Meet the Goodman CHPTA2426C3 1.5–2 Ton Cased Horizontal Evaporator A Coil. Engineered for flexible, high- efficiency cooling, this coil keeps a slim profile while expanding installation options with a taller 21" cabinet. If you need more space for wiring, plenum routing, or larger ducts, this model delivers the same trusted 1.5–2 ton capacity in a footprint designed for demanding attic and crawlspace setups.
Why this coil stands out
- All-aluminum construction delivers superior corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability, even in challenging basement or attic environments.
- Factory-installed TXV provides precise refrigerant flow, improving cooling performance and overall system efficiency across the 1.5–2 ton range.
- R-32 refrigerant optimization lowers global warming potential while maintaining strong cooling capability, helping you meet eco-conscious goals without sacrificing comfort.
- Horizontal orientation designed for attic and crawlspace installations, offering greater placement flexibility in spaces with limited vertical clearance.
- 21" cabinet depth accommodates easier attic access and wiring/ductwork routing in tight spaces, reducing installation headaches.
- Foil-faced insulation minimizes cabinet condensation, protecting surrounding surfaces and reducing humidity-related concerns.
- Rust-resistant drain pan with secondary drain connections enhances reliability and provides an additional safeguard against condensate issues.
- AHRI Certified and ETL Listed for verified performance and safety adherence, giving you confidence in long-term operation.
- 10-year limited parts warranty when registered within 60 days of installation, offering additional peace of mind.

What this means for your cooling system
This evaporator coil is built to deliver dependable comfort across a range of installations. The vertical space savings of a horizontal coil, combined with the 21" depth, open up attic and crawlspace possibilities that are often off-limits with deeper units. The TXV ensures consistent performance across varying indoor temperatures and load conditions, while the R-32 refrigerant keeps your system aligned with modern environmental standards.
Ideal use cases
- Attic installations where cabinet depth and duct routing are constrained, but you still need robust 1.5–2 ton cooling capacity.
- Crawlspace mechanical rooms requiring a horizontal, compact, yet capable evaporator coil.
- Retrofits or replacements in Goodman systems where an all-aluminum, corrosion-resistant coil with TXV metering provides improved efficiency.
- New installations aiming for eco-friendly refrigerants with solid performance and a durable, long-lasting build.
installation and compatibility notes
Pair this evaporator coil with a Goodman R-32 condenser or heat pump and a compatible furnace or blower. Because the CHPTA2426C3 is a cased horizontal coil with a taller cabinet, verify that available space accommodates the 26"W x 21"D x 21"H dimensions and that ductwork, plenum, and clearance clearances are designed for horizontal orientation. Registration within 60 days of installation is required to activate the 10-year parts warranty.
Choose the Goodman CHPTA2426C3 for a reliable, space-flexible evaporator coil that prioritizes efficiency, durability, and installation versatility without compromising cooling performance. It’s the thoughtful upgrade for attic-friendly layouts, quiet operation, and long-term system reliability.
