Existing unit is about 12 years old. Bad leak in condensor and small leak in the dryer.

Repairman suggests changing entire unit if we can swing the money.

Quoted me:

Ruud (by Rheem) 5 ton unit, 15 Seer, inside and outside units, installed $7215

Could do a Trane for about $1000 more.

What says the OT a/c experts?

Edit: Evaporator coil, not condensor.

I just replace mine in a rental unit (a 4 ton Ruud) and it was $4200 installed and included the ducts being cleaned and a new slab for the outside unit.

First question, how long do you intend to stay in this home?

I'm going to need square footage of your home and ceiling heights in order to give you what you seek.

how bad a leak?
they have made huge strides in leak seal technology in the last few years.
There is this stuff that seals like magic, it comes in a syringe.
