This Goodman Dual Fuel System combines the GZV6SA4810 variable-speed inverter-driven heat pump condenser with the GRVS960805CU gas furnace and CHPEA4830C3 evaporator coil, delivering 16.5 SEER2 efficiency when cooling and 96.0% AFUE gas heating performance. AHRI Certified under Certificate No. 215487334, this matched R-32 system provides year-round comfort through automatic heat source switching — the heat pump handles moderate temperatures while the gas furnace takes over during extreme cold for maximum economy.

System Components
- GZV6SA4810 — Goodman 4 Ton Variable-Speed Inverter-Driven R-32 Side-Discharge Heat Pump Condenser (208-230/1/60)
- CHPEA4830C3 — Goodman Cased Horizontal R-32 Evaporator Coil with Internal EEV
- GRVS960805CU — Goodman 80,000 BTU/h 96% AFUE Single-Stage Variable-Speed ECM Upflow/Horizontal Gas Furnace, Ultra Low NOx
Pro-Installer Tip
The Technical Friction: R-32 systems operating in dual fuel mode require precise changeover point calibration. The GZV6SA4810's EEV and variable-speed compressor demand verified subcooling at the service valve (9±1°F per manufacturer spec) — rushing this step with non-communicating thermostats can cause short-cycling at the switchover temperature.
The Long-Term Prevention: After commissioning, run both heating modes through a full cycle and verify the fossil fuel kit (AFE18-60A) changeover relay timing. Confirm the defrost board lockout settings match the furnace two-stage timing to prevent nuisance fault codes 6-12 months into the first heating season.
The Expert Validation: Use a digital manifold gauge set with R-32 pressure tables and verify superheat/subcooling with a thermocouple-equipped meter. The EEV auto-controls superheat, but subcooling at the liquid service valve must be manually verified during the final charge procedure.
The Professional Standard: R-32 (GWP 675) requires EPA Section 608 certification for handling. Verify local code compliance for the furnace venting configuration — 80% AFUE units require Category I venting while 96-97% AFUE condensing furnaces require Category IV PVC venting per the latest edition of NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.
Key Benefits
- High-Efficiency Cooling: 16.5 SEER2 rating reduces electricity consumption compared to federal minimum 14.3 SEER2 systems, translating to measurable utility savings over the equipment lifespan.
- Dual Fuel Flexibility: Automatically switches between heat pump (electric) and gas furnace (96% AFUE) based on outdoor temperature, optimizing fuel costs across all climate conditions.
- Variable-Speed Inverter Compressor: The swing compressor modulates capacity between partial and full load, maintaining tighter temperature control (±0.5°F) and reducing on/off cycling that causes temperature swings and increased wear.
- R-32 Refrigerant (GWP 675): Lower Global Warming Potential than R-410A (GWP 2088), reducing the system's direct environmental impact by approximately 68% — consistent with EPA AIM Act and future regulatory requirements.
- Quiet Operation: Quiet-mode operation as low as 45 dBA with high-density compressor sound blanket and digitally commutated fan motor for reduced sound output — suitable for noise-sensitive installations near bedrooms or property lines.
- ENERGY STAR Most Efficient 2025 (Cold Climate): Recognized by the EPA as meeting the most rigorous energy efficiency performance levels, qualifying for potential utility rebates and federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
