How do brand & quality tier change the parts cost?
Brand and tier adjust the parts portion only — never labour. Value brands — Kalley, Midea, Hisense and TCL — carry the cheapest, most widely stocked parts; Haceb, Challenger, LG, Samsung and York form the mainstream core of the Colombian market; premium makers — Carrier, Trane, Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric and Bosch — use pricier components, almost always imported and sold through the manufacturer's official channel. Pick a tier in the calculator for a class-typical estimate, or a specific Colombian brand to override it.
