Why the switch from R-410A to R-32?

New EPA A2L refrigerant mandates take effect in 2025. Dealers are offering free upgrades from legacy R-410A condensers to R-32 models such as the GLXS4BA series while supplies last.

Understanding SEER2

SEER2 replaced legacy SEER on 1 January 2023; test conditions are 5 % stricter, so a 14.3 SEER2 Goodman now performs like yesterday’s 15 SEER unit.

Typical Installed Cost in 2025

  • Equipment only (condenser + coil/air handler): US $1,700 – $2,300

  • Full professional install: US $3,350 – $5,200 for a straight change-out; $3,500 – $7,500 if ductwork or electrical upgrades are needed.

  • Permit & refrigerant fees: add $300 – $600 in most states.

Pro Tip: Always request the AHRI-matched coil for your chosen condenser; mismatches can void warranty and slash efficiency.

Warranty Snapshot

Register your Goodman 2-ton AC unit within 60 days and you’ll receive:

  • 10-year parts limited warranty on all components.

  • Lifetime compressor limited warranty on select high-efficiency models (GSXH, GSXC).

Optional Asure® extended plans stretch coverage to 15 years (or up to 99 years on the compressor only).

Installation & Maintenance Checklist

  1. Size it right: A Manual J load calc prevents over-tonnage short-cycling.

  2. Upgrade the lineset: New R-32 units require A2L-rated tubing and fittings.

  3. Change the filter monthly during peak cooling.

  4. Check the charge each spring; SEER2 units lose ~10 % efficiency with a 10 % under-charge.

  5. Register online within 60 days for full warranty leverage.

FAQ

  1. How much does a Goodman 2-ton AC unit cost installed?
    Expect US$ $3,350–$5,200 for a simple swap, including labor, permits, and basic electrical work.

  2. What’s the difference between the GSXN and GSXH models?
    GSXN is the budget 14.3 SEER2 line, while GSXH steps up to 15.2 SEER2, quieter fan motors, and often a lifetime-compressor warranty.

  3. Is R-32 safe to use indoors?
    Yes—when installed per code. R-32 is mildly flammable (A2L), so technicians must follow new UL 60335-2-40 clearances, but its lower Global Warming Potential (GWP = 675) makes it EPA-preferred for 2025.

  4. Can I registerfor  warranty if I install it myself?
    Goodman allows homeowner registration, but many states require a licensed HVAC contractor for refrigerant work, and DIY installs risk voiding warranty if not code-compliant.

  5. How long will a Goodman 2 ton unit last?
    With annual maintenance, expect 15–20 years—on par with higher-priced brands—thanks to scroll compressors and corrosion-resistant coil guards.
