4. Questions Suggested by the Wording
- “Could you list the exact indoor and outdoor model numbers for all three options?”
- “Apart from the equipment and thermostat, is the installation scope identical across the options?”
- “How were the ducts and proposed capacity evaluated?”
- “What electrical, line-set, permit, startup, and commissioning work is included in each option?”
- “Are there different warranty, registration, rebate, or exclusion terms between the options?”
What This Example Demonstrates
ClarityHeat can make the option differences visible without declaring one tier the best value, most comfortable, or right choice. The homeowner and qualified professionals still decide which tradeoffs fit the property and priorities.
