2.5 Ton Goodman 14.8 SEER2 R-32 80K BTU Two-Stage Gas Package Unit GPGM53008031
The Goodman GPGM53008031 is the quietest unit in the GPGM5 line, rated at 73 dB. It pairs 2.5 tons of two-stage cooling with a stronger two-stage furnace. Its scroll compressor delivers 29,200 BTUh of total cooling at 14.8 SEER2. Its 4-burner furnace fires at 60,000 or 80,000 BTU input, producing up to 64,800 BTU of heat at 81% AFUE. With a variable-speed ECM blower, R-32 refrigerant, and Goodman's 99-year heat exchanger limited warranty with registration, it suits mid-size homes that want quieter, staged comfort year-round.

Is a 2.5 Ton Two-Stage Gas Package Unit the Right Size?
A 2.5 ton unit fits cooling loads of about 27,000 to 30,000 BTUh, which is common for mid-size homes and double-wide manufactured homes. Compared with the 2 ton GPGM5, it adds 5,600 BTUh of total cooling, 140 CFM of airflow, and a significantly larger furnace, up from 60K to 80K BTU input. That makes it a better fit where winters call for more heat.
Because both stages are available in heating and cooling, the system can run at partial output for most of the year and save full capacity for peak days. Insulation, window area, duct location, and your winter design temperature all help decide whether 2.5 tons and 80K BTU of heat are the right match.
Ideal for: Mid-size homes and double-wide manufactured homes in mixed climates, plus small offices that value quiet operation and two-stage comfort.
Need more capacity? Step up to the 3 Ton Goodman Two-Stage Gas Package Unit GPGM53608031 for more cooling with the same 80K furnace.
Recommended applications are general guidelines only. Actual system requirements depend on insulation, ductwork, climate, window area, occupancy, and a proper load calculation. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.
