Question about AC replacement

[Thurliss]

Told today that need to replace my 22 year old,  Lennox H 519651U-22 AC unit  for about $4000.  Does this sound reasonable, and is there a better unit than a Lennox at the same price or cheaper. I aggree the coil is shot and it won't hold refrigerant at this age and needs replacing. I just want to make sure to put in the best unit for the money. I am in my 60's so this most likely will be the last unit I need.

Lennox is ok, Carrier is pretty reliable too.

Thanks so much, am having someone come out tomorrow and give an estimate - and they install carrier.  As an older lady am a target for dishonest repair folks, and having you all help has been a wonderful.

you must not be in South Florida, typical age for a A/C system is 8-12 years depending how close you are to the beach
