Here is a quote from your source:

"The majority of household heating and cooling systems use single-stage scroll compressors. They have just one speed and are the most basic and cost-effective product."

If you are saying that, in The Villages, varable speed compressors are as common as single stage compressors for new and replacement installations, I cannot agree. Also, the vast majority of existing HVAC systeme in the Villages, that often need to be serviced or repaired, are single stage compressor units.
