What our Experts Think

• Well‑rounded cooling + high‑efficiency heating: This system combines a 2.5 ton R‑32 air conditioner (~14.5 SEER2) with a 96 % AFUE, 60,000 BTU gas furnace, offering efficient year‑round comfort for small to medium homes.

• Lower energy bills in winter: The 96 % AFUE furnace converts most fuel into heat—only ~4 % is lost—helping reduce heating costs compared to standard 80 % AFUE units.

• Stable, smooth airflow: The furnace’s multi‑speed ECM blower motor delivers controlled airflow with quieter operation and more consistent indoor temperatures than basic single‑speed motors.

• Modern refrigerant and cooling tech: The GLXS4BA3010 condenser uses R‑32 refrigerant for improved thermodynamic efficiency and a factory‑installed TXV evaporator coil helps with better humidity control and cooling responsiveness.

• Versatile installation options: Designed for horizontal placement and multi‑position setups, this system fits attics, crawlspaces, and other tight mechanical areas with installation flexibility.

• Built‑in durability: Goodman components feature heavy‑gauge cabinets, insulated panels, and extended warranty options that support long‑term reliability and easier service access.

• Cost‑effective comfort package: Our experts view this configuration as a solid mid‑efficiency HVAC solution that balances good seasonal efficiency, modern refrigerant tech, and dependable performance at an attractive value.

Q&A

Q: What type of HVAC system is this?
A: This is a complete high-efficiency Goodman 2.5-ton system, including a 14.5 SEER2 air conditioner (GLXS4BA3010), 2.5-ton cased evaporator coil (CHPTA3630B3), and 40,000 BTU 96% AFUE gas furnace (GD9T960403BN) for dependable year-round comfort.

Q: What size home is suitable for this system?
A: A 2.5-ton AC system (30,000 BTU) is ideal for medium-sized homes around 1,200–1,600 sq. ft., depending on insulation, ceiling height, and layout.

Q: How energy efficient is this system?
A: The system delivers 14.5 SEER2 cooling efficiency and a 96% AFUE gas furnace, converting nearly all fuel into usable heat for highly efficient residential heating.

Q: What refrigerant does the air conditioner use?
A: The outdoor condenser uses R‑32 refrigerant, a modern, eco-friendly refrigerant designed to maximize energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact.

Q: Does the furnace include advanced features?
A: Yes. The GD9T960403BN furnace has a variable-speed ECM blower motor, providing quieter operation, improved airflow, and consistent indoor temperatures.

Q: Can this system be installed horizontally?
A: Yes. Both the furnace and coil support horizontal installation, making it suitable for attics, crawl spaces, or closets where vertical space is limited.

Q: What components are included?
A: The package includes:

• GLXS4BA3010 – 2.5 Ton 14.5 SEER2 outdoor AC condenser

• CHPTA3630B3 – 2.5 Ton cased evaporator coil

• GD9T960403BN – 40,000 BTU 96% AFUE gas furnace

Maintenance Tips

• Replace air filters every 1–3 months: Maintains airflow, protects the blower motor, and improves indoor air quality.

• Keep the outdoor condenser clear: Maintain 2–3 ft clearance around the unit and remove leaves, dirt, or debris to ensure optimal cooling performance.

• Inspect evaporator coil and drain pan: Check the CHPTA aluminum coil for dust or clogs to prevent water leaks and maintain efficiency.

• Check refrigerant line insulation: Ensure suction line insulation is intact to prevent energy loss.

• Keep vents and registers unobstructed: Ensures balanced airflow for consistent heating and cooling throughout the home.

• Schedule annual professional service: A certified HVAC technician should inspect the furnace heat exchanger, blower motor, refrigerant levels, and safety controls yearly.

• Maintain a clear furnace area: Keep the surrounding space free of clutter for safe operation and proper airflow.
