Editorial policy

Every page should be accurate, clear and useful. We write in plain language, we show where our numbers come from, and we say when an answer depends on your own tariff or appliance. We would rather give an honest range than a precise-looking number that is wrong.

CentsPerHour is run by Muhammad Uzair, who is responsible for everything published on the site. Each page shows the date it was last updated.

Electricity prices come from official sources: the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Eurostat, Ofgem and national energy regulators and utilities, each named wherever its price is used. Appliance wattages are typical ranges from product labels and specifications. Our formulas and assumptions are published on our Methodology page, and every price shows its source and data period.

We may use AI tools to help with research, code, outlines, first drafts and first drafts of translations. AI does not have the final word. A person checks every number, title and claim against its source before a page is published. This follows Google’s guidance on using generative AI for content: AI can help, but what we publish must be accurate and made to help readers.

Translations are drafted with AI help and then reviewed by a native speaker before they are published. Each translated page records who reviewed it. Drafts that have not been reviewed yet are clearly marked and hidden from search engines.

CentsPerHour is funded by ads, affiliate links and partnerships. These never change our numbers or our conclusions. Where we recommend a product, the recommendation is based on the calculations. See our Affiliate disclosure for details.

Price data is checked for updates every week. When we change a page in a meaningful way, or fix a confirmed error, we change its “Updated” date. We never change the “Updated” date without a real change to the page.

If you spot a mistake, email uzairxdev@gmail.com with the page and what you think is wrong. We check every report against the source and fix confirmed errors.
