Jen;
Understand I couldn't give you an estimate as a contractor because I haven't
seen your particular home and what needs you may have in addition to
complete the changeout.
But, if you have a Goodman furance that's 11 years old, I'd contact the
manufacturer with the model and serial number. Ask if it's covered under
their existing warranty [unless you are not the original purchaser of the
equipment.] You could find more information about Goodman's warranties here

Goodluck
