HVAC Replacement - ASAP

10+ year old Trane unit compressor died last night and the first group that came out let me know we would need to scrap the unit. Is this correct?
1st quote came back $11,000 for 4 ton 16 Seer system... Rest of quotes 8k
Remove existing system and install Rheem 4 ton 16 SEER heating and cooling system. Includes condenser, gas furnace, evaporator coil, drain pan, two float switches, and condenser surge protector. I like the owner and they seem very legitimate however this pricing was more than I was expecting.
Need to get it down quick due to a newborn in the home
Anyone have any recommendations?

God damn. Why replace everything?
Can’t replace just the condensing unit?

We had the same size and rated unit installed in March with all new duct work as well and it was $14k. We also got a 10 year warranty and 5 years of service included. I thought it was high but my wife had dealt with the company before and she pulled the trigger. We probably could’ve gotten it cheaper but the 2 stage system is really nice.

I recently had two complete systems replaced in my house. American Standard 15 SEER, 3.5 ton and 2.5 ton. It cost me $13,592. Only thing not replaced was duct work.

Did you get at least one other HVAC company to confirm you have a dead compressor and not a mis diagnosis - it happens more than you think.
If the compressor is dead and the unit is 10 years old, then a total system replacement would be the best investment. If you plan to move in 2 to 5 years go with a less expensive 14 SEER unit. The prices quoted are legit - I was quoted $10,900;for a 4 ton 16 SEER single stage Trane 3 years ago. Other major brands that are good seem to come in cheaper. But I suspect it will be difficult for you to get much below $8K for a 4-ton unit. Rheem/Rudd is a good manufacturer.

Go get a window unit to keep that baby and mama cool.
Then get a second and third quote!
What's the cost for compressor replacement only?

We had our unit replaced in February of this year. Honestly, think I paid too much but I got a few quotes and picked the company that impressed bull$h//ed) me the most. I paid a little over $13k for a 17 seer 5 ton 2 stage Rheem, some minors ductwork repairs, and an additional return installed, media cabinet, and UV lighting in the handler. Everything around the unit in the attic was replaced, pan, piping, switches. They were all around the same price range for what I got.

Had a new guy do the maintenance last year. He came with a real good recommendation. He said that if I had replace the AC he would have to replace everything because of the Freon.. He said for a four ton it would be 6000.00. He does good work and he ain't cheap.

I replaced a 28 year old Rheem last year (in Alabama) with a 3.5 ton Bryant 16 seer for $5.5k. No duct work or anything, just the entire mechanical system.

Call CPR ac and heat. I had buddy's come through years ago and quote something ridiculous. Motor and bearings failed or could pay $12K for new system.
Called Tim and he offered a $300ish part. Told me no bearings in my unit.
I recommend to everyone

I got quoted 6000 for a 4ton American Standard 14 seer
Condenser + Air Handler
3000 for condenser only
I’ve done quite a bit of research the last few days, and while I’m certainly no expert, a new A/C unit for a normal house with existing ductwork should not be over $10k… once you go over 8k you’re probably paying too much

If it makes you feel any better, my house A/C has been out since June 26th
Really long story, but basically needs a new evaporator coil… waiting on part, could be a few more weeks
