Premium Service Tier as a Long-Term Value Option

When presenting electrical estimates using a tiered pricing model, how should the "Better" tier typically be positioned to the customer?

An electrical contractor is analyzing why their business's net profit has decreased after introducing a three-tier pricing model. The mid-range 'Better' tier—which includes value-adds like a whole-house surge protector and a 5-year warranty—is the most popular choice, accounting for 75% of all sales.
