Hello, it depends where the unit is leaking from, if it is leaking from the condensing unit then you can just replace the condenser, however if it is leaking from the evaporator coil then you will need to replace the evaporater. As far as brand for replacement I like rheem equipment. The best thing to do is have a hvac technician come out and give you a estimate on a new AC and then you can make a decision.
It appears you may have a 5ton unit, if your house is over
2000sq. feet then Im guessing that 60 thats appears in
the model number is equal to 5ton. 12,000 btus per ton

Your outside unit is not defrosting. You need to call a service tech to check it out. Defrost board sensor or low on gas. Also you amy have an outside tstat that is not working correctly. Rus
Sounds like the Unit might be low on charge.But without correct readings not sure.
The new unit with 410 will actually cool better due to higher boiling point temp. of freon type.Poor air circulation could also cause problem.Such as dirty filter, too slow fan speed,dirty coil.Also could have obstruction in freon lines either at pump,in line set,or in coil.
Get someone u trust to check it out and ask for their Rudd Dealership Training Credentials.
You possibly shorted out the indoor transformer. The primary side of the transformer will open/burn up when low voltage wiring is shorted. But if indoor unit comes on i.e fan motor works and you cant hear contactor come on on the outside unit you may still have and open circuit on those wires you broke. If you hear the contactor hum or come on you may have a problem with incoming power to the outdoor unit or a pitted contactor. Try those things first.
