The Direct Comfort by Goodman® DC-GSXH5 15.2 SEER2 Central Air Conditioner uses the environmentally friendly refrigerant R-410A and features energy efficiencies and operating sound levels that are among the best in the heating and air conditioning industry. R-410A is chlorine-free to help prevent damage to the ozone layer. The DC-GSXH5 features a high-efficiency scroll compressor and is designed for the consumer who desires superior comfort, quiet operation, and environmentally friendly air conditioning performance.

This central air conditioning condenser requires an indoor air handler or evaporator coil as part of a complete system. What tonnage coil or air handler should you use? It depends on two factors about the outside portion of the central air conditioning system: 1) the tonnage, and 2) the efficiency rating (listed as "SEER2"). Usually, high efficiency central air conditioning condensers are required to use a larger tonnage evaporator coil than the tonnage of the outside central air condenser. (For example, a 2 ton central air conditioning condenser might be paired with a 3 ton or 3.5 ton evaporator coil.) To find the specific coils or air handlers that are recommended by Direct Comfort by Goodman for this central air conditioning condenser, please click on the Accessories tab above. (Also, you can view Direct Comfort by Goodman's specifications sheets at the Documents tab above).

In order to achieve the 15.2 SEER2 efficiency this central air conditioner must be installed with the manufacturer recommended evaporator coil and thermostatic expansion valve (TXV), furnace plus evaporator coil and TXV valve, high efficiency air handler with an internal TXV valve, or variable speed modular blower plus evaporator coil and TXV valve. (See the Accessories tab above for most compatible products, or speak to a product specialist at 1-800-865-5931 to verify central air conditioning efficiency with particular equipment combinations).

Please note that this air conditioning equipment comes pre-charged with R-410A liquid refrigerant and by Federal law cannot be released to the atmosphere. Yes, you can purchase this equipment without being EPA certified. And, if you are mechanically inclined you may perform about 90% of the equipment installation yourself. However, we strongly recommend to have a professional heating/cooling contractor do the final part of the installation including managing the refrigerant. An HVAC contractor has the tools and know-how to do this work. Also, having a contractor perform the final startup and inspection of this central air conditioner validates your warranty with Alpine.
