I think to get your answers text all you need to do is get a few salesmen into the home for quotes.
Tough to say what you will save if you dont know what the present owners pay...

Heres an excel spreadsheet that helps, but based on American Energy Star requirements.

BTW from my learnings Lennox is NOT the best units out there and are actually no better than mid range. Trane makes great models. But wtf you will have warranties anyways. Make sure whatever you do to get all electronics covered under warranty as well.

Also...dont get pulled into the two speed motor purchase either...you likely dontneed it.

Your cost installed should be in the $3 - 4,000 range all inclusive.
