Goodman R-32 Ceiling-Mount Air Handlers

Goodman ACST R-32 ducted ceiling-mount air handlers hang horizontally above a ceiling or soffit, freeing up floor and closet space. Each unit has a multi-speed ECM blower, a factory TXV and built-in electric heat from 5 to 10 kW. Sizes 1.5 to 2.5 ton.

Which Goodman air handler fits your home?

• AMST multi-position: 9-speed ECM blower and factory TXV. Installs upflow, downflow or horizontal in a closet, attic or basement. The best-value choice for most homes.
• AMVT variable-speed: communicating variable-speed blower for quieter airflow, steadier temperatures and better humidity control. Pairs with Goodman two-stage systems.
• AHVE variable-speed with EEV: internal electronic expansion valve, built for Goodman inverter heat pumps and ACs.
• AWST wall-mount: slim cabinet that mounts in a wall or closet. Common in apartments, condos and small homes. Electric heat is built in.
• ACST ceiling-mount: ducted unit that hangs horizontally above a ceiling, for homes with no closet space. Electric heat is built in.

Frequently asked questions

Where does a ceiling-mount air handler go?

Above a drop ceiling, in a soffit or in a hallway ceiling, with short duct runs to each room. It's a good fit for condos and homes without an air handler closet.

Can I use an R-32 air handler with my R-410A outdoor unit?

No. R-32 air handlers are built for R-32 systems. If your outdoor unit is R-410A, replace both together or choose a matched R-32 system.

Do I need a heat kit?

AMST, AMVT and AHVE models take an optional electric heat kit for backup heat. AWST and ACST models have the heat built in, so choose the kW you need.
