Goodman 3.5 Ton Upflow Gas Split System – 80% AFUE – 15.2 SEER2

The Goodman 3.5 Ton Upflow Gas Split System is a complete residential heating and cooling package designed for an upflow installation. It combines the Goodman GLXS4BA4210 outdoor air conditioner, CAPTA4230C3 cased evaporator coil, and GR9S800804CN natural gas furnace.

This matched equipment combination provides approximately 42,000 BTU per hour of nominal cooling capacity and 80,000 BTU per hour of furnace input. It is rated at 15.2 SEER2 and 12.0 EER2 under AHRI reference number 214860003. The furnace provides single-stage natural gas heating with an 80% AFUE rating.

Correct system capacity must be determined through a professional HVAC load calculation. Square footage alone does not account for climate, insulation, windows, construction, occupancy, building orientation, ductwork, air leakage, and other conditions that affect heating and cooling requirements.

Goodman 3.5 Ton Upflow Gas Split System Overview

The Goodman 3.5 Ton Upflow Gas Split System uses the GLXS4BA4210 single-stage air conditioner from Goodman’s GLXS4B series. This outdoor unit operates with R-32 refrigerant and includes an energy-efficient compressor, condenser fan motor, factory-installed filter drier, high-pressure switch, and service valves with sweat connections.

The CAPTA4230C3 is a cased A-coil designed for compatible upflow or downflow applications. It features all-aluminum evaporator-coil construction, a factory-installed thermal expansion valve, foil-faced cabinet insulation, and a rust-resistant thermoplastic drain pan. In this system, the coil is intended to be installed above the furnace in an upflow configuration.

Natural gas heating is provided by the GR9S800804CN furnace. This model has a nominal input capacity of 80,000 BTU per hour, single-stage gas heating, an 80% AFUE rating, and a multi-speed ECM blower motor. Its 21-inch cabinet width matches the selected evaporator coil for proper equipment alignment.

System Compatibility

The efficiency stated for the Goodman 3.5 Ton Upflow Gas Split System applies specifically to the GLXS4BA4210, CAPTA4230C3, and GR9S800804CN combination represented by AHRI reference number 214860003. Substituting a condenser, evaporator coil, furnace, metering device, or blower setting can change the system’s efficiency and certified performance.

The CAPTA4230C3 supports compatible upflow and downflow installations, while the GR9S800804CN furnace supports upflow and horizontal positioning. This package is specifically presented as an upflow system, with the evaporator coil installed above the furnace.

A qualified HVAC professional must confirm equipment positioning, furnace and coil alignment, available installation space, supply and return duct connections, required clearances, blower settings, condensate drainage, natural gas service, venting, and refrigerant piping requirements.

R-32 Refrigerant Information

The cooling components in the Goodman 3.5 Ton Upflow Gas Split System use R-32 refrigerant. Installation and service require R-32-compatible tools, components, procedures, and safety practices. Refrigerant piping, evacuation, leak testing, charging, and commissioning must be completed by qualified personnel according to Goodman instructions and applicable regulations.

The outdoor air conditioner is factory charged for the manufacturer’s specified standard tubing length. The installer must verify the actual refrigerant line length, required line sizes, vertical separation, installation conditions, and any necessary refrigerant adjustment before commissioning the equipment.

Warranty and Official Documentation

Warranty coverage varies according to the individual component, installation, application, registration status, property type, location, and Goodman’s current warranty terms. Product registration may be required within the manufacturer’s specified period to receive enhanced coverage where permitted.

Review the applicable Goodman warranty information before purchase and complete the Goodman product registration after installation.

Technical information is available in the official Goodman GLXS4B product specifications, Goodman CAPTA coil specifications, and Goodman GR9S80 furnace specifications.

Professional Installation Notice

The Goodman 3.5 Ton Upflow Gas Split System requires professional installation. A qualified HVAC contractor must verify the cooling and heating load, equipment compatibility, natural gas supply, venting, combustion-air requirements, electrical service, refrigerant piping, condensate drainage, ductwork, airflow, clearances, permits, and local code requirements.

Use the Xpress AC sizing calculator only as an initial planning resource. Final capacity and equipment selection should be confirmed through an appropriate residential load calculation before purchasing or installing the system.
