Also, dual stage compressors are more suitable for use in multi-story houses where there are two thermostats and two or more cooling zones. And, they are more expensive, so they are more advantageous where electricity rates are higher than in The Villages. I would not recommend buying a dual or variable speed compressor for a one story, single zone house in The Villages.

Since the OP has not stated the type or brand he has we can only speculate. Your knowledge and reasoning for using a 2-stage or variable compressors is flawed. I'll take my recommendations from an AC expert.
