    Generally yes. There are way too many variables. Have a Manual J calculation performed to size unit and get 3 estimates.

    The SEER rating determines operating cost.

    I assume you have a ducted heating system. If so, you can add a cooling coil into the duct with a direct expansion (DX) condenser. Daikin make a very good model. You could actually get a heat pump version and use the same system for heating (saving your furnace).

    Relatively easy to do but as I'm in the UK I don't know about the cost - maybe $1,000 to 1,500 installed
