Compatibility & Installation Notes
The GLXS5BA3610 / GD9T801005CX / CHPTA4230C3 system is intended for residential horizontal applications. The nominally larger 3.5-ton evaporator coil may be paired with the 3-ton condenser to help achieve the specified efficiency. The complete equipment combination and efficiency rating should be confirmed through the applicable AHRI certification.
Compatibility with the property’s ductwork, electrical service, natural gas supply, refrigerant lines, condensate drainage, and approved furnace venting must be confirmed before installation. A compatible two-stage thermostat is recommended to access the furnace’s complete staging capabilities.
Installation Notes
- Verify compatibility with the existing horizontal ductwork
- Complete heating and cooling load calculations before installation
- Confirm electrical service and natural gas connection requirements
- Check the required refrigerant line sizes before installation
- Install approved furnace venting
- Provide proper evaporator coil condensate drainage
- Use a compatible two-stage thermostat for optimal heating control
- Verify clearance and duct transitions for the larger evaporator coil
- Verify the matched system and efficiency rating with an AHRI certificate
- Installation should be completed by a qualified HVAC professional
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in this Goodman HVAC system?
The package includes the GLXS5BA3610 air conditioner, GD9T801005CX gas furnace, and CHPTA4230C3 horizontal evaporator coil.
What is the cooling capacity of this system?
The air conditioner provides 3 tons or 36,000 BTU of cooling capacity.
Why is a 3.5-ton evaporator coil paired with a 3-ton air conditioner?
A nominally larger evaporator coil may be paired with a smaller condenser to help achieve the system’s specified efficiency. The complete combination should be verified through its applicable AHRI certification.
Is the furnace single-stage or two-stage?
The Goodman GD9T801005CX 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.
What does 80% AFUE mean?
It means approximately 80% of the furnace’s fuel is converted into usable heating energy, providing an estimated heating output of 80,000 BTU.
Where can this system be installed?
Its horizontal configuration makes it suitable for attics, crawl spaces, and other limited-height installation areas, subject to local codes and installation requirements.
Does this system use R-32 refrigerant?
Yes. The air conditioner and evaporator coil are designed for R-32 refrigerant.
