When the Goodman GLXS3BN3610 is installed with appropriately partnered indoor equipment, it is capable of achieving up to 13.4 SEER2 efficiency. At this level of efficiency, the system is able to maintain a reasonable level of cooling at a reasonable level of energy consumption. Similar to the performance of the indoor unit, the efficiency of the entire system is reliant on the quality of the installation, the airflow, the thermostat, and the operating conditions.
R32 Refrigerant Benefits
R-32 is a refrigerant that is compatible with modern refrigerants and HVAC performance and offers excellent transfer of both heat and refrigerants. It is tailored for air conditioning systems designed to deliver cooling in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner. Installation of these systems requires a professional HVAC installer and compatible systems.
Construction and Design
The outdoor cabinet of the Goodman GLXS3BN3610 is designed to protect the interior components from the elements and carries a construction design for the outdoor operation and airflow through the condenser coil.
