2.5 Ton Goodman 14.5 SEER2 R32 A/C System GLXS4BA3010, AMST30BU1300

The midpoint of the GLXS4B lineup pairs the 30,000 BTU/h GLXS4BA3010 condenser with the AMST30BU1300 air handler, a combination listed under AHRI certificate #215214932. This 14.5 SEER2 R-32 split system suits growing families and homeowners in average-sized homes. It also works well for contractors replacing aging 2.5 ton central air where the existing air handler sits in a closet or attic. It’s cooling only as shipped, and you can add field-installed Goodman heat strips for backup heat on cooler mornings.

Is a 2.5 Ton Air Conditioning System the Right Size?

A 2.5 ton system provides 30,000 BTU/h of nominal cooling. It’s a common choice for homes that have outgrown a 2 ton unit but don’t have the load for 3 tons. As a very general reference, that’s often around 1,200-1,500 sq. ft. The decision should still rest on calculated heat gain, not floor area alone.

Open kitchens, vaulted living rooms, large sliding doors and a second-floor bedroom wing can all push a home toward the upper end of the 2.5 ton range. Upgraded attic insulation, low-E windows and sealed ducts can pull it back down. Room-by-room load math also shows how airflow should be split across supply registers.

Ideal for: 3-bedroom ranch homes, townhouses, split-level homes and average-sized single-family houses with moderate sun exposure.

Need more capacity? Step up to the 3 Ton Goodman R32 A/C System GLXS4BA3610, AMST36CU1300 for larger homes, two-story layouts or higher cooling loads.

Recommended home sizes are general guidelines only. Actual system requirements depend on insulation, climate, windows, ductwork, occupancy and a proper load calculation. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

What’s Included

Outdoor Condensing Unit	GLXS4BA3010 – 2.5 Ton R32 Split System Air Conditioner
Indoor Air Handler	AMST30BU1300 Multi-Position ECM Air Handler (B Cabinet, 17.5″ Wide)
Application	Cooling-Only Central Air Split System (Electric Heat Kit Optional)
Refrigerant	R-32
Compressor	Single-Stage Rotary Compressor with Advanced Copeland Technology
Metering Device	Factory-Installed Internal Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV)
Electrical	208/230V, Single Phase, 60 Hz Condensing Unit – 15.0 MCA / 25A Max Overcurrent
Air Handler Electrical	208/240V, Single Phase – 5.6 MCA / 15A Max Overcurrent (No Heat Kit)

The GLXS4BA3010 moves into a larger 29″ x 29″ x 32″ cabinet with a 1/6 HP fan motor. Goodman gives it a 71 dBA sound rating, which is quieter than the 1.5 and 2 ton models. Indoors, the AMST30BU1300 keeps the slim 17.5″ B cabinet but stands 53-7/16″ tall to house a larger coil. That makes it a practical swap in a standard utility closet. If you prefer higher rated efficiency, compare it with the 2.5 ton GLXS4BA3010 system matched with the AMST36CU1300. You can browse more indoor options in our air handlers category.
