Not what I said at all. The single stage Carrier system is, by far, the most commonly installed system in The Villages. Munn's is well recognized as an authorized Carrier dealer and expert installer and warranty repair company in The Villages. If your system fails, a Carrier system can usually be repaired within a day or so, even on a weekend. To me that is important. Neither the Carrier system or Munn's are the cheapest way to go.

I would also point out that there was another thread where a guy was waiting 4 months to get a part to repair his variable speed compressor that was installed by an out-of-town company. I doubt that a similar situation could ever occur with a single stage Carrier unit in The Villages.
