Time for a new central AC, need advice.

Well my AC has finally kicked the bucket. I had an AC guy (Scott's AC)
come out and he is recommending an Amana 13 SEER unit. Is Amana a good
brand? This is just for the unit that sits outside of the house, not
any heater, air mover(?) that goes inside. I'm getting a quote of $5K
installed with a lifetime warranty on the compressor and I believe other
parts also.
My main concerns a
-brand quality/reliabilty
-cooling ability (house is about 2500 sq feet)
-how much energy savings (my electric bill has been between $350-400/mo)
-quietness
I need to clarify which exact model but he said it's a darker grayish
model Amana that is rated @ 13 SEER.
Are there other models to consider?
Thanks for any input.
Five grand for a three ton condensing unit?!!!
Holy Cow! That sounds kind of high even for
Florida. Did the guy have a shiny new truck?
Things would work out better if you replaced
the evaporator on the air handler/furnace for
one that matches your new condenser but the
price, I wish I could get away with prices
like that. GEEZ!
