Just by the raw stats, installer B looks much better right? My only hangup is that we used installer A for our old house and they did a fantastic job, so we know they do good work. I haven’t seen many reviews for installer B. I also am not sure how good the battery is given it seems to be a newer vendor.
Are there any other things I should look at or ask about, or is it pretty clear that installer B is the better option?
