Subreddit rules check

Can you promote here?
The written rules take no clear position, which is NOT permission: unclear communities enforce norms through removals instead of rulebooks. Sort by top, study which builder posts survived and how they were framed, and when in doubt ask the mods.
From the rules · Rules shown do not mention self-promotion or linking and no recent top-post samples available — ask mods before posting product/affiliate links.
Links
No explicit link policy. Default to no URL: link-plus-young-account is one of the most common automated removal patterns on Reddit.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: question, discussion, guide
Headline: short, specific problem or project (e.g., “How to reduce attic heat loss?”). Write in first person for experiments/case studies or neutral second-person for how‑tos. Typical length: concise post + photos or a 200–600 word writeup for guides. Tone: practical, evidence‑based, non‑promotional. Upvoted: actionable tips, measured results, clear before/after; removed: vague marketing or off-topic posts.
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 July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/energyefficiency'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.
