No one can directly answer your inquiry. Be prepared, the expected life for an AC unit in Florida is about 14 years. At 18 years old it may not make sense to put serious money into it. Working but weak, it could be an issue with the ducts. Some systems have more than one filter and people only change the one that they know about. If, it is on the old type of freon, it has gone way up in price-if you can get it.
The tonnage may be marked on the air handler, likely in your garage. If, not the serial number will tell the tech or you may be able to call Trane or find it on the internet.
GOOD LUCK
