Goodman 2.5 Ton 21" Cased Upflow/Downflow Evaporator Coil EEV R-32 - CAPEA3022C3

The Goodman CAPEA3022C3 brings the same 2.5-ton capacity as the B3 model into a 21" cabinet, built for furnace and air handler platforms with a wider footprint. It's a practical option when a job calls for mid-size cooling capacity paired with a larger indoor unit frame.
