Goodman 3.0 Ton Multi-position Air Handler cabinet with Expansion, AMST36BU1300
Goodman 3.0 Ton Multi-position Air Handler cabinet with Expansion, AMST36BU1300
Goodman AMST36BU1300 is rated at 3 tons. It has strong airflow. It has a 9 speed ECM motor. It is designed for multi position flexibility. It provides comfort, performance, and longevity across a wide array of residential use.
Product Overview
The AMST36BU1300 is designed for durability and efficiency. It is built with a 9 speed ECM motor designed to gradually change the airflow of the motor, leading to more evenly spaced temperatures, and less energy usage. Its multi position cabinet lets the user install the system a variety of ways via upflow, downflow, and horizontal arrangements. It has an all-aluminum evaporator coil that helps with the speedy transfer of heat (and doesn't corrode). It is TXV ready, which means more control over the refrigerant and overall better performance of the system.

Capacity & Coverage
This 3 ton air handler is ideal for homes measuring 1500 to 1900 sq ft. This is dependent on insulation and climate. The ECM motor provides stable flow of air leading to better control of humidity and comfort in the home.
Efficiency
This ECM Blower is designed to save energy and work better than standard electric motors. It works great in conjunction with TXV (Thermal Expansion Valve) by providing better temperature control and refrigerant metering with even greater cooling efficiency. It also allows for better temperature control and cooling efficiency as refrigerant metering and cooling temperatures are better improved.
Construction & Design
The company's assembled cabinets are designed with painted, durable steel, built to withstand years because of their reliable longevity. The evaporated coils are made completely out of aluminum and designed to withstand the rust and corrosion obtained with inefficient transfer of heat. The coil also has a width of 21 inches, providing greater surface area for the distribution of flow, and it is designed to fit in commonly used installation areas.
Installation & Application
The AMST36BU1300 model has great versatility in its duct configuration with the upflow, downflow, side left, and side right installations. It features a front access panel that allows for easy coil, motor, and electrical maintenance.
Noise & Comfort
The 9-speed ECM motors are designed for comfort with increased airflow as they run much quieter. Because of this, they are able to reduce temperature swings. In addition to improved airflow, comfort control is also achieved.
