Total cost for the replacement was just over $1300 which was money well spent when it's 95 outside and 85 inside! I was also pleased that they had a new unit available in these days of parts shortages.

We ended up replacing our rooftop unit as well. This past Saturday, my son and I removed the existing unit and replaced it with a new Coleman 13,500 unit that I had found online from United RV in Texas. I reused inside plenum, control box and tempprobe from the old unit so for less than $800 we had it up and running in less than two hours.
Low Freon was definitely the cause of the original unit to fail because the new one is cooling a 100% better.
