Cost of HVAC replacement.

My compressor is out on my 25 yo unit and I am looking at getting a new system. My question is what is a good price for a 3-4 ton unit. Looking for Lennox, Carrier or Trane. Not planning to go for the ultra high efficient unit since the cost is so much higher.
Also, would anyone recommend switching just the outside unit and leaving the old inside one or should I switch both.

Go for both to get the new refrigerant. Est $6000-7500 installed. (It's July.)

I'll be changing my equally as old unit for around $3500. Much smaller place/unit though...going with a 2.5 ton 14 seer Rheem.

Spinoff, but what would be causing my breaker to trip with a new 4 ton unit installed last week? Breaker is 30 amp and trips daily after the unit runs for 6-8 hours. Previously had a 3.5 ton unit with no issues. Is the 30amp breaker to small?

I checked around online last week for a unit for my upstairs. I ordered from https://www.budgetairsupply.com/
Luckily for me, my brother-in-law is an AC guy, and did the install for me for free, but the price I got on the system was great. Granted, it's not a MAJOR name brand that I bought, but the warranty was 10 years.
I got a Goodman 2.5 ton 13 SEER heat pump, matching air handler, 8kw heater, free programmable thermostat, free shipping (came from central Florida in two days via freight line)for $1400
General rule is that if your air handler if over 7 years old, you may want to change it along with the condenser.

Replaced our 2 ton unit with a Trane 3 ton unit and had duct work done last summer for $7200.
Previous utility bills averaged around 375-400 per month but with new unit it dropped almost $100 on avg per mo.

I would check the warranty with only changing outside. Some only warranty if both are changed and compatible.
I have a Trane but American Standard is basically the same as both are made by same company.
