Manufacturer authorization. Named factory-authorized dealer (Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Bryant, Rheem, Goodman, York). Unlocks the extended parts warranty (typically 10 years vs the 5-year baseline).
Labor warranty length. Multi-year labor warranty on the install — measures the installer's confidence in their own workmanship. 5-year is competitive; 10-year is best-in-class.
