Goodman central heat pump: R-410A in store, R-32 heat down to -17.8 °C

To replace a central system, our store carries four Goodman R-410A series. The R-32 GLZS4B and GLZS4M are coming soon: their August 2026 GOODMAN sheets give, size by size, the matched AMST air handler and the heat left at -17.8 °C.

The question this page answersReplacing a central system: which Goodman pair, and how much heat is left at -17.8 °C?

Published heat, GOODMAN heating table, at nominal airflow

Last published point: -17.8 °C. Below it, GOODMAN gives no figure for the GLZS4; an HKTS heater kit in the AMST air handler provides backup heat, sized on site.

Heat as GOODMAN publishes it at nominal airflow, with 21.1 °C (70 °F) indoors. All three bars come from the same heating table and read against the heat at 8.3 °C. Sound: printed as "Decibels", no weighting or test condition given.

What the GSZ14 brochure describes

Factory-installed: a bi-flow filter drier on the liquid line, a suction line accumulator and a heater band. The outdoor fan runs at a single speed, with a three-blade fan (source 3, p. 3).

The brochure, dated 2020, says nothing about the compressor, sound levels or electrical data.

Three series without a spec sheet

For the GSZ16, GSZC18 and GVZC20, we found no GOODMAN document: not on its website, in its literature library, its line card or its catalogue, all checked on November 5, 2026 (source 4).

So we quote no figure for these three series. Their data comes with the quote, model by model.

The factory charge covers 15 ft of refrigerant lines; GOODMAN asks for it to be adjusted following the final charge procedure in its installation instructions. On the 3.5, 4 and 5-ton GLZS4B, the suction line goes up to 1⅛ in while the valve stays at ⅞ in: GOODMAN asks the installer to supply the adapters (source 1, p. 1 and 3).

Compare//Same capacity

GLZS4B or GLZS4M, at 3 tons

At 3 tons, GOODMAN publishes both series with the same air handler, the AMST36CU. The figures track each other closely; the gap shows in the cold and on the scale.

Did you know//GOODMAN R-32 sheets

Amps, compressor, expansion valve: three lines from the R-32 sheets

01

More tons, fewer amps

The 3.5-ton GLZS4B asks less of the electrical panel than the 3-ton: a minimum circuit ampacity of 19.3 A and a 30 A maximum fuse, versus 21.5 A and 35 A. It is the only size in either series that needs less than the size below it.

Source 1, p. 3; source 2, p. 3
02

Rotary up to 2.5 tons

The GLZS4B uses a rotary compressor from 1.5 to 2.5 tons, then a scroll from 3 to 5 tons. The GLZS4M is scroll in all four sizes.

Source 1, p. 3; source 2, p. 3
03

The expansion valve follows the outdoor unit

For the GLZS4B, GOODMAN requires a specific TXV kit on the indoor coil, and states in capitals that the TXV is determined by the outdoor unit, not by the indoor coil. The AMST air handler already has a built-in TXV; the GLZS4B sheet does not say whether it must be swapped.

Questions//Central systems

Questions about Goodman central systems

Can I buy a GLZS4B or a GLZS4M?

Not for now. Their product pages are online with the status "Coming soon", outside this collection's grid, which shows the R-410A models only. GOODMAN already publishes their spec sheets, dated August 2026.

Does a Goodman central system, R-410A or R-32, qualify for LogisVert?

No, neither on R-410A nor on R-32. For a heat pump installed on or after November 26, 2025, Hydro-Québec requires ENERGY STAR certification. Read on November 5, 2026, the ENERGY STAR list holds no GSZ14, GSZ16, GSZC18, GVZC20, GLZS4B or GLZS4M.

Can I keep my current air handler with a GLZS4?

In its spec sheets, GOODMAN publishes each GLZS4B and GLZS4M with one specific AMST air handler only; its other AHRI-rated combinations are gathered in its "System Configurator", which we did not consult. What can stay in place is checked on site.

GLZS4B or GLZS4M: which one?

GOODMAN calls them "Standard" and "Multi-Family". The GLZS4M stops at 3 tons. At every shared size the M sheet prints a lower sound figure: 69 versus 74 dB at 1.5 and 2 tons, 71 versus 77 at 2.5, 74 versus 75 at 3; neither sheet gives the test condition. At 2 tons, GOODMAN publishes the same heat for both at -17.8 °C: 7,900 BTU/h.

What circuit and breaker does a GLZS4 need?

208/230 V single-phase, between 197 and 253 V. Depending on size, the minimum circuit ampacity runs from 11.2 to 31.1 A and the maximum fuse from 15 to 50 A. GOODMAN requires time-delay fuses or HACR-type breakers of the size given in its GLZS4B and GLZS4M sheets.
