How to read this
On current list prices, Wrangler has the lower median. That is a price positioning fact, not a quality verdict: compare the SEER2/HSPF2 tier and compressor stage of the specific models on your quotes, and remember the installer matters more than the badge. Labor and markup are usually the larger half of an installed price — check your full quote here.
