stjames,
I can understand your feelings. I designed and built my own home, and totally need to know everything. SEER rating on your heat pump is huge, I would need to know that and be able to decide what SEER I want and am willing to pay for. Same with windows....what energy rating, etc.
I am not saying anything negative. I'm sure that 95% of folks do not want to know or care....just build my house....but I could never be that way.
If I'm buying it and paying for it, I want to make some decisions. I see no problem with them saying, "Normal is 15 SEER. Add $400 for 19 SEER. Etc,etc...... Then you decide.

As the famous architect Ludwig Mies van der Roh said, "God is in the details".

Good luck on your new adventure!

Frank
