It makes no difference what it means to me or anyone else on here. What matters is what does it mean to the manufacturer building it - that's who you need to ask the question of.
Ditto !!!
Heated tanks for example:
Some manufacturers enclose the underbelly and say the heat radiating through the floor provides tank heat.
Some enclose underbelly and run heat duct through the area of the tanks. Now they have the heat duct and radiant heat doing the tank heat.
Some do all of the above plus, open a duct to blow warm air around the tanks and wrap tanks with insulation.
Some do all of the above plus, install electric heat pads on the tanks, drain lines, and dump valves.
All of them will tell you they have heated tanks, but, only the last one has some tank protection while the furnace is not running.
Same idea goes along with marketing terms like Arctic Package, Polar Package, Four Season Package, etc. The terms don't mean anything, unless you know exactly what is included in the package, and many dealers are unable to answer those questions.
