Description
The Goodman GPHM53631 is a 3-ton, 36,000 BTU packaged heat pump unit designed for efficient year-round climate control in both residential and light commercial environments. This horizontal-discharge system operates with R-32 refrigerant, which offers a lower global warming potential (GWP) compared to R-410A. Delivering up to 13.4 SEER2 cooling efficiency and 6.7 HSPF2 heating performance, the unit combines energy savings with robust climate control. It integrates a factory-installed ECM indoor blower motor and aluminum MicroChannel coils for compact, corrosion-resistant performance. Designed for rooftop or ground-level installation, the GPHM53631 is a smart choice for space-conscious applications.
Performance
Built for consistent comfort and reliable performance, the GPHM53631 features a high-efficiency scroll compressor that ensures stable operation with minimal energy loss. Its enhanced aluminum MicroChannel coil technology allows for superior heat exchange and reduced refrigerant charge. The system’s 208/230V, single-phase power input and multi-speed ECM blower motor offer flexible, responsive airflow. With airflow capacity up to 1,200 CFM, it meets the needs of larger zones while minimizing cycling and energy waste. Designed to meet DOE 2023 efficiency standards, it delivers performance suitable for demanding climates.
Smart Features
The GPHM5 Series supports advanced thermostat controls, including third-party smart thermostat integration for zoning and schedule management. Though not Wi-Fi enabled by default, the system is fully compatible with most aftermarket HVAC smart controls. These enhancements help improve energy efficiency through intelligent temperature regulation and remote access capabilities. Additionally, the GPHM53631’s control board includes built-in diagnostic LEDs for easy servicing and system monitoring, enabling faster diagnostics and less downtime.
Comfort & Noise
With sound levels as low as 74.5 dBA, the GPHM53631 is engineered for quieter operation, reducing disruption in both residential and light commercial spaces. The ECM blower motor modulates airflow to reduce hot and cold spots, improving indoor comfort. With airflow up to 1,200 CFM and consistent temperature regulation, this unit keeps occupants comfortable without dramatic swings in humidity or indoor temperature. The horizontal-discharge design further contributes to reduced noise near windows, patios, or walkways.
Use Case Fit
The Goodman GPHM53631 is an ideal fit for residential homes, multi-family buildings, and light commercial properties seeking reliable heating and cooling from a single packaged unit. Its efficient R-32 refrigerant and DOE 2023 compliance make it particularly well-suited for regions with warm climates such as the southern U.S. Compact dimensions and horizontal discharge allow it to be installed where space is limited, including rooftops or slab-mounted ground applications. Whether for new builds or HVAC system replacements, this unit offers broad compatibility and energy savings.
Value & Reliability
Designed with durability in mind, the GPHM53631 includes a galvanized steel cabinet with louvered coil protection and a UV-resistant powder-paint finish to withstand harsh outdoor conditions. The MicroChannel coil design not only reduces refrigerant charge but also improves corrosion resistance, making it an excellent choice for coastal or high-humidity areas. Service-friendly features like color-coded wiring and top-panel access streamline maintenance and minimize service time, helping reduce total cost of ownership over the system’s life.
Summary Wrap-Up
The Goodman GPHM53631 packaged heat pump unit offers an optimized blend of energy efficiency, advanced airflow, and quiet performance in a compact, easy-to-install design. Ideal for D2C buyers, contractors, and property managers, this 3-ton, R-32 system delivers reliable heating and cooling with long-term savings in mind. With features tailored for residential and light commercial applications, it balances eco-conscious performance and rugged dependability. Whether you're replacing aging equipment or outfitting a new property, the GPHM53631 stands out as a smart investment for modern HVAC needs.
