Compatibility & Installation Notes

The GLXS5BA3010 / GR9T960804CN / CAPTA3026C3 system is designed for residential upflow 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.

As a high-efficiency condensing furnace, the GR9T960804CN requires approved venting and proper condensate drainage. A compatible two-stage thermostat is recommended to provide direct control over both furnace heating stages.

The complete equipment combination should also be checked against applicable manufacturer documentation and AHRI certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in this Goodman HVAC system?

The package includes the GLXS5BA3010 air conditioner, GR9T960804CN gas furnace, and CAPTA3026C3 cased evaporator coil.

What is the cooling capacity of this system?

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

Is the furnace single-stage or two-stage?

The Goodman GR9T960804CN is a two-stage gas furnace. It can operate at a lower heating stage during milder conditions and use the higher stage when additional heat is required.

Does this system require a two-stage thermostat?

A compatible two-stage thermostat is recommended to provide direct control over both heating stages and maximize comfort.

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 76,800 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 upflow installation mean?

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

Does this system use R-32 refrigerant?

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