This AHRI-certified Dual Fuel System pairs the Goodman GZV6SA2410 2-ton, 18.0 SEER2, 8.5 HSPF2 variable-speed inverter-driven R-32 heat pump with the GRVT800604BN 80% AFUE two-stage gas furnace (60,000 BTU/h input) and the CAPEA2418C3 cased upflow/downflow evaporator coil with factory-installed EEV. This combination delivers efficient all-season comfort: variable-speed heat pump operation for moderate temperatures and automatic switchover to gas furnace heating when outdoor conditions drop below the balance point. AHRI Certified Reference Number: 215487281.

System Components
- GZV6SA2410 — Goodman 2-Ton, 18.0 SEER2 / 8.5 HSPF2, Variable-Speed Inverter-Driven R-32 Side Discharge Heat Pump Condenser (23,200 BTU/h cooling, 23,200 BTU/h heating at 47°F)
- GRVT800604BN — Goodman 60,000 BTU/h Input (48,000 BTU/h Output), 80% AFUE, Two-Stage, Variable-Speed ECM, Upflow/Horizontal Gas Furnace
- CAPEA2418C3 — Goodman 2 Ton Nominal, Cased Upflow/Downflow, All-Aluminum Evaporator Coil with Factory-Installed EEV (21" W × 21" D × 18" H)
Pro-Installer Tip
The Technical Friction: In this dual fuel configuration, the 60,000 BTU two-stage furnace paired with the GZV6SA2410 heat pump requires precise changeover point calibration. The R-32 heat pump's variable-speed compressor provides effective heating down to -10°F, so the balance point where gas heat becomes more economical than electric may be lower than legacy R-410A systems — typically 25–35°F depending on local utility rates.
The Long-Term Prevention: Set the fossil fuel changeover at the calculated economic balance point, not a fixed temperature. Verify the 21" coil-to-furnace fit is flush with no air bypass gaps. Apply UL 181B mastic at all connections to prevent conditioned air loss, which causes callbacks for uneven temperatures.
The Expert Validation: Use a digital manometer to confirm total external static pressure is within the furnace's rated specification. Verify R-32 charge using subcooling method: target 12±1°F at the outdoor unit service valve. All refrigerant work requires EPA Section 608 certification.
The Professional Standard: The R-32 refrigerant (GWP 675) supports 2025 EPA AIM Act HFC phase-down goals. This system may qualify for federal tax credits under IRS 25C for high-efficiency HVAC — verify current eligibility thresholds. Confirm all gas piping meets NFPA 54 and local mechanical code requirements.
Key Benefits
- High-Efficiency Performance: 18.0 SEER2 and 8.5 HSPF2 ratings with variable-speed inverter technology reduce energy consumption compared to single-speed systems by running at lower speeds for longer periods, matching output to actual demand.
- R-32 Refrigerant: GWP of 675 — approximately 68% lower than R-410A (GWP 2,088). Supports 2025 EPA AIM Act HFC phase-down requirements and reduces direct greenhouse gas emission potential.
- Variable-Speed Operation: The swing compressor adjusts speed continuously rather than cycling on/off, providing tighter temperature control (±0.5°F vs. ±2°F for single-stage), reduced humidity, and lower sound levels (as low as 45 dBA in Quiet Mode).
- Dual Fuel Flexibility: Automatically switches between heat pump and 60,000 BTU/h gas furnace based on outdoor temperature, optimizing operating cost by using the most efficient heat source for current conditions.
- Communicating System: EEV-equipped indoor components work with the outdoor unit's control board to optimize refrigerant flow and system performance. Compatible with Goodman GTST connected thermostat for advanced diagnostics.
- Cold Climate Capable: ENERGY STAR Most Efficient 2025 (Cold Climate) certified. Heat pump operates down to -10°F ambient, delivering 14,200 BTU/h at 5°F for reliable heating in harsh conditions.
