed professionals — full stop. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your equipment and your local codes, shut off power and water before any check or repair, and if a job feels beyond your skill level, that feeling is the guide working as intended: call a pro.

Privacy Note

At launch, Arcturus Vega has no user accounts and no newsletter, and we do not sell or share visitor information. Like most websites, our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (such as pages visited and browser type) for security and operations. If we add analytics later, they will be privacy-respecting, and this page will be updated to say exactly what was added and why.
