Builders are noted for installing only the minimum in appliances etc. So I bought the best heating cooling unit for the money and bought a 10 year package for parts and service. Are there any guarantees no but this unit is so quiet that I can't ear it running when I am in my garage and I can remotely control it.

The "best" has nothing to do with reliability. Bells & whistles is what you'll get, which is fine but don't expect it not to break. Adding more components actually increases the potential for a breakdown. Simple is the way to go. It will cost you slightly in energy efficiency but the cost savings will be made up in terms of decreased service calls and aggravation. I'm in the trade, I know these things...
