Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in this Goodman HVAC system?

The package includes the GLXS5BA3010 air conditioner, GR9T960804CN gas furnace, and CAPTA3626C3 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, allowing it to operate at a lower heating level during mild conditions and increase its output when additional heat is required.

Does this system require a two-stage thermostat?

A compatible two-stage thermostat is recommended to provide proper control over both furnace heating stages.

What is the approximate heating output?

With a 96% AFUE rating, the 80,000 BTU furnace provides approximately 76,800 BTU of usable heating output.

Why is a 3-ton evaporator coil paired with a 2.5-ton air conditioner?

A larger nominal coil may be used to achieve the system’s targeted efficiency and airflow performance. The exact combination should be confirmed using applicable AHRI certification data.

Does this condensing furnace require drainage?

Yes. A 96% AFUE condensing furnace produces condensate and requires an approved drainage system in addition to the evaporator coil drain.

Does this system use R-32 refrigerant?

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