Goodman 2.5 Ton Central Heat Pump Split System
This AHRI-certified central heat pump split system (Certificate #215429785) pairs the Goodman GZV6SA3010 2.5 Ton variable-speed heat pump condenser with the AHVE36CP0300 multi-positional, communicating air handler. Rated at 17.5 SEER2 and 8.5 HSPF2, the system uses R-32 refrigerant (GWP 675) and features variable-speed operation for both the outdoor compressor and the indoor blower motor. The air handler operates on 115V power and includes an integrated EEV for precise refrigerant metering.

System Components
- GZV6SA3010 — 2.5 Ton Variable-Speed Heat Pump Condenser with R-32 refrigerant, Variable-Speed Swing compressor, and EEV (Electronic Expansion Valve).
- AHVE36CP0300 — Multi-Positional variable-speed ECM air handler with integrated EEV, ¾ HP blower motor, all-aluminum evaporator coil, and communicating controls. Cabinet dimensions: 21" W × 21" D × 53⁷⁄₁₆" H. Electrical: 115V / 1 Phase / 60 Hz.
Pro-Installer Tip
Technical Friction: The AHVE36CP0300 air handler stands 53⁷⁄₁₆" tall with a 21″ depth, which fits most attic and closet spaces. However, the 115V electrical requirement means the circuit must be verified before installation — particularly in retrofit scenarios where the existing air handler may have used a different voltage. The MCA is 10.4A with a maximum overcurrent protection of 15A.
Long-Term Prevention: After connecting the R-32 line set (⅜" liquid, ⅞" suction), pull the system below 300 microns and perform a 20-minute standing vacuum decay test. R-32 is less tolerant of moisture contamination than R-410A. A proper evacuation prevents acid buildup that leads to EEV malfunction and compressor lockout 8–12 months post-install.
Expert Validation: Use a digital micron gauge to verify the evacuation hold. After startup, verify superheat and subcooling using an R-32–calibrated manifold gauge set or digital analyzer. The communicating controls will display real-time performance data through the Goodman smart thermostat once the system is commissioned.
Professional Standard: R-32 is classified as A2L (mildly flammable) and requires EPA Section 608 certification. Ensure the air handler’s SmartFrame cabinet is properly sealed at all panel seams — the unit is rated for less than 2.0% cabinet leakage at 1.0″ WC per ASHRAE Standard 193. Pull all applicable mechanical and electrical permits per local code.
Key Benefits
- 17.5 SEER2 / 8.5 HSPF2 Efficiency: The variable-speed heat pump condenser and communicating air handler work together to deliver high-efficiency cooling and heating across a wide range of outdoor conditions.
- R-32 Low-GWP Refrigerant: R-32 has a Global Warming Potential of 675 — 68% lower than R-410A (GWP 2,088) — meeting current EPA AIM Act phase-down requirements while maintaining strong thermodynamic performance.
- Variable-Speed Operation: Both the outdoor Variable-Speed Swing compressor and the indoor Variable-Speed ECM blower motor modulate output to match the actual load. This reduces temperature swings, improves humidity control, and lowers operating sound levels during part-load conditions.
- All-Aluminum Evaporator Coil: The integrated all-aluminum coil resists galvanic corrosion, eliminating the copper-aluminum interface that causes formicary corrosion and premature coil failure in humid environments.
- Communicating Controls: The AHVE36CP0300 communicating air handler exchanges real-time data with the outdoor unit for optimized system performance, automatic fault diagnostics, and precise airflow management.
- SmartFrame™ Cabinet: The rigid cabinet with foil-faced insulation, screw-less sides, and tool-less filter access reduces installation time and minimizes condensation in humid climates. The 21″ depth fits standard attic access openings.
