Heat exchanger

Sandbagger44

How important is it for both the primary and secondary heat exchanger to be constructed of stainless steel? I noticed that carrier only has the secondary heat exchanger that is stainless steel. Is their lifetime warranty on the both heat exchangers or just the secondary?
