2.5 Ton 15.2 SEER2 96% AFUE 100,000 BTU Goodman Gas Furnace and Air Conditioner System – Upflow – GLXS5BA3010,CAPTA3022C3,GR9T961004CN

OVERVIEW

As a high-efficiency system, the GR9T961004CN Goodman gas furnace features many money saving features. The two-stage, 9-speed furnace uses a superior heat exchanger for better heat transfers to your home. Considered one of the best efficiencies on the market, the GR9T961004CN is a good way to go if you want to lower your gas bill.

QUICK FACTS

• This furnace is ideal to heat a larger house (depending on climate)
• 100,000 BTU 96% AFUE natural gas furnace
• Requires plastic/PVC flue venting
• Complies with Clean Air Act New Refrigerant Requirements
• Can be used in the upflow or horizontal orientation
• Can be converted to an LP furnace with an optional conversion kit (sold separately)
• Innovative design for electrical efficiency, safety, and lower sound output

100,000 BTU

Heating up to a larger house in normal conditions, the GR9T961004CN Goodman gas furnace has an input of 100,000 BTU’s and an output of 96,000 BTU’s. The output in this case is determined by taking the input times the efficiency rating.

96% AFUE

The GR9T961004CN Goodman gas furnace is a 96% efficient furnace, making it a condensing setup. This efficiency means that only 4% of the fuel going into the furnace is used up in furnace operations, while 96% of the fuel is used to heat your home. As a condensing furnace, this furnace will need to be vented with plastic or PVC flue venting. If you need to use metal flue venting, you would need an 80% efficient furnace.

Two Stage 9-Speed Furnace

With a two stage burner, the GR9T961004CN provides two heating outputs: one at a 60% heating output and one at a 100% output. The furnace also has a 9 speed ECM motor instead of the last-generation inefficient PSC motor. Both of these built-in upgrades allow for your furnace to adjust the heating output and airflow more precisely to better suit your home’s comfort needs and provide a slightly higher efficiency.

Warranty

With installation that follows your state and local codes and with online registration, all Goodman furnaces come with a 10-year parts and lifetime heat exchanger warranty through the manufacturer.

Durability and Reliability

The exterior casing on the GR9T961004CN is heavy-gauge steel that is insulated for enhanced protection and to lower air leakage and sound output from normal furnace operation. The hot surface ignitor is more efficient than earlier models and standing pilot lights thanks to its revolutionary new technology. Both of these end up saving you money on installation, maintenance, and bills.

Installation and Maintenance

The cost-saving benefits of the Goodman brand doesn’t stop at efficiency. The GR9T961004CN Goodman furnace can be upflow or horizontal, increasing the number of ways that your installer can install the system. The low-voltage terminals that are color-coded, the installation is faster and easier over standard non-colored systems. Straight from the factory, the GR9T961004CN comes with natural gas valves. However, increasing its versatility in installation, Goodman offers an LP conversion kit (found here at an additional cost) if you need it to be propane instead of natural gas. Not only does the Goodman brand save you money on installation costs, but also with maintenance and warranty work. In the event of a rare warranty issue, the on board self-diagnostic control board alerts you and your serviceman what is wrong with the unit for most basic issues for a faster solution.

Please note that this furnace requires a drain kit if installed horizontally. Upflow configurations do not require the kit.

OVERVIEW

Goodman has always set its goals at superior comfort at a high efficiency, all the while balancing the unit’s cost. The GLXS5BA3010 is no exception, with its durability, reliability, and one of the highest efficiencies available.

QUICK FACTS

• Ideal size to cover a small to medium house in ideal climates
• 2.5 ton, 15.2 SEER2 AC-only condenser
• R32: Complies with Clean Air Act New Refrigerant Requirements
• Fully charged for up to 15′ of line set
• Low sound output
• Factory-installed filter drier

2.5 Ton

The GLXS5BA3010 AC-only condenser is 2.5 tons, normally enough to cover up to a small to medium house. Please note that in some cases, the system bundle pairs this unit with a larger tonnage coil to maintain the system’s efficiency.

15.2 SEER2

The GLXS5BA3010 condenser is designed to be up to 15.2 SEER2 in ideal system configurations. Considered a high-efficiency, 15.2 SEER2 is around 12% more efficient than a 14.3 SEER2 system, saving you a lot of money in energy bills. 15.2 SEER2 efficiency ratings tend to be where cost meets efficiency, and is normally the best value for the efficiency.

Warranty

The GLXS5BA3010 condenser comes with Goodman’s standard 10 year parts warranty with online registration through the manufacturer. An installation that follows your state and local codes is required for the warranty to be upheld.

Durability and Reliability

The cabinet of Goodman’s condensers are manufactured out of heavy-gauge galvanized-steel with a baked-on painted finish that is approved for 500 hours of salt spray. The durable cabinet of the GLXS5BA3010 is also compliant with 2010 Florida building code integrity requirements for hurricane-strength weather.

Installation and Maintenance

For easier maintenance, Goodman designed the GLXS5BA3010’s cabinet with two maintenance access panels – one on the top and one on the side. For easier installation, the GLXS5BA3010 is made with easy-access gauge ports and service valves with sweat connections. Both of these lower installation and maintenance times and costs, keeping money in your pocket for the things you care about most.
