Is $1,400 a high amount for replacement of the a/c compressor?

What is your question?

Vehicle taken to regular service station today, suddenly the a/c gives me a breeze but no cold air on any setting except for on first starting. Diagnosis is replace the a/c compressor plus other things, retro fit to the new kind of compressor...this is a lot of money and much higher than this website shows. Female owner. Do you think this is too high?
