5 Ton Goodman 14 SEER2 R32 A/C System GLXS4BA6010, AMST60DU1300
The flagship capacity of the GLXS4B R-32 series pairs the 60,000 BTU/h GLXS4BA6010 condenser with the D-cabinet AMST60DU1300 air handler (AHRI #214860141, 14 SEER2). This is the maximum-capacity single-phase package in the lineup. It's built for owners of very large homes, and for single-phase light commercial spaces like small offices, studios and retail suites that need serious cooling from one split system. Unlike the smaller GLXS4B units, it's the only one with an ECM condenser fan motor. The air handler adds a 1 HP ECM blower and supports heat kits up to 25 kW.
Is a 5 Ton Air Conditioning System the Right Size?
At 60,000 BTU/h, 5 tons is the upper limit for most single-phase residential split systems. It's typically considered for large homes, often around 2,500–3,000 sq. ft. or more as a rough reference, or for light commercial spaces with high internal loads. Because it's the largest size, oversizing mistakes are costly: bigger ducts, higher electrical service and humidity problems if the load isn't really there.
Confirm the load with a Manual J (residential) or a commercial load calculation. Check that the duct system can carry 5 ton airflow, and verify the electrical panel has room for a 50A condenser circuit plus the air handler and any heat kit. Very large homes are sometimes better served by two smaller zoned systems, and our team can help you compare.
Ideal for: Large single-family homes, high-ceiling custom homes, single-phase small offices, studios and retail suites with high cooling demand.
Want higher efficiency? Compare the 5 Ton Goodman 16.2 SEER2 R32 A/C System GLXS5BA6010, AMST60DU1300, which uses the same air handler with a higher-efficiency GLXS5 condenser.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 5 tons the largest size in the GLXS4 lineup?
Yes. Goodman offers the GLXS4B series from 1-1/2 to 5 tons, and the GLXS4BA6010 is the top capacity at 60,000 BTU/h.
What sets the 5 ton GLXS4BA6010 apart from the 4 ton?
It adds 12,000 BTU/h of capacity, a taller 39-1/2" cabinet and a 1/3 HP ECM condenser fan in place of the 4 ton's PSC motor. It's paired with the larger D-cabinet AMST60DU1300 instead of the C-cabinet AMST48CU1300.
Why does the 5 ton use the D-cabinet AMST60DU1300?
Five tons of airflow calls for a bigger blower and coil. The 24.5" D cabinet houses an 11" x 10" blower wheel driven by a 1 HP ECM motor.
Can the AMST60DU1300 support 25 kW of electric heat?
Yes. Goodman's heat kit data lists the HKTSD25 (24 kW at 240V) for the AMST60DU1300, along with smaller single-phase kits and three-phase options.
Is the GLXS4BA6010 suitable for light commercial spaces?
It can serve single-phase light commercial spaces such as small offices or retail suites, as long as the load calculation supports 5 tons. Both components run on 208/230V single-phase power, not three-phase.
What footprint should I plan for with the GLXS4BA6010?
The condenser measures 35-1/2" x 35-1/2" and stands 39-1/2" tall. Choose a pad larger than that footprint and leave the service clearances listed in the installation manual.

AMST Technical Specifications
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).
