What our Experts Think

• Matched HVAC Comfort System – Combines a **2.5 ton air conditioner with an 80,000 BTU, 96% AFUE gas furnace for full year‑round comfort across seasons.

• High Heating Efficiency (96% AFUE) – Delivers excellent fuel efficiency so most gas energy becomes heat, cutting winter operating costs compared to lower‑efficiency units.

• 13.4 SEER2 Cooling Performance – Meets energy‑efficiency standards for cost‑effective cooling and compliance with modern DOE guidelines.

• Horizontal Installation – Designed for horizontal duct layouts (attic or crawl space), simplifying installation in tighter spaces.

• R‑32 Refrigerant Compliance – Uses next‑generation, lower global‑warming refrigerant, improving environmental performance.

• Multi‑Speed ECM Furnace Blower – Provides quieter airflow with optimized circulation, enhancing comfort and reducing noise.

• Factory‑Matched Coil with TXV – Built‑in thermal expansion valve in the horizontal coil improves refrigerant control, boosting cooling precision and efficiency.

• Durable, Code‑Compliant Design – Includes galvanized cabinets and quality construction for reliable performance and simplified maintenance.

Q&A

Q: What’s included in this Goodman system?
A: A matched HVAC package with a 2.5 ton 13.4 SEER2 R32 air conditioner condenser, a horizontal evaporator coil (CHPTA3630C3) with TXV, and an 80,000 BTU 96% AFUE gas furnace for year‑round comfort.

Q: What size home is it best for?
A: With 2.5 ton (≈30,000 BTU) cooling and 80,000 BTU heating, this system suits medium‑sized homes (~1,200–2,000 sq ft) depending on insulation, layout, and climate.

Q: What does 13.4 SEER2 efficiency mean?
A: 13.4 SEER2 reflects seasonal cooling efficiency, helping reduce electricity use vs older units while meeting current energy standards.

Q: What does 96% AFUE mean for heating?
A: 96% AFUE means 96% of the gas energy becomes usable heat for your home, delivering high heating efficiency and lower fuel costs.

Q: What refrigerant does this system use?
A: It uses R32 refrigerant, a more efficient and lower‑impact option than many older refrigerants.

Q: What are the furnace features?
A: The 80,000 BTU furnace works in horizontal orientation, has a multi‑speed ECM blower for quieter operation, and requires plastic/PVC flue venting typical of high‑efficiency models.

Q: What does the CHPTA3630C3 coil do?
A: The horizontal evaporator coil with factory‑installed TXV optimizes refrigerant flow for improved cooling efficiency and performance.

Maintenance Tips

• Replace Air Filters Every 1–3 Months: Maintains airflow, efficiency, and protects both furnace and AC components.

• Keep Vents & Registers Clear: Ensure supply and return vents are unobstructed for consistent heating and cooling.

• Clean Outdoor AC Condenser: Rinse coils every 3–6 months to maintain SEER2 efficiency and prevent debris buildup.

• Annual Professional Inspection: Have a certified technician check burners, heat exchanger, gas pressure, and airflow for safe and efficient furnace operation.

• Inspect Refrigerant Lines & Insulation: Ensure lines are intact and insulation is in good condition for optimal R32 performance.

• Maintain Condensate Drains: Keep both furnace and AC drain lines clear to prevent water issues or system shutdowns.

• Schedule Yearly Professional Service: Inspect electrical connections, airflow, and overall system performance.

• Monitor for Unusual Signs: Strange noises, odors, or inconsistent heating/cooling require prompt professional attention.
