Goodman 2 Ton Straight Cool Split System

Goodman 2 Ton Straight Cool Split System

For apartments, condominiums, and townhomes where space is at a premium, standard HVAC systems often just don't fit. This Straight Cool Split System is specifically engineered for these tight applications. By pairing the compact GLXS4BA2410 outdoor condenser with the specialized AWST24SU13 wall-mount air handler, Goodman provides a powerful cooling solution that requires zero floor space and no return air ductwork.

The "Front Return" Advantage

The standout feature of this system is the AWST24SU13 indoor air handler. Unlike traditional units that sit in a closet or attic and require bulky ductwork to draw in air, this unit is designed to be wall-mounted.

This straight cool air conditioner features a "Front Return" design, meaning it pulls air directly through the front of the unit (typically behind a louvered door in a utility closet). This design eliminates the need for return air ducts, making it the perfect replacement for systems found in many multi-family housing units and compact utility closets. Despite its small size (only 36" high and 20.25" wide), it features a powerful Multi-Speed ECM blower motor (1/3 HP) for efficient, quiet airflow.

Compact and Efficient Cooling

The outdoor section of this system is the GLXS4BA2410 condenser. It delivers 24,000 BTU/h (2.0 Tons) of cooling power with a solid 14.5 SEER2 efficiency rating.

  • Space-Saving Footprint: Measuring just 26" wide and 26" deep, it fits easily on small balconies or tight patios common in condo living.
  • Modern Refrigerant: It is pre-charged with R-32 refrigerant (53 oz), which is more efficient and environmentally friendly than older refrigerants.
  • Reliable Operation: It utilizes a single-stage rotary compressor and a 1/8 HP PSC fan motor for dependable performance.

Electric Heating Options

It is important to note that this is a straight cool split system, meaning the outdoor unit is not a heat pump and does not provide heating. Instead, heating is provided entirely by electric heat strips installed inside the air handler.

The AWST air handler comes with factory-installed electric heat kits in three sizes, allowing you to choose the warmth you need:

  • 5 kW (AWST24SU1305): For milder climates.
  • 8 kW (AWST24SU1308): For moderate heating needs.
  • 10 kW (AWST24SU1310): For maximum heating power.

Why Choose This Goodman Front-Return System?

  • Perfect for Apartments/Condos: The wall-mount, front-return design saves valuable floor space and eliminates the need for return ductwork.
  • Straight Cool Simplicity: A dedicated air conditioner paired with electric heat strips for reliable climate control.
  • High Efficiency: 14.5 SEER2 rating helps keep summer electricity bills low.
  • Modern R-32 Technology: Optimized for the latest environmental standards.
  • Customizable Heating: Choose from 5kW, 8kW, or 10kW electric heat options to suit your specific heating requirements.

Installation Note: This system involves high-voltage electrical work and refrigerant handling. To ensure safety and proper operation, professional installation by a certified HVAC technician is strongly recommended.
