GOODMAN//Central systems
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?
R-410A central units in our store
From 1.5 to 5 tons: the GSZ14 and GSZ16 in seven sizes, the GSZC18 and GVZC20 in four. The SEER figures in the titles (14, 16, 18 and 20) are our store's; what GOODMAN documents for each series is in the table further down. The R-32 GLZS4 pair is covered in the tool below.
Tool//The R-32 pair
The R-32 pair: outdoor unit, AMST air handler and cold-weather heat
Pick the series and the size. The tool gives the AMST air handler GOODMAN publishes with each outdoor unit, the heat at 8.3, -8.3 and -17.8 °C, and what the circuit needs.

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.
See the GLZS4BA3610 productHeat 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.
GOODMAN//The R-410A grid
Four R-410A series: what GOODMAN documents
| Series | Sizes in our store | GOODMAN document found | What the document claims |
|---|---|---|---|
| GSZ14 | 1.5 to 5 tons, seven sizes | Brochure CB-GSZ14 08-20 (source 3) | Up to 15 SEER and up to 9.0 HSPF, on R-410A |
| GSZ16 | 1.5 to 5 tons, seven sizes | — | — |
| GSZC18 | 2, 3, 4 and 5 tons | — | — |
| GVZC20 | 2, 3, 4 and 5 tons | — | — |
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 eleven R-32 outdoor units, line by line
What the GLZS4B and GLZS4M sheets add to the tool: refrigerant charge, refrigerant lines, footprint and weight.
GOODMAN data, sources 1 and 2
| Outdoor unit | R-32 charge | Refrigerant lines, liquid / suction | Suction valve | W × D × H | Shipping weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GLZS4BA1810 | 70 oz | ⅜ / ¾ in | ¾ in | 29 × 29 × 32½ in | 165 lb |

| GLZS4MA3610 | 83 oz | ⅜ / ⅞ in | ⅞ in | 35½ × 35½ × 35 11/16 in | 228 lb |
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.
| At 3 tons | GLZS4B | GLZS4M |
|---|---|---|
| Compressor | scroll, single-stage | scroll, single-stage |
| Heat at 8.3 °C (47 °F) | 34,400 BTU/h | 35,000 BTU/h |
| Heat at -8.3 °C (17 °F) | 21,600 BTU/h | 21,600 BTU/h |
| Heat at -17.8 °C (0 °F) | 14,350 BTU/h | 14,010 BTU/h |
| COP at -17.8 °C | 1.86 | 1.71 |
| Sound (dB, as printed) | 75 | 74 |
| Equipment weight | 196 lb | 208 lb |
| W × D × H | 35½ × 35½ × 35¾ in | 35½ × 35½ × 35 11/16 in |
| R-32 charge | 83 oz | 83 oz |
| Min. circuit ampacity / max. fuse | 21.5 / 35 A | 21.5 / 35 A |
Sources 1 and 2, p. 3, 12, 15, 18-19 and 21. The two sheets print a different height for a cabinet of the same width: 35¾ in for the B, 35 11/16 in for the M. We quote each as printed.
Did you know//GOODMAN R-32 sheets
Amps, compressor, expansion valve: three lines from the R-32 sheets
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. 3Rotary 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. 3The 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.

Air handler, thermostat, or a packaged unit instead
A Goodman central system in your home: we start with what you already have
We start from the air handler or furnace already in place and the spot planned for the outdoor unit. The series, the size and the backup heat for the coldest days come next.
Sold and installed by AirGreen.Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the South Shore and the North Shore.
An AirGreen technician assesses the heating and cooling needs, where the units will go and the refrigerant line route on site before proposing a model.
Subclasses 15.8, 15.10 and 16. Gas and oil work is done by a partner holding the required licence.
The equipment is GOODMAN-branded. AirGreen sells it, installs it and services it across Greater Montreal.
