I know it can vary quite a bit depending on type of material or efficiency of the compressor but curious on a "ballpark" or "from recent experience" data point.

Wish I could answer that for you but when we moved to TV. I really thought TV really catered to residents but they really don't & neither do vendors & maintenance people. Actually it cost as much or maybe more than people that live outside TV. I talked to 3 or 4 different people that live on the old side (Orange Blossom) & it must be a saying they have over there. They say,"You could live like a millionaire here 15 yrs. ago but now you've got to be a millionaire". Sorry I didn't answer you're exact question but to get anything replaced You're going to pay more to replacement unless you go outside TV & shop. I'm a little disappointed after moving here that there's no GOOD DEALS!

Of course it costs more. Look around at the flowers, landscaping, the cleanliness! Today I'm going to an excellent yoga class - Free. Wednesday we play water volleyball - Free.

We made a bargain with the developer. We are absolutely satisfied that we are getting what we bargained for. No regrets.

For a 2B/2B patio villa, Sunshine A/C, Carrier, 2 ton, 14 seer was $5,071 with a $500 gas rebate.

For a 2B/2B patio villa, roof is $5,350 and the warranty is 50 years. I got this quote back in April 2016, from Scott Smith Roofing, 225.6604.

The furnance will be $3500- Trane or the generic Trane
Roof $4500-4900 - Very important- quality of shingles, even down to the length of nails used so you can get a Wind Mitigation report from them that will please your insurance company and lower your bills.
