2 Ton Goodman 15.2 SEER2 R32 A/C System GLXS5BA2410, AMST24BU1300
For homeowners who want 2 tons of central air and a quiet backyard, this GLXS5B system pairs the 24,000 BTU/h GLXS5BA2410 condenser with the AMST24BU1300 multi-position air handler (AHRI #215380154, 15.2 SEER2). At 69 dBA, the GLXS5BA2410 has the lowest sound rating in the entire GLXS5B lineup. It's a natural fit for patio-side installs, zero-lot-line homes and townhouses with close neighbors. It has a scroll compressor, R-32 refrigerant and an internal TXV air handler, and it's cooling only with optional field-installed electric heat.
Is a 2 Ton Air Conditioning System the Right Size?
A 24,000 BTU/h system suits moderate cooling loads. That's often starter homes, 2-bedroom houses and larger condos around 900–1,200 sq. ft. as a general reference. Your home's actual heat gain, not its listing square footage, should decide between 1.5, 2 and 2.5 tons.
East- and west-facing glass, attic insulation, duct location, and whether the home has a sunroom or finished garage all affect that number. Stepping up to a high-efficiency GLXS5 system makes the most sense once the size is locked in. Then every cooling hour runs at the higher rated efficiency.
Ideal for: Starter homes, townhouses, zero-lot-line homes, larger condos and rentals where quiet outdoor operation and efficiency both matter.

Recommended home sizes are general guidelines only. Actual system requirements depend on insulation, climate, windows, ductwork, occupancy and a proper load calculation. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

The GLXS5BA2410 condenser moves up to a 29" x 29" x 32" cabinet at 149 lbs, with a 1/6 HP PSC fan and a 65 oz. factory R-32 charge. That's larger than the 26" cabinet used on the 2 ton GLXS4 system, so check your pad size when replacing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the GLXS5BA2410 a good choice near bedrooms or patios?
Yes. At 69 dBA, the GLXS5BA2410 has the lowest rated sound level of any GLXS5B condenser from 1.5 to 5 tons, which makes it well suited to installs close to living areas.
How much efficiency do I gain over the 2 ton GLXS4 system?
This GLXS5BA2410 and AMST24BU1300 match is rated 15.2 SEER2, compared with 14.5 SEER2 in the title of the GLXS4BA2410 system with the same air handler. It also swaps the rotary compressor for a scroll compressor.
Why is the GLXS5BA2410 cabinet larger than the 1.5 ton model?
The 2 ton GLXS5 moves to a 29" x 29" x 32" cabinet at 149 lbs, while the 1.5 ton is 26" x 26" x 27". Plan your pad and clearances for the larger footprint.
Does the 2 ton GLXS5 need a hard-start kit?
Goodman lists the CSR-U-1 hard-start kit as an optional accessory. Its start-assist requirement with non-bleed TXVs applies to reciprocating and rotary compressors, and the GLXS5BA2410 uses a scroll compressor.
Will the AMST24BU1300 work if I switch to a heat pump later?
Its internal TXV is designed for both cooling and heat pump use. Any future outdoor unit should be an AHRI-matched pairing, such as the 2 ton Goodman GLZS5 R32 heat pump system.
What does the ASC01A anti-short cycle kit do?
It adds a delay that keeps the compressor from restarting immediately after shutting off, such as after a brief power interruption. Goodman lists it as an optional accessory for the GLXS5BA2410.
GLXS5 Technical Specifications
GLXS Installation Manual
AMST Installation Manual"SEER2" stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2. Specifically, SEER2 is the total heat removed from the conditioned space during the annual cooling season. The M1 testing procedure will increase systems' external static pressure by a factor of five to better reflect field conditions of install equipment. With this change, new nomenclature will be used to denote M1 ratings (including EER2 and HSPF2).
