Compatibility & Installation Notes

The GLXS5BA3010 / GD9S960403BN / CAPTA3626B3 system is designed for residential downflow applications. Compatibility with the property’s ductwork, electrical service, natural gas supply, refrigerant lines, condensate drainage, thermostat, and high-efficiency furnace venting must be confirmed before installation.

The evaporator coil has a larger nominal capacity than the outdoor condenser. This pairing may be used as part of an approved matched configuration, but the complete combination should be verified using applicable manufacturer documentation and AHRI certification.

As a high-efficiency condensing furnace, the GD9S960403BN requires approved venting and proper condensate drainage. Depending on the installation surface, an approved downflow base or combustible-floor accessory may also be required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in this Goodman HVAC system?

The package includes the GLXS5BA3010 air conditioner, GD9S960403BN gas furnace, and CAPTA3626B3 cased evaporator coil.

What is the cooling capacity of this system?

The air conditioner provides 2.5 tons or 30,000 BTU of cooling capacity.

Why does this system include a 3-ton evaporator coil?

The 3-ton evaporator coil may be paired with the 2.5-ton outdoor condenser to support the specified system configuration. The complete combination should be verified as an approved AHRI match.

Is the furnace single-stage or two-stage?

The Goodman GD9S960403BN is a single-stage gas furnace that provides consistent heating output.

What does 96% AFUE mean?

It means approximately 96% of the furnace’s fuel is converted into usable heating energy, providing an estimated heating output of 38,400 BTU.

Does this furnace require condensate drainage?

Yes. Because it is a high-efficiency condensing furnace, it requires proper furnace condensate drainage in addition to drainage for the evaporator coil.

What does downflow installation mean?

In a downflow installation, return air enters through the top of the furnace and heated or cooled air exits through the bottom.

Does this system use R-32 refrigerant?

Yes. The air conditioner and evaporator coil are designed for R-32 refrigerant.
