This is one of the items which skimping on size/price is probably not the area you want to be cheap
YMMV

I asked Chat GPT. After filling in a lot of information it told me I needed a 3.5 ton unit. Start by asking " How do I size a heat pump unit" at the end of each answer Chat GPT asks if you want to go further just say "yes". I got recommendations for 4 Carrier units and 3 Mitsubishi units with pricing. (Hint: Model # of present unit helpful)
Also sq. ft. is on this site
