The Goodman 3.5 Ton 13.8 SEER2 AC And 80 Percent AFUE Gas Furnace System Upflow R32 is a complete, all-in-one heating and cooling solution designed for mid-sized homes. Built with an upflow furnace and a high-efficiency central air conditioner, this system delivers balanced comfort year-round while using refrigerant with a lower environmental impact.
Key benefits that matter in everyday comfort
- Balanced year-round comfort: A 3.5-ton cooling capacity pairs with an 80% AFUE gas furnace to provide reliable heating on cold days and steady cooling through hot seasons.
- Efficient performance: 13.8 SEER2 cooling efficiency translates to cooler spaces with less energy consumption, helping reduce monthly utility bills.
- Eco-friendly refrigerant: Uses R32 refrigerant, which has a lower global warming potential than many traditional refrigerants, aiding environmental responsibility without compromising cooling power.
- Upflow configuration: Designed for installations where heated air is distributed upward through ductwork, making it a practical choice for basements, garages, or utility spaces with conventional duct systems.
- Integrated system approach: Combines central air conditioning and gas heating in one reliable package, simplifying setup, service, and maintenance compared with separate components.
