Description
Product Summary
The Goodman MBVC1601AA-1 is a 1,600 CFM variable-speed modular blower with ComfortNet Communicating controls in a 21-inch cabinet. It pairs with a separate cased evaporator coil to form a flexible air handler for split systems and heat pumps.
The modular design lets installers stack or place the blower and coil separately for tight spaces, and field electric heat kits can be added on 208/230V models.
