3 Ton Goodman 15.2 SEER2 R32 Central Wall Mount System GLXS4BA3610, AWST36LU13 Apartment/Condo Type
This is the largest system in Goodman's AWST wall mount series. It pairs the 36,000 BTU/h GLXS4BA3610 condenser with the AWST36LU13 large-chassis air handler at 15.2 SEER2 (AHRI #214859636). It's the only system in this group with a scroll compressor, and at 67 dBA the GLXS4BA3610 has the lowest sound rating in the GLXS4B series. That matters for condos where the outdoor unit sits on a balcony or close to a neighbor's window. It suits larger condos, penthouse units and townhomes that need 3 tons of in-wall cooling, with factory heat options up to 10 kW.
Is a 3 Ton Air Conditioning System the Right Size?
Three tons (36,000 BTU/h) typically serves larger condos, multi-level townhomes and penthouse units, often around 1,500–1,800 sq. ft. as a rough guide. Since 3 tons is the top of the AWST wall mount line, it's worth confirming the load carefully. Oversizing here can mean short cycles and humidity problems in a compact living space.
Top-floor and corner units, floor-to-ceiling glass, open layouts and high occupancy all increase cooling needs. Shared walls and shaded exposures reduce them. The AWST36LU13 also needs a front-return wall closet sized for the 24" large chassis.
Ideal for: Larger condos, penthouse units, multi-level townhomes and multifamily units that need the maximum capacity available in a wall-mount air handler.
Need more capacity? The AWST line tops out at 3 tons. For bigger loads, consider a ducted system such as the 3.5 Ton Goodman R32 A/C System GLXS4BA4210, AMST42CU1300 with a multi-position air handler.
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 GLXS4BA3610 condenser measures 29" x 29" x 39-1/2" and weighs 158 lbs, with a 69 oz. factory R-32 charge and 7/8" suction and 3/8" liquid connections. The AWST36LU13 delivers roughly 1,114–1,360 CFM at 0.1" static across its five speed taps, the highest airflow in the AWST line. It shares the ratings of the ducted 3 ton GLXS4 15.2 SEER2 system but installs in a wall closet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 3 tons the largest AWST wall mount size?
Yes. Goodman's AWST wall mount air handler series covers 1-1/2 to 3 tons, so the AWST36LU13 is the top capacity.
What airflow does the AWST36LU13 deliver?
Goodman's R-32 manual lists 1,114 CFM on T1/T2, 1,225 CFM on T3, 1,287 CFM on T4 and 1,360 CFM on T5 at 0.1" static. T1 is reserved for fan-only and mitigation mode.
Does the scroll compressor make this system quieter outside?
Goodman rates the scroll-compressor GLXS4BA3610 at 67 dBA, the lowest sound rating in the GLXS4B series and quieter than the 1.5, 2 and 2.5 ton rotary-compressor condensers used in the other wall mount systems.
How does this compare to the ducted 3 ton GLXS4 15.2 SEER2 system?
Both use the GLXS4BA3610 condenser and are rated 15.2 SEER2. This package uses the AWST36LU13 for in-wall closet installs, while the ducted version uses the multi-position AMST42CU1300 for attics, closets and crawlspaces.
Can the AWST36LU13 be installed in a garage or crawlspace?
Goodman designs the AWST for installation in conditioned space. Its manual also advises elevating the unit where the area may become wet and adding a protective barrier where physical damage is possible, such as in a garage.
What slope does the AWST36LU13 condensate line need?
Goodman calls for a positive slope of 1/4" per foot on the condensate line. The unit itself must be level or tilted slightly back for proper drainage.

AWST Warranty Certificate"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).
