Not your standard air conditioner — the Goodman GXV6SA1810 is a new kind of cooling technology entirely. This 1.5-ton, variable-speed inverter-driven AC condenser delivers up to 17.2 SEER2 efficiency in a unique side-discharge design with a custom Ivory White cabinet — while most competitors are still selling conventional top-discharge condensers, this unit operates more like a premium mini-split in a full split system package. Its variable-speed swing inverter compressor continuously adjusts output to maintain stable temperatures while minimizing energy use and sound levels — as low as 45 dBA in Quiet Mode — and features an Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) for precise refrigerant management across all operating conditions. If you want the most technologically advanced, most efficient AC condenser Goodman makes for smaller homes, this is it.
Why Homeowners and Contractors Choose the GXV6SA1810:
- Up to 17.2 SEER2 efficiency — Goodman's highest efficiency rating for an AC condenser, delivering maximum savings on every electricity bill all summer long
- 1.5 Ton / 17,100 BTU cooling capacity — precisely sized for small homes, condos, and apartments between 750–1,000 sq ft
- Variable-speed inverter swing compressor — continuously and precisely modulates output to match your home's exact cooling demand — more efficient, more comfortable, and quieter than any single-stage or two-stage compressor
- Selectable Quiet Mode — up to 3 different sound levels, as low as 45 dBA — among the quietest AC condensers available at this tonnage
- Field-selectable Boost Mode — increases compressor speed during unusually high demand periods for maximum cooling output when needed
- Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) — precise refrigerant metering for optimized efficiency across all operating conditions — no guesswork during charging or servicing
- Auto-control superheat management — intelligent refrigerant charge management simplifies commissioning and servicing
- Side discharge design — air exits from the side, not the top — ideal for installations where traditional top-discharge condensers won't fit due to clearance or space constraints
- Custom Ivory White cabinet — distinguishes this premium series from the standard Architectural Gray lineup
- ComfortNet compatible — works with Goodman communicating thermostats and equipment for full smart system integration
- Communicating mode — only two low-voltage wires to the outdoor unit required in communicating mode, simplifying installation
- Compatible with Goodman GTST Connected Thermostat — smart home integration, remote access, and intelligent scheduling
- Proprietary diagnostic 7-segment LED display with fault code storage — fast, accurate troubleshooting for faster, cheaper service calls
- Proprietary Inside Intelligence diagnostics — advanced built-in monitoring for proactive system health management
- Digitally commutated condenser fan motor — quieter, more efficient, and longer-lasting than standard PSC fan motors
- High-density compressor sound blanket — additional noise reduction for whisper-quiet outdoor operation
- Coil and ambient temperature sensors — real-time system adjustments based on actual outdoor conditions
- Suction pressure transducer — built-in pressure monitoring for advanced system protection and diagnostics
- Front-sealing service valves with easy-access gauge ports — front-accessible valves make installation and servicing faster and easier than side-access designs
- Field-installed bi-flow filter drier required — must be installed by the contractor in the field
- Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) — factory-installed for precise refrigerant control
- R-32 refrigerant — eco-friendly next-generation refrigerant with a global warming potential one-third lower than R-410A
- Factory charged for 15 ft of ⅜" liquid line — arrives ready to install right out of the box
- Cooling operation range 0°F to 115°F — operates reliably across a wider ambient temperature range than most standard condensers
- Heavy-gauge galvanized-steel cabinet with custom Ivory White powder-coat finish — 500-hour salt-spray tested for lasting durability
- Hurricane-ready construction — meets 2023 Florida Building Code requirements when properly anchored
- Cooling only — pairs with a compatible R-32 indoor evaporator coil or air handler equipped with refrigerant leakage detection system
- AHRI Certified and ETL Listed — independently verified for safety and performance
- Made in the USA — designed, engineered, and assembled domestically
⚠️ Side discharge design — this unit discharges air from the side, not the top. Installation clearances differ from standard top-discharge condensers. Review the installation manual carefully before purchasing.
⚠️ Communicating system — for full functionality, requires compatible communicating indoor equipment and a Goodman GTST or compatible communicating thermostat. Standard thermostats have limited compatibility — verify with your contractor before purchasing.
⚠️ R-32 refrigerant requires compatible indoor equipment equipped with a factory-installed refrigerant leakage detection system (RDS). Not compatible with R-410A equipment.
⚠️ Field-installed bi-flow filter drier required — unlike standard condensers, the filter drier is NOT factory-installed and must be installed in the field by your contractor.
