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?
Sounds extremely high to me.

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.

If you are moving in the short term, go with a bandaid approach....change only outside unit for the cheapest quote possible. If you were staying long term, that advice would be different.

I would imagine you have noticed a "slight" drop in your utility bill.
