This Goodman 3-Ton Dual Fuel System pairs the GZV6SA3610* variable-speed heat pump with the GMVM971005CN 97% AFUE gas furnace and the CAPEA3626C3 evaporator coil. Rated at 16.0 SEER2 and 8.5 HSPF2, this AHRI-certified combination (Certificate #215447219) delivers efficient year-round comfort using R-32 refrigerant. The system automatically switches between electric heat pump and gas furnace heating based on outdoor conditions, optimizing energy use across all climate zones.

System Components
- Outdoor Heat Pump Condenser: Goodman GZV6SA3610* — 3-Ton variable-speed inverter-driven R-32 heat pump with swing compressor, EEV metering, and digitally commutated condenser fan motor. Sound power as low as 45 dBA in quiet mode.
- Evaporator Coil: Goodman CAPEA3626C3A* — 3-Ton cased Upflow/Downflow all-aluminum evaporator coil with integrated EEV, factory-installed R-32 sensor, and thermoplastic drain pan with secondary drain connection.
- Gas Furnace: Goodman GMVM971005CNB — 97% AFUE, 100,000 BTU/h input, Upflow/Horizontal configuration with Modulating gas valve, Variable-Speed ECM blower motor, aluminized-steel primary and stainless-steel secondary heat exchangers, and integrated ComfortBridge communicating technology. Natural Gas.
Pro-Installer Tip
The Technical Friction: Dual fuel changeover calibration with a modulating furnace and variable-speed heat pump demands precise low-ambient lockout configuration. The outdoor unit's compressor staging must align with the furnace's modulating gas valve to prevent short-cycling during the transition temperature range (typically 30-40 deg.F).
The Long-Term Prevention: During commissioning, verify the balance-point temperature setting through the communicating thermostat interface. Setting this too high forces unnecessary gas consumption; too low risks compressor strain in extreme cold. A properly calibrated balance point prevents nuisance lockout calls and keeps operating costs predictable through the first full heating season.
The Expert Validation: Use the CoolCloud app to monitor compressor frequency and furnace modulation rate simultaneously during commissioning. Verify the subcooling target of 15 +/- 1 deg.F at the outdoor service valve with a digital manifold gauge set before sealing up the system.
The Professional Standard: Confirm the furnace flue termination meets local building code clearance requirements for 2-pipe direct-vent installations (typically 12" from any openable window). In California, verify the unit's Low NOx certification meets the regional air quality district requirements — this GMVM97 model cannot be installed in SCAQMD or SJVAPCD jurisdictions.
Key System Benefits
- Dual Fuel Versatility: Automatic switching between electric heat pump and 97% AFUE gas furnace heating optimizes energy costs based on outdoor temperature and local utility rates.
- High Seasonal Efficiency: 16.0 SEER2 cooling and 8.5 HSPF2 heating ratings reduce annual energy consumption compared to standard-efficiency systems, potentially qualifying for federal tax credits and utility rebates.
- Variable-Speed Comfort: Both the outdoor compressor and indoor blower operate at variable speeds, delivering precise temperature and humidity control while minimizing noise and temperature swings.
- Low-GWP R-32 Refrigerant: R-32 offers a 68% lower global warming potential than R-410A and provides higher volumetric cooling capacity, supporting the industry transition under the AIM Act phasedown schedule.
- Communicating System Integration: ComfortBridge technology enables the thermostat, furnace, and outdoor unit to share operational data in real time, automatically adjusting airflow, staging, and balance-point settings for optimized performance.

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
