GOODMAN R-32 5.0 Ton 16 SEER2 Heat Pump Split System (GLZS5BA6010 + AMST60DU1300)

The Goodman R-32 5.0 Ton 16 SEER2 Heat Pump Split System represents the latest advancement in residential and light commercial HVAC technology, combining powerful heating and cooling performance with energy-saving efficiency. Designed with Goodman's signature reliability and built to comply with the new SEER2 efficiency standards, this system offers homeowners a dependable and environmentally responsible comfort solution.

A Balanced Approach to Comfort and Efficiency

The 5.0-ton capacity makes this split system heat pump ideal for larger homes or spaces requiring consistent, efficient climate control throughout the year. With a 16 SEER2 efficiency rating, it meets or exceeds current U.S. Department of Energy standards while providing reliable operation even in demanding conditions.

At the heart of the GLZS5BA6010 condenser is a high-efficiency compressor that optimizes energy use without sacrificing performance. Reducing energy waste during operation helps lower utility costs and minimizes environmental impact. This compressor is engineered for long-term reliability, ensuring steady comfort during both cooling and heating cycles.

SmartShift® Technology for Quiet and Reliable Defrost

One of the key features of the GLZS5BA6010 is Goodman’s SmartShift® defrost technology. Traditional heat pumps can produce unwanted noise when switching between heating and defrost modes, but SmartShift® ensures a smooth and quiet transition. This system automatically senses when a defrost cycle is needed, maintaining comfort and efficiency without unnecessary interruptions.

For homeowners in colder climates, this feature means consistent heating performance and less wear on the compressor over time — a major advantage during the winter months.

Durable Construction and Long-Lasting Protection

Goodman is known for manufacturing HVAC systems that stand the test of time, and the GLZS5BA6010 continues that tradition. The heavy-gauge galvanized-steel cabinet features an Architectural Gray powder-paint finish that's tested to withstand 500 hours of salt-spray exposure. This provides a strong barrier against corrosion, moisture, and outdoor elements.

The steel louver coil guard protects the condenser coil from debris and physical damage while maintaining adequate airflow. The cabinet also includes top and side maintenance access panels that make servicing the unit faster and more convenient for HVAC technicians.

Together, these design choices ensure that the system maintains its efficiency and visual appeal even after years of operation in challenging environments.

Enhanced Aluminum Coil Technology

The Goodman R-32 5.0 Ton system uses enhanced aluminum fin coils that vary in design depending on capacity. In smaller models (1.5 – 3.5 tons), Goodman uses 5 mm diameter tubing, while the larger 4.0 – 5.0 ton units — like this one — feature 7 mm copper tubing with aluminum fins.

This combination maximizes heat transfer while maintaining durability and corrosion resistance. The use of aluminum and copper together helps balance strength, performance, and cost-effectiveness. It also supports Goodman’s ongoing commitment to environmentally friendly design, as these materials are recyclable and help reduce refrigerant volume requirements.

Factory-Installed Components for Streamlined Installation

Every Goodman GLZS5BA6010 condenser comes fully charged for 15 feet of refrigerant line, simplifying the installation process and ensuring proper performance from day one. Goodman also includes several factory-installed components, reducing the need for field modifications and helping contractors save time on site.

These include:

• Bi-flow liquid-line filter drier – Protects against contaminants that can reduce system life.
• Suction-line accumulator – Prevents liquid refrigerant from reaching the compressor.
• Compressor crankcase heater – Maintains compressor reliability during low-temperature conditions.
• High-capacity muffler – Reduces noise during compressor operation.
• High- and low-pressure switches – Provide built-in protection against abnormal system conditions.
• Fully enclosed contactor with lug connection – Adds another layer of electrical safety and reliability.

These factory features mean fewer potential issues during installation, and they contribute to Goodman's reputation for “plug-and-play” simplicity.

Electrical and Safety Design

The GLZS5BA6010 operates on 208/230-volt, single-phase power and includes service valves with sweat connections for secure and accessible refrigerant management. The ground lug connection ensures safe operation and proper electrical grounding, while extended-life capacitors support the long-term reliability of the condenser's electrical system.

Each unit is AHRI Certified and ETL Listed, confirming that it meets industry-recognized standards for performance, safety, and efficiency.

Air Handler Performance: AMST60DU1300

When paired with the AMST60DU1300 air handler, the system delivers balanced airflow, quiet operation, and excellent indoor comfort. Goodman's AMST series features all-aluminum evaporator coils designed for compatibility with R-32 refrigerant, as well as a multi-speed ECM blower motor that adjusts airflow for optimal temperature regulation and humidity control.

This unit's SmartFrame™ cabinet design enhances durability while minimizing vibration and noise. With its 21-inch depth, it's also ideal for installations in tighter spaces, including attics and closets.

The air handler's foil-faced internal insulation reduces cabinet condensation and noise, while the DecaBDE-free thermoplastic drain pan resists corrosion and microbial growth. Easy access panels and tool-less filter access make maintenance simple for both technicians and homeowners.

R-32 Refrigerant: A Next-Generation Standard

The move to R-32 refrigerant represents one of the most significant updates in modern HVAC technology. Compared to older R-410A refrigerant, R-32 has a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) and provides superior heat transfer performance. It also allows manufacturers to use smaller refrigerant charges, further improving system efficiency.

By adopting R-32, Goodman ensures that the GLZS5BA6010 + AMST60DU1300 combination is compliant with the latest environmental standards while continuing to deliver powerful, dependable heating and cooling.

Built to Withstand Florida Conditions

As with all Goodman systems available through Budget Air Supply & Equipment, the GLZS5BA6010 meets the 2020 Florida Building Code unit integrity requirements for hurricane-type winds when properly anchored. Anchor bracket kits are available for contractors and installers seeking to secure the unit in storm-prone regions.

This makes it a practical choice for homeowners across Florida and other coastal states where resilience and reliability are just as important as energy performance.
