Model: GPHM54231 | Type: R-32 packaged heat pump | Nominal size: 3.5 ton
Goodman GPHM5 is a higher-efficiency R-32 packaged heat pump (all-in-one outdoor unit) built for ducted cooling and heating with horizontal or downflow airflow configurations. It’s designed for applications where the outdoor unit connects directly to supply/return ductwork. Sizing should be done with a proper load calculation (tonnage is capacity, not a guaranteed square-foot number).

Cooling details
Provides 42,000 BTU/h of total cooling with 29,820 BTU/h of sensible capacity. EER2 (11.4) is measured at a single test condition, while SEER2 (15.0) represents seasonal efficiency over a range of conditions—use both to compare models and estimate operating costs.
Heating details
Heat pump output is listed at two common rating points: 41,000 BTU/h at 47°F and 24,000 BTU/h at 17°F. The COP values (47°F: 3.50, 17°F: 2.20) indicate heating efficiency at those points. In colder climates, many installations add a field-installed electric heat kit for auxiliary/emergency heat.
Airflow, comfort & filtration
- Multi-speed ECM indoor blower helps match airflow to duct design and comfort needs.
- Convertible airflow supports horizontal or downflow duct connections (field-configurable).
- Metering device: evaporator TXV; condenser TXV.
- Filtration approach depends on your installation (internal/external filter racks are available as accessories).
Construction & durability
- Condenser coil: copper tube/aluminum fin. Evaporator coil: all-aluminum (2–4 ton models).
- Liquid-line filter drier included.
- Compressor: high-efficiency two-stage scroll (2.5–5 ton).
- Heavy-gauge galvanized-steel cabinet with two-tone Architectural Gray powder-paint finish and foil-faced internal insulation (reinforced with fiberglass scrim).
- Fully insulated air-handling compartment with access panels and louvered condenser coil protection.
- Meets cabinet air leakage requirements when tested to ASHRAE Standard 193; when properly anchored, meets 2023 Florida Building Code unit integrity requirements for hurricane-type winds (anchor bracket kits available).
Installation planning (verify before ordering)
- Chassis size: Large
- Unit dimensions: W 47 in × D 51 in × Height A 40 in (Height B 42¾ in)
- Duct openings: Supply 16 x 18 (W×H) / Return 16 x 18 (W×H)
- Condensate drain: 3/4" NPT female connection.
- Downflow installs: manufacturer notes require horizontal duct covers plus either a downflow conversion kit or a downflow economizer.
- Electrical planning: use MCA/MOP values for breaker and wire sizing, and always verify against the unit’s nameplate (S&R plate). Use time-delay fuses or HACR-type breakers as required.
Common add-ons (sold separately)
- Electric heat kit (field-installed) for auxiliary/emergency heat
- Economizer options (fresh air / ventilation) — varies by chassis
- Roof curb and concentric kit options — varies by chassis
- Filter rack options (internal downflow or external horizontal)
What’s included: packaged heat pump unit only (factory charged). Thermostat/controls, ductwork, curb, economizer, and electric heat kit (if needed) are typically purchased separately and installed by a licensed HVAC professional.
