GLXS4BA1810 Dimensions & Capacity
The GLXS4BA1810 measures approximately 26 inches wide, 26 inches deep, and 27 inches high. Its listed shipping weight is approximately 132 pounds. The relatively compact cabinet helps keep the outdoor footprint smaller than many higher-capacity condensers.
As a 1.5 Ton R32 AC Condenser, this model delivers approximately 18,000 BTU of nominal cooling capacity. This capacity is commonly associated with smaller residential cooling loads, but property size alone should not determine whether a 1.5 ton system is appropriate.
Insulation quality, ceiling height, window exposure, climate, sun load, occupancy, air leakage, building orientation, and duct characteristics can all affect cooling demand. The condenser capacity should therefore match the actual cooling requirements of the property.
