Get several quotes before making a decision

$22k all in with 10 year labor and parts warranty on both. This includes some ductwork, 2 new smart thermostats, etc. 24 months no interest financing and no prepayment penalty so I don't have to pay cash now (although I'll probably end it after 12) One Ruud / one Rheem. 3 stage, good units. My a-hole still feels torn open even though the internet says this is about market price.

That actually is a very good price for 2 units, multistage (3 stage inverter system) with a 10-year labor warranty (1 or 2 years labor is standard), but of course that 10-year labor warranty certainly adds to the cost, but not a bad idea have it with more complex inverter driven systems. 10-year parts warranty is standard among all manufacturers when registered with the manufacturer - just be sure the installing company does that for you, most do.

Rheem=Rudd are good units, comparable to other manufacturers, and as others have stated the quality and attention to detail in the install is more important than the manufacturer of the equipment, i.e., focus more on the reputation of the installing company and less on the brand name of the equipment they install.
