2 Ton Goodman 13.4 SEER2 R-32 Package Air Conditioner GPCH32431
The Goodman GPCH32431 is a 2 ton, all-in-one package air conditioner. It is built around R-32 refrigerant, a multi-speed ECM blower, and a heavy-gauge galvanized steel cabinet that meets 2023 Florida Building Code unit integrity requirements for hurricane-type winds when properly anchored. It delivers 22,800 BTUh of total cooling at 13.4 SEER2, with a copper tube/aluminum fin condenser coil and an all-aluminum evaporator coil. Electric heat kits from 5 to 10 kW can be added in the field. It is a dependable choice for small homes, manufactured homes, and small offices, especially in coastal and storm-prone areas.

Is a 2 Ton Package Air Conditioner the Right Size?
A 2 ton package AC fits cooling loads of about 22,000 to 24,000 BTUh. That is typical for compact single-story homes, single-wide manufactured homes, and small commercial suites. The GPCH32431 moves 860 CFM nominal airflow, and 18,700 of its 22,800 BTUh is sensible capacity, the part that lowers air temperature. The rest goes to removing moisture. Use our AC tonnage and BTU calculator to get started.
Shading, insulation, window area, and duct condition all affect the right size, and an oversized unit cools quickly but leaves humidity behind. Because the GPCH3 cools only, plan winter heat separately. Goodman heat kits of 5, 8, or 10 kW are approved for this size and cover the occasional cold days in warm climates.
Ideal for: Small homes and single-wide manufactured homes in warm, coastal, or hurricane-prone regions, plus small offices and additions that need straightforward cooling.
Need more capacity? Step up to the 2.5 Ton Goodman R-32 Package Unit GPCH33031 for an extra half ton of cooling in the same cabinet size.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Goodman GPCH32431 a heat pump?
No. The GPCH3 is a straight cool package air conditioner. For heat, add a field-installed Goodman electric heat kit. Size 24 is approved for 5, 8, and 10 kW kits.
Can the GPCH32431 be installed for downflow?
The unit has horizontal duct connections. For downflow rooftop applications, Goodman lists a PCCP101-103 roof curb with PCP101-103 downflow plenum kits and a SQRPC101 downflow square to round adapter.
Does the GPCH32431 meet hurricane code requirements?
When properly anchored, the GPCH3 cabinet meets the 2023 Florida Building Code unit integrity requirements for hurricane-type winds. Anchor bracket kits are available.
What circuit does the GPCH32431 need with a 10 kW heat kit?
With the HKTPD101 10 kW kit on a single-point connection, Goodman lists 70.25 MCA and an 80 amp maximum overcurrent device. Without a heat kit, the unit needs 17.6 MCA and a 25 amp maximum breaker.
Which square to round adapter fits the 2 ton GPCH3?
For horizontal installs on the small chassis, use the SQRPCH101 square to round adapter. For downflow installs on a PCCP roof curb, Goodman lists the SQRPC101.
How much R-32 refrigerant does the GPCH32431 hold?
The unit is factory charged with 38 oz. of R-32. Learn more about newer refrigerants in our refrigerant transition guide.
