Depends on what horsepower you go with, probably $350 at least

Paid $7800 for a 4 ton Trane last week. West Monroe

There was a thread a few weeks back you might search for and find good information. General conclusion was $5-10k. Get at least 3 quotes.

I think you'll need a 4 ton.

I paid 5800 installed for a Rheem 3 ton in March.

So 7-9k sounds right.

What kind of heat ?

If gas, are you keeping the furnace ?

What is the tonnage in there now ?

There is no such thing as a 4.5 ton. Closest to that is a 5 ton, 2 stage.

Most accurate gauge is to get an honest answer from previous occupants. Ask,

On a hot July evening, at 2 pm, did you notice if the AC was able to overcome and shut off ?

Yes, Tigeraddict is correct, above.

Also the other guy above is in range - 7-9 k

Paid 7500 in March. 5 ton

$2000 a ton is average so $8k-4 ton system or $10k-5 ton system is what it will be

What kind of idiot down arrows a neutral topic post ?

I had a new Rudd 5 ton installed in March of 2021. It a 17 Seer, 2 stage, complete replacement with a new return duct installed and some duct work repairs and it was $13k all in. Probably doesn’t mean much with all the recent price increases though.
