Q&A

Q: What’s included in this system?
A: This is a complete split HVAC system that includes a Goodman 1.5 ton 14.5 SEER2 R32 air conditioner condenser (GLXS5BA1810), a cased evaporator coil (CAPTA2422B3), and a 60,000 BTU 96% AFUE gas furnace (GR9S960603BN) — matched for efficient year‑round comfort.

Q: What cooling capacity does it offer?
A: The outdoor AC condenser delivers about 18,000 BTU (1.5 tons) of cooling with a 14.5 SEER2 efficiency rating, helping reduce energy use and costs.

Q: How strong is the heating performance?
A: The gas furnace provides 60,000 BTU of heating input with a 96% AFUE efficiency, meaning most of the fuel is converted into usable heat for efficient winter warmth.

Q: What refrigerant does this system use?
A: The system uses R‑32 refrigerant, which has lower global warming potential (GWP) compared to many older refrigerants.

Q: What kind of blower and furnace operation does it use?
A: The furnace features a multi‑speed ECM blower motor for smoother, quieter airflow. It’s a single‑stage burner for reliable heat output whenever there’s a call from the thermostat.

Q: What installation orientation does it support?
A: Designed primarily for upflow installation, but many installations can accommodate horizontal airflow with proper ductwork planning.

Maintenance Tips

• Replace air filters every 1–3 months to maintain airflow and system efficiency.

• Keep supply and return vents clear of furniture, dust, and debris.

• Maintain 2–3 feet of clearance around the furnace and condenser for safe operation.

• Inspect the condensate drain line regularly to prevent clogs and water damage.

• Check thermostat settings and operation for proper heating and cooling cycles.

• Examine vent pipes, ductwork, and connections for leaks or blockages.

• Clean blower compartment and indoor coil surfaces to reduce dust buildup.

• Inspect the outdoor air conditioner coil periodically and remove debris to maintain efficiency.

• Listen for unusual noises such as rattling, buzzing, or humming indicating potential mechanical issues.

• Schedule annual professional HVAC maintenance to inspect burners, heat exchanger, refrigerant levels, and electrical components.
