System Components
- GZV6SA3010 — 2.5-Ton Variable-Speed Heat Pump Condenser (R-32, 17.5 SEER2 / 8.5 HSPF2), 28,400 BTU/h cooling at 95°F, 28,800 BTU/h heating at 47°F
- CAPEA3022C3 — Cased Upflow/Downflow Evaporator Coil with factory-installed EEV, all-aluminum construction, R-32 optimized, 21" W x 21" D x 22" H
- GCVC800803BX — 80,000 BTU/h 80% AFUE Downflow/Horizontal Gas Furnace, Two-Stage gas valve, Variable-Speed ECM blower motor, 17½" cabinet width, Low NOx
🛠 Pro-Installer Tip
The Technical Friction: In a dual fuel configuration, the GCVC800803BX furnace (Downflow/Horizontal) paired with the CAPEA3022C3 upflow/downflow coil requires precise clearance planning. The 21" coil depth must align with the 17½" furnace cabinet width, and the 1.75 fit designation means the coil-to-furnace transition must be verified for air leakage at the plenum connection.
Long-Term Prevention: On dual fuel changeover, confirm the outdoor thermostat lockout (balance point) is set correctly for the climate zone. If the heat pump operates below its economic balance point without switching to the 80% AFUE gas furnace, the homeowner faces inflated electric bills and compressor stress. Verify subcooling at the service valve reads 14±1°F per the GZV6S specification—an incorrect charge causes nuisance high-pressure lockouts 6–12 months post-install.
Expert Validation: Evacuate to ≤350 microns using a digital micron gauge before releasing the R-32 charge. R-32’s higher operating pressure compared to R-410A demands verified torque on all flare connections using a calibrated torque wrench (per manufacturer torque chart). Confirm gas furnace combustion analysis with a digital analyzer: CO <100 ppm in flue, O₂ between 6–9%.
Professional Standard: R-32 is classified A2L (mildly flammable) under ASHRAE 34. Verify compliance with local Mechanical Code amendments for A2L refrigerants, including charge limits in occupied spaces and required leak detection. EPA Section 608 certification is mandatory. Gas furnace installation must comply with local fuel gas codes and the Low NOx emission requirements for the applicable air quality district.
Key System Benefits
- High-Efficiency Dual Fuel Operation: The 17.5 SEER2 / 8.5 HSPF2 heat pump automatically transitions to the 80% AFUE gas furnace when outdoor temperatures drop below the programmable balance point, optimizing energy costs across all seasons.
- R-32 Low-GWP Refrigerant: R-32 has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 675—68% lower than R-410A (GWP 2,088). This reduces the system’s direct environmental impact while delivering equivalent or improved heat transfer efficiency.
- Variable-Speed Compressor Technology: The GZV6S outdoor unit uses a variable-speed swing compressor that modulates capacity to match the actual load, reducing cycling losses and delivering tighter temperature control compared to fixed-speed systems.
- All-Aluminum Evaporator Coil: The CAPEA3022C3 features an all-aluminum evaporator coil with a factory-installed EEV (Electronic Expansion Valve) for precise refrigerant metering across varying load conditions.
- Variable-Speed ECM Furnace Blower: The GCVC800803BX furnace uses a variable-speed ecm blower motor with two-stage gas valve operation, providing consistent airflow across heating and cooling modes while minimizing electrical consumption at part load.
- ComfortBridge™ Communication: System components communicate digitally for automatic airflow calibration, real-time fault diagnostics, and optimized staging between the heat pump and gas furnace modes.

Let customers speak for us
I absolutely love how easy it is to use and how well they fit and look. Awesome!!
Excellent. Placed unit in a two room cabin with each inside unit on the same common wall. Outside temps were in the low 40’s and the cabin was quickly warmed.
Very easy to install, and with a little trouble shooting with help from tech. it was very quietly putting out ice cold air... Had a bad fuse in my disconnect....
This is a good air conditioner for the price. Our apartment living room and kitchen have been kept nice and cool. The complex we moved into actually already had these installed but I have been so happy with the performance I purchased one for my mom who lives in a tiny home, I'm an HVAC tech and it was about time to replace her HVAC. Yes, I recommend this.
We have zero regrets! No wait, one. That we didn’t get them sooner! We (my husband, self and 19yr old son) work outside noon-8am several days a week in Texas. It doesn’t matter how low you set your AC unit it’s just never enough and it just runs it into the ground. We finally decided to pull the plug. In my 40 years I’ve never slept so good. It’s like hotel good but in your own bed!!! Install was super easy because I watched him do it, LOL. I kid. I’ll ask for his install input and update but seriously he installed all 4 (3 bedrooms and 1 living room) in 2 days. Probably wouldn’t have taken so long if he didn’t have to pour a pad for them but it was well worth it! Last pic is from the Nest. They were installed Friday. Compare usage from Sat & Sun to before we got them! Insane!!!
This was best investment I've ever made. I put this on the wall on my porch that I've converted to a sun room. This extra space that I enclosed with plexiglass and wood and sealed with insulation stayed about 20 degrees different from out side. With a window unit and heaters. Now with the split unit it stays what ever temp I want it to be. The della split unit is so quite I have to put my ear on it to hear it run sometimes the out side unit is even quite. If you mount on outside wall that is a little thin and only a few inches thick it might give a little bit of a hum but so slight you have to want to hear it. Turbo cool or heat will cool or heat super fast. The system is perfect 👌 👍 🥰. I love it.
I live in Florida and our summers are brutal. I installed this in my garage.
It wasn’t a hard install but it took my dad and I about 8 hours. He ran the electrical.
Around this time of the year, my garage is around 82 degrees and +70% humidity, the air is very wet.
This morning it was 74” and 52% humidity.
The indoor and outdoor units are remarkably quieter compared to our house’s HVAC system.
I bought and installed 2 of the della mini splits in the last 8 months, one for my double wide 1800 sqf that I am remodeling little by little, and another for my daughters craftsman home. What an improvement! So silent! So efficient! So easy of operating. For the last 10+ years, we have been using windows AC units and radiant heaters after our central heat and air system broke. The suffering is over. We are saving $100 a month on the power bill and enjoying ourselves inside now. Our Great Pyrenees friends are enjoying the AC's too during the scorching hot summer days. They are pretty easy to install. Follow the instructions on the book and watch some videos on YouTube. On the second install, I made an electrical mistake and purchased the wrong breaker. I am only a landscaper by the way. No problem! I called the technical support number and a very nice tech called me back after just a few hours and figured it out by phone within 5 minutes. It is all great! We just keep it simple by using the remotes. I love the delay timer option. Now that the weather is cooling down (80's max), I set the timer so it doesn't come ON automatically before 12 pm. By the time the girls come from school, 75°f is back as set. GREAT PRODUCT, GREAT TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Installation was a breeze. Unit is working flawlessly. I love that it connected to my Alexa and I can voice control or use the Della app. I am going to purchase a second Della for our guest home.
Got these panels for my backyard as the wall for the Composting area. Black is good for absorbing the heat of the sun and is easy to hide the ugly things. It is a good quality product. The foot support is stainless steel and long enough to bind the ground and the panels. As it is with a good quality, it is just a little heavy, which may require two people to move around or install it.
Solid plastic material. Assembly was easy with a power screwdriver. Looks better than an ugly air conditioner unit.
Great value and just the right size. Note that if you want to place them in a straight line, you will need to use an electric screwdriver to tighten the screws.
Made from good quality materials. Very easy to install and assemble. Looks great to hide the trash bins. Would buy more for AC.
I use it to cover the trash can. It is very practical. This way you can't see the dirty surface of the trash can. I strongly recommend it.
Great product. Installation was very easy
