Privacy Policy

Last updated 2026-07-08. This page walks through what happens to your data on FurnaceReplacementCost.net: the calculator, the contact form, the quote-request buttons, and the ads and analytics running in the background.

The calculator itself

The fuel, efficiency, home size, ductwork, and ZIP inputs you enter into the calculator on the homepage are processed entirely by JavaScript running in your own browser. Nothing you type into those fields is sent to us or stored anywhere. If you use the print or link-sharing feature on the calculator, the resulting URL simply encodes your selections in the address bar so the estimate can be reopened; it does not create a record on our end.

Contact form and quote requests

The contact form is delivered by a third-party form service (Web3Forms). When you submit it, the name, email address, and message you type are sent to that service and then to us by email; we do not store them in a database of our own. If you click a quote-request button, you leave this site for a partner network's own form, and their privacy practices, not ours, govern what happens to that submission.

Cookies, ads, and analytics

Like most ad-supported sites, we run Google-served display ads and Google Analytics. Both use cookies. The analytics cookies tell us in aggregate which pages get read and how long visitors stick around, which helps us decide what to fix or expand next. The ad cookies belong to Google and its advertising partners, who use them to decide which ads to show you based on your browsing history across sites, not just this one. You can turn off ad personalization at adssettings.google.com, opt out of Analytics tracking with the official Google Analytics browser add-on, and review the ad partners we use at www.aboutads.info.

Cookie consent

Visitors in the EU, UK, EEA, and Switzerland see a consent banner on first visit and can accept or decline non-essential cookies there. That choice is stored in your browser and can be changed at any time by clearing your site data and reloading the page.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may be able to ask what personal data we hold about you, request a correction or deletion, or opt out of having your information shared for advertising purposes. The contact page is the way to reach us for any of that.

What we do not do

We do not sell contact-form submissions to third parties, and we do not maintain a mailing list built from quote-request activity. Messages sent through the contact form are kept only long enough to answer them and for basic recordkeeping afterward.

Children

This site is built for homeowners making a purchasing decision and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone in that age group.

Updates to this policy

We will update the date at the top of this page whenever the policy changes in a way that affects what we collect or how we use it. Questions go to the contact page.
