Key Features

What sets the GLXS4BA1810A apart

R-32 Refrigerant

Built for R-32, the next-generation residential refrigerant with lower environmental impact than the outgoing R-410A standard. R-32 requires less charge per system and delivers improved thermodynamic performance, helping meet current EPA and AIM Act requirements.

Single-Stage Scroll Compressor

A proven single-stage scroll compressor provides reliable, consistent cooling with fewer moving parts than reciprocating designs. Scroll technology is known for smooth operation, high efficiency, and long service life.

14.3 SEER2 Efficiency

Rated up to 14.3 SEER2 when paired with an AHRI-certified matched indoor coil. Actual SEER2 varies with the specific indoor pairing under the current M1 efficiency testing standard.

Durable Outdoor Construction

Heavy-gauge galvanized steel cabinet with louvered coil guard protects internal components from impact and debris. Designed for long-term outdoor installation in demanding residential environments.

Service-Friendly Design

Single-panel service access, clearly labeled wiring, and standard 3/8" liquid / 3/4" suction line connections make installation and maintenance straightforward for your HVAC contractor.

Backed by Goodman

Covered by Goodman's 10-Year Parts Limited Warranty and 10-Year Compressor Limited Warranty when registered within 60 days of installation.

This Goodman GLXS4B air conditioner condenser delivers 1.5 ton of cooling capacity (18,000 BTU) at 14.3 SEER2 efficiency, running on R-32 refrigerant. The cabinet is factory-charged with enough refrigerant for 15 feet of line set to simplify installation, and the high-density foam compressor mounting reduces operating sound. AHRI Certified and ETL Listed.

  • Energy-efficient compressor — high-density foam compressor mounting with Advanced Copeland® scroll technology for quiet, reliable operation.
  • Pre-charged with R-32 refrigerant — factory-charged for 15 feet of tubing to reduce installation time.
  • Copper tube / enhanced aluminum fin coil — 5mm-diameter design improves heat transfer and reduces refrigerant volume.
  • Factory-installed filter drier — removes moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant circuit at startup.
  • Sweat-connection service valves — easy-access gauge ports for installation and seasonal service.
  • High-pressure switch — shuts the compressor down on abnormal pressure to protect the system.
  • Enclosed contactor with ground lug — secure electrical connections in a sealed compartment.
  • Capacitors with extended life — rated for long service in high-temperature operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size home does a 1.5-ton condenser cool?
A 1.5-ton condenser is generally appropriate for homes in the 750–1,100 sq. ft. range, though the right size depends on factors like climate zone, insulation, window area, ceiling height, and home orientation. A professional Manual J load calculation is the most accurate way to determine the right capacity for your specific home.
What does SEER2 mean and why does it matter?
SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2) measures cooling efficiency under the updated M1 testing standard adopted in 2023. A higher SEER2 number means lower electricity costs to deliver the same cooling. The GLXS4BA1810A is rated at up to 14.3 SEER2, meeting current federal minimum efficiency requirements for residential air conditioners.
What is R-32 refrigerant and why the change from R-410A?
R-32 is the next-generation residential refrigerant replacing R-410A. It has lower environmental impact, requires up to 30% less charge per system, and offers improved energy efficiency. R-32 is being adopted industry-wide to meet EPA and AIM Act requirements phasing down legacy refrigerants.
Can I pair this condenser with my existing indoor coil or air handler?
The GLXS4BA1810A is an R-32 condenser and must be paired with an R-32-compatible indoor coil or air handler. It is not compatible with older R-410A or R-22 coils. For best performance and to maintain AHRI-rated efficiency, pair it with a factory-matched Goodman indoor unit. Your HVAC contractor can confirm compatibility.
Do I need AHRI-certified matching?
The 14.3 SEER2 rating applies to the condenser when paired with specific matched indoor components. Installing the GLXS4BA1810A with a non-matched or mismatched coil can reduce actual efficiency below the rated value, affect warranty coverage, and in some cases may not meet local building code minimums. Always install as part of an AHRI-certified matched system.
How loud is 74 dB in practical terms?
74 dB is typical for a 1.5-ton residential condenser. For reference, normal conversation is around 60 dB, a dishwasher runs around 70 dB, and a gas lawn mower measures around 85 dB from 50 ft. Place the unit away from bedroom windows and patios when possible, and follow Goodman's installation clearance requirements for proper airflow and serviceability.
What maintenance does the condenser need?
Keep the condenser coil clear of leaves, grass clippings, and debris. Maintain at least 24 inches of clearance on all sides for airflow. Have a licensed HVAC technician perform an annual tune-up including coil cleaning, refrigerant charge verification, and electrical inspection. Regular maintenance protects efficiency, extends equipment life, and maintains warranty coverage.
How do I register for the 10-year warranty?
Register the unit online at Goodman's warranty registration page within 60 days of installation. You'll need the model number (GLXS4BA1810A), serial number (found on the data plate), installation date, and installing contractor information. Without registration, the warranty reverts to a shorter base term.
