- What is the response time for a warranty call?
- Does the warranty transfer if I sell the house?

Is a long warranty always better?
Not if it is parts-only. A ten-year parts warranty with one year of labor can cost more in year three than a shorter warranty that includes labor.
What if the contractor goes out of business?
Manufacturer coverage usually survives; labor coverage usually does not. Worth knowing which half you are relying on.
