Description
The Goodman GLXS4MA1810-AMST24BU1300 system combines a 1.5-ton GLXS4M R-32 condenser with a matching AMST24BU1300 multi-positional air handler. This split system delivers 18,000 BTU cooling capacity with a 15.2 SEER2 efficiency rating and a 9.5 HSPF2 heating rating. Designed for upflow, downflow, or horizontal installation, it’s perfect for residential, multifamily, and light commercial applications, appealing to both homeowners and HVAC contractors seeking an efficient, flexible cooling solution.
Performance
Equipped with a single-stage scroll compressor and a copper tube-enhanced aluminum fin coil, the GLXS4MA1810 condenser optimizes heat transfer while maintaining reliability. The AMST24BU1300 air handler uses a direct-drive ECM blower motor to provide consistent airflow ranging from 350 to 850 CFM. This combination ensures balanced energy efficiency and dependable performance across typical cooling loads.
Smart Features
This system supports compatibility with popular programmable and smart thermostats, enabling zoning capabilities and remote temperature control. The multi-speed ECM blower motor enhances comfort customization, while thermostat compatibility allows integration into advanced home automation systems for convenient and efficient operation.
Comfort & Noise
Airflow is finely tunable between 350 and 850 CFM, supporting precise temperature control. The outdoor condenser operates at an acoustically optimized sound level near 68 dBA, and the indoor unit includes foil-faced insulation and a thermoplastic condensate pan to reduce noise and vibration, creating a comfortable, quiet indoor environment.
Use Case Fit
Ideal for small residences, apartments, multifamily units, and light commercial spaces, this 1.5-ton system’s multi-positional air handler offers versatile installation options in attics, closets, or basements. Engineered to perform efficiently across diverse climates, the system is well-suited to meet the cooling needs of regions ranging from humid Southeast to temperate West.
Value & Reliability
Both units feature galvanized, powder-coated steel cabinets with corrosion-resistant coatings. The condenser includes a factory-installed filter drier and high-pressure switch for enhanced durability, while the air handler’s SmartFrame™ cabinet meets AHRI/ETL certification standards and is tested for less than 2% air leakage. This robust design ensures low maintenance and long-lasting performance.
