That's different. Devices like that are often made in bulk.

Think about it. Let's say for example, the Villages is working with Sunshine, SunKool and other's who are doing the new builds. It's almost 7 months now since 1/1/2025 and the Villages probably has built and or finished 1,000+ homes since January. It seems unlikely they would have purchased and stored all those systems on the hunch there would be a supply chain issue. And why would they need to lay out all that money if they didn't have to?

Something just doesn't make sense. Either the Villages, as someone said, is selling units they make the most on or they don't want to spend the money on changing the standard paperwork.

If it were me and I was told I couldn't get the system I wanted because of some "BS" reason the Villages gave me, I would call Sunshine or SunKool for example and ask them if it's possible. Given the fact that I know of several friends who moved into Middleton in the past year or two who got the Carrier Infinity upgrade and we know of several existing homeowners like myself and my neighbors who got systems in the past couple of weeks from Sunshine no problem, and now all of a sudden you can't get it tells you something is not right.
