There are always going to be hacks and HVAC techs who do installs on nights
and weekends after their day job. If someone lets them impact their price,
then they don't know how much profit margin they need to survive. You can't
get into a bidding war against them, because you can't win.
Some of the best customers are people who can't get the installer to return
their call. They tend to tell all their friends and neighbors that you were
the one who saved them when their equipment failed.

Many of these forums are frequented by people who install this stuff -
any HVAC manufacturer who will sell to anyone limits what installers
can charge for their services. Don't blame these guys for being PO'd
at Goodman - anyone that impacts my wallet negatively is not a friend
of mine.

Yeah you have to get anything installed properly for it to function.
Will probably install an Amana high efficiency tube burner furnace when
I build - hey it is not a Goodman guys - ha ha ha. Gee wonder who
really makes Amana.
