5 Ton Goodman 14.5 SEER2 R32 Heat Pump System GLZS4BA6010, AMST60DU1300
The largest system in the GLZS4B family, this 5 ton Goodman package pairs the GLZS4BA6010 outdoor heat pump with the AMST60DU1300 air handler, a 24.5" D-cabinet unit with a 1 HP ECM blower. It delivers 60,000 BTU/h of R-32 heating and cooling, rated 14.5 SEER2 under AHRI #215213862, for large homes and high-demand spaces that need maximum single-phase residential capacity from one system.
Is a 5 Ton Heat Pump System the Right Size?
Five tons is the top of the residential single-phase range. At 60,000 BTU/h, this system is meant for large homes, houses with extensive glass or high ceilings, and hot climates where smaller systems cannot keep up during peak conditions.
Because it is the biggest size, it is also the easiest to oversize. An oversized heat pump short-cycles, removes less humidity, and wears faster. Ductwork for 5 tons must be generous on both supply and return. If your load calculation comes in well above 60,000 BTU/h, two smaller zoned systems may perform better than one large unit.
Ideal for: Large single-family homes, homes with high ceilings or lots of glass, hot-climate properties with heavy cooling demand, and replacement of an existing 5 ton heat pump.
Need less capacity? Compare the 4 Ton Goodman 15.2 SEER2 R32 Heat Pump System GLZS4BA4810, AMST48CU1300 if your load calculation comes in below 5 tons.
Recommended system sizes are general guidelines only. Actual heating and cooling requirements depend on insulation, climate, windows, ductwork, ceiling height, and occupancy. A Manual J load calculation is the best way to confirm sizing. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size home needs a 5 ton GLZS4BA6010 heat pump system?
Homes with a load near 60,000 BTU/h, typically large single-family homes, homes with high ceilings or a lot of glass, or hot-climate homes with heavy cooling demand. A load calculation is essential at this size to avoid oversizing.
Is the GLZS4BA6010 the largest model in the GLZS4B series?
Yes. Goodman's GLZS4B series runs from 1.5 to 5 tons, and the GLZS4BA6010 is the 5 ton model.
How much does the GLZS4BA6010 outdoor unit weigh?
Goodman lists an equipment weight of 300 lbs and a shipping weight of 320 lbs. Plan for a properly rated pad and enough help to set the unit safely.
Why does the AMST60DU1300 use a D cabinet?
The 24.5" D cabinet houses a larger 11" x 10" blower and 1 HP ECM motor, which are needed to deliver 5 ton airflow.
Can the AMST60DU1300 accept a 25 kW heat strip?
Yes. This listing offers a 25 kW breakered heat strip (HKTSD25DA), along with 5, 8, 10, 15, and 19 kW options. Goodman lists 3 kW to 25 kW heater kits for the AMST series.
What if my home needs more than 5 tons?
The GLZS4BA6010 is the largest size in the GLZS4B series. Homes with a bigger load are often better served by two zoned systems. Request a quote and our team can help design the right setup.
