Quick answer
Some pages on ReadyHome Canada contain affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and buy something, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
That never changes the safety advice, the skip-this recommendations, or whether a product is a dumb buy for a particular household. If we would not recommend it to a neighbour, we do not recommend it here.
How affiliate links work
When you click an affiliate link on ReadyHome Canada and make a purchase, the retailer pays us a small commission. This does not affect the price you pay.
What affiliate links do not change
- Safety guidance — Generator warnings, carbon monoxide cautions, electrical safety advice, water damage caveats, and medical-adjacent disclaimers are independent of affiliate relationships. Affiliate links never make a product safer or less safe than it is.
- Skip-this recommendations — When a page says “skip this if…”, that recommendation is based on whether the product category fits the household’s needs. Affiliate links do not override that.
- Product picks — When we recommend category-level guidance (the framework for choosing a product) without naming specific models, that is not driven by affiliate relationships. If we add verified product picks in the future, we will document how they are selected.
What we do not do
- We do not accept payment or free products in exchange for positive coverage.
- We do not write content specifically to generate affiliate commissions.
- We do not let affiliate relationships determine which products appear in buying guidance.
- We do not add affiliate links to safety warnings, medical-adjacent content, or pages where buying guidance is not appropriate.
Category guidance vs specific products
Most ReadyHome buying guidance is category-level — explaining which specs matter, what to look for, what to ignore, and who should skip the category entirely. These pages may use affiliate links to general product categories or specific verified products.
If a page lists specific product models, those are selected based on confirmed specs and Canadian availability, not affiliate commission rates.
