Goodman 2.5 Ton 17.5" Cased Upflow/Downflow Evaporator Coil EEV R-32 - CAPEA3022B3

The Goodman CAPEA3022B3 steps up to 2.5 tons of cooling capacity while keeping the cabinet narrow at 17.5" — a solid match for moderately sized homes where mechanical space is still at a premium. It's built with the same EEV precision and all-aluminum durability found throughout the CAPEA line, so you get more capacity without more compromise.

Key features that matter in the field

Its EEV and all-aluminum build mean you're not sacrificing longevity or precision to get there.
