4. Refrigerant Information: R-32
The Goodman GLZS4BA6010 utilizes R-32 refrigerant, a modern and environmentally conscious choice for air conditioning systems. R-32 is known for its higher energy efficiency compared to older refrigerants like R-410A, potentially leading to lower electricity bills. Furthermore, R-32 has a significantly lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 675, compared to R-410A's GWP of 2,088. This makes R-32 a greener option, aligning with global initiatives to protect the ozone layer and reduce climate change. Choosing an R-32 system contributes to a more sustainable future.
