Description
The Goodman 3 Ton 15 SEER2 80% AFUE 100,000 BTU Gas Electric Air Conditioner Split System Downflow R-32 (GLXS5BA3610 / GD9S801005CN / CAPTA4230C3) is a complete residential heating and cooling solution designed for dependable year-round comfort. This matched system combines a 3-ton R-32 air conditioner, 80% AFUE gas furnace, and 3.5-ton cased evaporator coil for energy-efficient cooling and reliable heating.
Designed for downflow installation, the system features a single-stage gas furnace and a multi-speed ECM blower motor for consistent airflow and efficient operation. In a downflow configuration, return air enters through the top of the furnace, while conditioned air exits through the bottom.

Compatibility & Installation Notes
The GLXS5BA3610 / GD9S801005CN / CAPTA4230C3 system is designed for residential downflow applications. Compatibility with the property’s ductwork, electrical service, natural gas supply, refrigerant lines, condensate drainage, thermostat, and 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 equipment combination should be verified using applicable manufacturer documentation and an AHRI-certified system match.
Depending on the installation surface, an approved downflow base or combustible-floor accessory may be required. A professional heating-load calculation is also recommended to confirm that the 100,000 BTU furnace is appropriately sized for the property.
