I'm troubleshooting a goodman heatpump and was wondering if the static pressure of .3 which it was designed for was ok? Trunk lines seem sized right to a .3. Is this a goodman thing(not much goodman experience)?

From the information I have, they duct was designed at a .3 external static pressure. I'm wondering why it was designed at a .3 instead of .1. Is this how Goodman recommends installation or was this decision from the installer since the trunk lines can be made smaller on a .3.

The only way to determine the ducts proper size is to run a Manual D calculation.
To see how bad the present duct system is affecting airflow check the total external static pressure of the air handler with a magnehelic or digital manometer & plot it on the fan performance data to determine fan airflow.
This information should be in the installation or service literature,be sure & read it thoroughly & look at all footnotes.

I called Goodman an the tech rep said it should be that model should be installed with a static pressure of .2-.5. The tech data with the unit said tested up to .2.
Looks like a .1 was not an option.

.1 Static Pressure is very low,most equipment will deliver too much air at .1 External Static Pressure.

.1 on a Ductolator ,is Not .1 Static,I think you may be confusing the two of these.
