Yet, an important factor that most people would agree should not be overlooked is value-added, an amenity or service – such as warranty or engineering assistance – that substantially increases the worth of the product or potential return on investment.
When it comes to purchasing a cooling tower (an integral component of many HVAC and heat exchanger systems) value-added often takes on more significance than usual. This is because factors such as warranty or engineering and installation assistance can be crucial to performance, and extend the service life of the equipment. Hence, value-added may significantly enhance the price/performance ratio.
