Description
The Goodman GPHH34231 is a 3.5‑ton (42,000 BTU) packaged heat pump from the GPHH3 R‑32 Series, delivering balanced heating and cooling in a single outdoor unit. With R‑32 refrigerant and performance ratings of 13.4 SEER2 and 6.70 HSPF2, it's engineered for efficient year-round operation. As a horizontal-packaged design, it can be roof- or ground-mounted and includes essential specs like 208/230 V, single‑phase power, and a multi-speed ECM blower. Built for direct-to-consumer, contractor, and commercial markets, it combines modern energy standards with practical reliability.
Performance
This unit uses a single-stage scroll compressor and multi-speed ECM indoor blower motor to ensure reliable and responsive heating and cooling. The copper tube/aluminum fin condenser coil paired with an all-aluminum evaporator coil enhances thermal exchange efficiency. Rated at an EER2 of 10.6, it maintains strong performance under peak loads. Maximum airflow reaches approximately 1,736 CFM, providing smooth, consistent air delivery.
Smart Features
The GPHH34231 supports advanced smart thermostat and zoning control compatibility (via third-party accessories), enabling precise temperature regulation and energy-saving scheduling. Though not equipped with factory Wi‑Fi, its control panel supports integration with Goodman’s accessory ecosystem for remote access and zone-based comfort management—ideal for modern HVAC setups.
Comfort & Noise
Designed for quiet horizontal discharge, the unit operates at approximately 76 dBA maximum, minimizing sound impact indoors or on rooftops. Insulated blower compartments and vibration isolators enhance acoustic comfort, ensuring steady airflow and reduced noise disruptions.
Use Case Fit
This heat pump suits mid-size to large residential homes (1,700–2,200 ft²), multi-family units, and light commercial spaces. Its use of R‑32 refrigerant aligns with U.S. and Canadian environmental regulations. Whether rooftop or pad-mounted, it's a smart choice for new construction or retrofits in mild to varied climates.
Value & Reliability
The cabinet features heavy-gauge galvanized steel, powder-coat finish, internal insulation, and meets ASHRAE 193 airtight standards. Certified UL, ISO, and AHRI (#216759868), it’s proven for lasting durability. With easy-access panels and fully charged refrigerant, service time is reduced and contractor efficiency is improved.
Summary Wrap‑Up
Offering 42,000 BTU capacity, solid efficiency (13.4 SEER2 / 6.7 HSPF2), and quiet operation, the GPHH34231 is a smart, cost-effective solution for homes and commercial settings. Its compatibility with smart zones, durable build, and modern refrigerant position it as a compelling option for D2C buyers, contractors, and property managers seeking value-driven, future-ready HVAC solutions.
