Bought unit in 2020 and asked for 12 year warranty (parts &labor). Most of the contractors did not hesitate. Did pay roughly $13k for the unit but peace of mind is important.
I would just point out that the SEER rating measures the efficiency of the unit, not the cooling ability. The cooling ability is measured by tonnage rating, 3 tons, 4 tons, etc.
