Description
The Goodman GPGM36008031 is a 5‑ton (80,000 BTU heat / ~56,000 BTU cooling) packaged gas/electric rooftop or ground-mount HVAC system. It's part of the GPGM3 R‑32 Series and is rated at 13.4 SEER2 and 81 % AFUE, utilizing environmentally friendlier low-GWP R‑32 refrigerant. The unit is housed in a rugged, insulated steel cabinet and includes a versatile multi-position blower, making it a dependable, all-in-one cooling and heating solution for contractors and property managers.
Performance
This unit combines a single-stage scroll compressor with an aluminum MicroChannel coil, delivering dependable efficiency aligned with DOE standards. The 13.4 SEER2 rating ensures stable energy performance while balancing upfront cost—especially valuable for budget-conscious builds. A multi-speed ECM blower motor offers moderate control over airflow and humidity, with performance data supporting typical airflow between 1,200 – 1,500 CFM depending on configuration.
Smart Features
While lacking integrated Wi‑Fi, the GPGM36008031 is ADA/BACnet‑ready with a conventional 24 VAC control interface, compatible with most smart thermostats. It supports standard zoning panel compatibility, offering scalable solutions where multi-zone comfort and energy savings are priorities. This design appeals to tech-forward buyers looking to incrementally add automation.
Comfort & Noise
The system includes a well-insulated cabinet and fan assembly that keeps operating sound around 76–78 dBA, depending on setup. The ECM blower provides quieter, progressive startup and shutoff, reducing noticeable temperature swings. These features contribute to a more serene indoor environment, whether in residential or light commercial installations.
Use Case Fit
With its 5 ton capacity, reliable gas heat, and modest cooling efficiency, the GPGM36008031 serves well in single-family homes, multi-unit residential, office spaces, and small commercial buildings across diverse climate zones. It's especially practical where gas infrastructure is already present. Its multi-position flexibility supports rooftop, curb, downflow, and horizontal installations—important for retrofit and new-construction projects.
Value & Reliability
Built for resilience, the unit features powder-coated steel housing, corrosion-resistant coils, and factory-installed filter driers. Color-coded wiring and tool-free panel access simplify diagnostics. It's certified for R‑32 use and rated at 81 % AFUE, delivering reliable heating performance. For wholesalers and D2C buyers, its balanced upfront cost and low maintenance profile make it a smart investment, while contractors will appreciate its ease of service.
Summary Wrap‑Up
The Goodman GPGM36008031 delivers a clearly defined mix of 80 k BTU heating, ~56 k BTU cooling at 13.4 SEER2, and R‑32 refrigerant efficiency.
