Can you promote here?

The rules prohibit promoting your own product here. You can still be genuinely useful in comments (which builds the account standing every other community checks), but any promotional post or link is likely to be removed and can earn a community ban.

From the rules · Always include your location (state); advertising and company names (including links to blogs/YouTube/products) are banned.

Links

Links are prohibited in posts or comments. Name things in plain text; interested readers will search.

What this community rewards

Dominant post formats: question, guide, discussion

Headline = concise problem + location (e.g., “CA — outlet trips when A/C runs”). Write in first person, describe symptoms, exact measurements, steps tried, and include clear photos. Typical length: short-to-medium (1–3 paragraphs). Tone: technical and polite. Upvoted: clear photos, measurements, code-aware solutions; removed: no location, advertising, unsafe or blatantly incorrect advice.

Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.

Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked August 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/askelectricians's rules page before posting anything that matters.

Thread Otter checks this before every send

These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
