System Overview
This Goodman 3.5 Ton Central Heat Pump Split System pairs the GZV6SA4210 high-efficiency, variable-speed, inverter-driven R-32 heat pump with the AHVE60DP1300 Multi-Position Air Handler. Rated at 17.0 SEER2 and 8.2 HSPF2, this AHRI-certified combination (Certificate #215429790) delivers all-electric heating and cooling with the air handler providing the indoor blower, evaporator coil, and EEV in a single integrated cabinet. The AHVE-series air handler features a variable-speed ECM blower motor with communicating capability, a 21" cabinet depth for easier attic access, and all-aluminum evaporator coil construction optimized for R-32 refrigerant.

Pro-Installer Tip
The Technical Friction: The AHVE air handler's 21" depth makes it a strong choice for tight attic installations, but the 58" overall height means you need sufficient vertical clearance above the unit for the supply plenum transition. In horizontal attic applications, verify that the truss spacing and attic height accommodate both the air handler dimensions and the required clearances to combustible materials.
The Long-Term Prevention: The AHVE's SmartFrame™ cabinet uses screw-less sides and back panels, which reduces condensation points in humid attic environments. However, verify that the foil-faced insulation is fully intact after positioning—even small gaps in the cabinet insulation can create condensation drip points that corrode the drain pan over time. Apply UL-listed aluminum foil tape over any insulation seams disrupted during installation.
The Expert Validation: After completing refrigerant line connections, run the communicating setup procedure through the Goodman GTST connected thermostat or CoolCloud™ app. The system should auto-detect the air handler model and configure airflow tables automatically. Verify the CFM indicator on the air handler reads within ±5% of the target 1,400 CFM (400 CFM/ton × 3.5 tons) at the design static pressure.
The Professional Standard: R-32 systems with the AHVE air handler include a factory-installed R-32 refrigerant sensor. Confirm the sensor LED indicator shows active status before closing up the equipment closet or attic access. Per UL 60335 2-40, the sensor must remain unobstructed for the life of the system. All R-32 work requires EPA Section 608 certification.
Key Benefits
- Integrated System Design: The AHVE air handler combines evaporator coil, blower, EEV, and control board in a single matched cabinet, eliminating field-installed coil positioning, separate TXV/piston kits, and multi-component wiring.
- Variable-Speed Comfort: Both the outdoor compressor and indoor blower operate on variable-speed ECM motors, synchronizing airflow and refrigerant flow for optimal humidity control and consistent room temperatures across all load conditions.
- R-32 Environmental Advantage: R-32 refrigerant carries a GWP of 675—approximately 68% lower than R-410A. The factory-installed R-32 sensor in the air handler provides continuous monitoring per UL 60335 2-40 safety requirements.
- Attic-Friendly Dimensions: The 21" cabinet depth fits standard attic truss spacing, and tool-less filter access simplifies homeowner maintenance. The SmartFrame™ construction with screw-less sides minimizes condensation entry points.
- Communicating Architecture: Two-wire communicating connection between outdoor unit and air handler enables automatic configuration, real-time performance monitoring, and Bluetooth-accessible diagnostics via CoolCloud™.
- Quiet Operation: Outdoor unit quiet-mode reduces sound to as low as 45 dBA, while the variable-speed indoor blower ramps gradually to avoid the abrupt on/off noise of single-speed systems.

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
