What our Experts Think

• Right‑Sized Cooling & Heating
  • 1.5 ton capacity delivers balanced cooling and heating for small living spaces, avoiding oversizing and unnecessary energy waste.

• Energy‑Smart Cooling (13.4 SEER2)
  • 13.4 SEER2 offers good summer efficiency and consistent comfort without premium system costs — ideal for everyday use.

• High‑Efficiency Heating (96% AFUE)
  • Excellent 96% Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency helps reduce winter energy expenses by turning most fuel into heat.

• Horizontal Installation Flexibility
  • Designed for horizontal airflow applications, which makes it a great fit in attics, crawl spaces, or compact mechanical areas where vertical space is limited.

• Modern R‑32 Refrigerant
  • Uses R‑32, a more efficient, lower‑impact refrigerant that supports better system performance versus older options.

• Dependable Goodman Durability
  • Built with durable components and accessible service points, this system is practical for long‑term comfort and easier maintenance.

Q&A

Q: What components are included in this HVAC package?
A: A matched set including a 1.5 ton R‑32 air conditioner condenser (GLXS3BN1810), a horizontal evaporator coil (CHPTA2426B3), and a 60,000 BTU 96% AFUE gas furnace (GCVC960603BN) for complete year‑round comfort.

Q: What size home is this system suitable for?
A: The 1.5 ton cooling capacity and 60,000 BTU heating output are ideal for smaller homes or spaces, depending on insulation, climate, and duct design.

Q: How efficient is the cooling component?
A: The air conditioner delivers ~13.4 SEER2 efficiency, balancing energy savings with reliable performance.

Q: What does 96% AFUE mean?
A: 96% AFUE means that 96% of combustion fuel becomes usable heat, reducing fuel waste and lowering heating costs.

Q: What type of furnace performance features are included?
A: The furnace uses a two‑stage burner and variable‑speed blower motor for more consistent comfort and quieter operation.

Q: What refrigerant is used?
A: The system uses R‑32 refrigerant, which offers improved energy efficiency and a lower environmental impact versus older refrigerants.

Q: What installation orientation is supported?
A: Designed for horizontal installation, making it suitable for attics, crawlspaces, or tight mechanical rooms.

Maintenance Tips

• Replace or Clean Air Filters
  Inspect monthly; replace every 1–3 months to maintain airflow and efficiency.

• Clean Condenser and Evaporator Coils
  Dirt buildup reduces cooling efficiency; schedule annual professional cleaning.

• Inspect Furnace Burner and Heat Exchanger
  Annual inspection ensures safe operation and maintains 96% AFUE efficiency.

• Check Condensate Drain and Pan
  Clear blockages to prevent water damage and maintain AC performance.

• Maintain System Clearance
  Keep 2–3 ft around indoor and outdoor units free from debris for proper airflow.

• Verify Thermostat and System Operation
  Ensure heating and cooling cycles function correctly and thermostat is properly calibrated.

• Schedule Annual Professional Service
  Technician should check gas lines, electrical connections, refrigerant levels, and blower operation to extend system lifespan.
