Description
The Goodman GLZS5BA3010-AMST36CU1300 is a 3-ton (36,000 BTU) heat pump split system designed to provide reliable and energy-efficient comfort for residential and light commercial spaces. Delivering up to 15.5 SEER2 cooling efficiency and 8.1 HSPF2 heating performance, it ensures cost-effective operation throughout the year. This model operates with R-32 refrigerant, a modern refrigerant choice that reduces environmental impact. The system pairs the GLZS5B outdoor heat pump with the AMST36CU multi-speed air handler, delivering balanced airflow and improved comfort.
Performance
This unit is equipped with a durable scroll compressor and corrosion-resistant all-aluminum coil, engineered for efficient heat transfer and long-term dependability. The AMST36CU air handler employs multi-speed blower technology, which adapts airflow output to match heating or cooling demand. This design helps maintain steady temperatures, increases efficiency, and provides superior humidity management compared to single-speed options.
Smart Features
The GLZS5BA3010-AMST36CU1300 supports ComfortBridge® technology, allowing integration with smart thermostats, zoning equipment, and diagnostic tools. With advanced connectivity, users and contractors can optimize system performance, monitor energy use, and manage comfort levels across multiple zones with ease.
Comfort & Noise
Operating at approximately 70 dBA, the outdoor unit is designed for quiet performance. The multi-speed air handler reduces noise indoors by maintaining smooth airflow transitions, minimizing temperature fluctuations, and promoting consistent humidity control. This ensures occupant comfort with reduced background noise.
Use Case Fit
Best suited for medium to large residential homes, apartments, and light commercial properties, this 3-ton system performs well in southern and transitional climates where long cooling seasons and reliable heating are essential. Its adaptable airflow and efficiency make it versatile across a wide range of applications.
Value & Reliability
Constructed with a heavy-gauge, powder-coated steel cabinet for outdoor protection, this system is built to endure challenging conditions. The scroll compressor offers smoother operation and greater reliability than piston alternatives, while the multi-speed blower reduces system stress, ensuring dependable long-term performance for contractors, property managers, and homeowners.
