Overview
Many HVAC companies in the HVAC
market offer a variety of features to their customers in order to meet all
their needs and provide excellent heating and cooling for their homes. Among
the HVAC companies, one that stands out is Goodman. Goodman thrives to build
the best HVAC machines you can get in an HVAC system. Among the many machines
they make, in this system, we have the GSZ14 heat pump complete with a quiet
condenser fan motor, efficient cooling capacity, and factory-installed heater
band. These qualities make the heat pump an ideal choice for the HVAC system
and are able to meet all HVAC needs efficiently.
In addition to the heat pump, the
ARUF air handler along with the HKSC heat kit installed into it. The air
handler has been fitted with several features which allow it to fight humidity
in your home, like an all-aluminum evaporator coil and an MBR blower motor. The
heat kit brings its own set of advantages as well in the form of sequencers
which allow for more precise temperature control and multiple branch circuit
capabilities.

Goodman tries its best to ensure
that their products perform to the high regards they are held to and do so with
great precision. Keeping these things in mind, Goodman tries to incorporate a
lot of useful features into each HVAC machine they produce. Therefore, for our
system, we will be using the all-powerful GSZ14 heat pump, which Goodman has
fitted with all the right add-ons. These include:
-
Quiet Condenser Fan Motor
-
Efficient Cooling Capacity
-
Quiet Operation
-
Factory-Installed Bi-flow Liquid Line Filter
Drier
-
Factory-Installed Heater Band and Suction Line
Accumulator
To handle the airflow across the
condensing coil, Goodman has deployed the three-blade high-efficiency
single-speed specialized fan motor. This motor allows for efficient and
dependable airflow over the condensing coil. To support this efficiency, the
cooling capacity of the heat pump has also been improved with the use of
refrigeration-grade premium copper tubing and an aluminum fin condenser coil
configuration. This aids in supporting the efficient R-410A refrigerant.
In addition to this, the heat
pump takes steps to reduce the operational noise with the top of the cabinet
being acoustically engineered. This helps cut down on noise significantly as
opposed to other units without sound control enhancements.
As for protective mechanisms, the
heat pump has solutions set in place. With the inclusion of a factory-installed
bi-flow liquid line filter drier, the refrigerant system is protected from dirt
and moisture. Moreover, due to the anti-mold environment, you do not have to
worry about ending up with molds in duct anytime soon. This, in turn, makes the
chore of ac maintenance & repair much easier.
Due to the presence of a
factory-installed heater band and suction line accumulator, the Goodman GSZ14
ensures that the refrigerant running through the system is ready for smooth and
energy-efficient performance regardless of how extreme the external
temperatures are.

The ARUF air handler in this
system is one that has been tried and tested for efficient and satisfactory
performance. In addition to this, the air handler features a solid construction
which makes it a durable and reliable choice for your home. Other notable
features include:
-
All-Aluminum Evaporator Coil
-
Field-Installed Electric heat
-
Modular Configurations with Upflow, Counterflow
and Horizontal Position
-
Field-Installed Heat Strips
The all-aluminum coil serves as
the main base of the air handler’s efficient heat transfer capabilities. Due to
its advanced design and resistance to corrosion and rust, the air handler is
both durable and reliable. Moreover, you will be saving a ton in ac maintenance
& repair as you will not have too much of trouble keeping the system clean.
In addition to this, to allow for
easy HVAC installation, Goodman has fitted the air handler with the MBR blower
motor. This allows for modular configurations with upflow, counterflow and
horizontal positions. This makes the AC installation procedure very easy and
makes it a good choice for AC replacement.
Finally, the air handler has
field-installed electric heat and heat strips to allow between 3-20 kW for
emergency heating needs.
