Description
The Goodman GLZS5BA1810-AMST30BU1300 is a 1.5-ton (18,000 BTU) heat pump split system designed to deliver energy-efficient heating and cooling for small residential and light commercial spaces. It achieves up to 15.5 SEER2 cooling efficiency and 8.1 HSPF2 heating performance, operating with eco-friendly R-32 refrigerant for reduced environmental impact. This system pairs the GLZS5B outdoor heat pump with the AMST30BU multi-speed air handler, providing controlled airflow and dependable comfort in compact HVAC applications.
Performance
Powered by a high-efficiency scroll compressor and corrosion-resistant all-aluminum coil, this system ensures excellent heat transfer, durability, and long service life. The AMST30BU air handler’s multi-speed motor adapts airflow delivery, promoting stable temperatures, reduced humidity, and better energy savings compared to single-speed systems. This makes the unit effective in environments that demand both consistent cooling and heating.
Smart Features
The GLZS5BA1810-AMST30BU1300 is ComfortBridge® technology compatible, giving homeowners and contractors access to advanced diagnostics and remote system management. When paired with smart or programmable thermostats, the system allows zoning capabilities and enhanced control over energy consumption, ensuring optimal comfort in different areas of the home or property.
Comfort & Noise
Operating at outdoor sound levels of <72 dBA, this model is designed for quiet performance. The AMST30BU air handler delivers even airflow, minimizing hot and cold spots while maintaining steady humidity control. Together, these features create a comfortable and consistent indoor environment while limiting background noise.
Use Case Fit
This system is ideal for smaller homes, apartments, and townhomes, as well as select light commercial applications where efficient cooling and moderate heating are required. It performs exceptionally well in southern and transitional climate zones where long cooling seasons are common.
Value & Reliability
The GLZS5BA1810-AMST30BU1300 is housed in a powder-coated heavy-gauge steel cabinet designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.
