When a Leander homeowner needed a reliable HVAC upgrade, they called Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning. Our team installed a full Goodman gas furnace and central AC system, added an ecobee smart thermostat, and cleaned up the airflow path for better temperature control throughout the home.
Job Overview
- Location: Leander, TX
- Client Type: Residential homeowner
- Scope: Full HVAC system replacement—new outdoor condenser on a new pad, upflow furnace in a hallway closet, coil, filter base, plenum transition, and smart thermostat installation
- Equipment Installed: Goodman GSXH5 air conditioner, GM9S80 gas furnace (60k BTU), CAPTA cased coil, and an ecobee smart thermostat
- Why It Mattered: The existing system showed age and efficiency loss. The upgrade brings steadier temps, safer operation, and a modern control that helps the homeowner manage energy use.
What We Found
During our onsite review, the original system was aging and underserving peak demand. The indoor unit’s closet install had a tight return path and dated connections. Outdoor, the placement needed a fresh, level pad and proper clearances to support long-term performance.
The Solution
Radiant’s installation team set a new, level equipment pad and placed the Goodman GSXH5 condenser with correct clearances. Indoors, we installed a GM9S80 upflow furnace with a matched CAPTA coil, built a new filter base, and fabricated a clean plenum transition to improve airflow. We updated refrigerant, drain, low-voltage, and gas connections, commissioned the system, and paired an ecobee smart thermostat so the homeowner can monitor and adjust settings from anywhere. Final steps included closing the City of Leander permit and registering equipment for warranty.
