This Goodman 3.5 Ton 17.5 SEER2 Central Heat Pump Split System pairs the GZV7SA4210 variable-speed inverter-driven heat pump condenser with the AHVE60DP0300 multi-positional air handler in a single AHRI-certified matched configuration (AHRI Ref. #215429751).
The system provides up to 41,000 BTU/h of cooling capacity and up to 41,000 BTU/h of heating at 47°F. It uses R-32 refrigerant (GWP 675) and is ENERGY STAR® Cold Climate Certified / Most Efficient 2025.

System Components
- GZV7SA4210 — Goodman 3.5 Ton variable-speed, inverter-driven, side-discharge R-32 heat pump condenser. ENERGY STAR® Cold Climate Certified / Most Efficient 2025. Features quiet-mode operation (as low as 45 dBA), EEV metering, and field-selectable boost mode.
- AHVE60DP0300 — Goodman multi-positional, variable-speed ECM air handler with internal EEV, communicating. 24½" Cabinet Width cabinet. All-aluminum 7mm evaporator coil, SmartFrame™ cabinet, 21" depth for attic access. 115V.
Pro-Installer Tip
[Technical Friction]: The AHVE air handler's 21" cabinet depth is designed for tighter attic and closet applications, but confirm vertical clearance requirements. In vertical upflow configuration, you need adequate height for the air handler plus the required filter access clearance. The coil mounting track allows field repositioning — verify orientation matches the ductwork layout before final refrigerant connections.
[Long-Term Prevention]: Set up the communicating system via the GTST thermostat during initial startup. Proper airflow tonnage selection through the communicating interface eliminates the most common source of comfort complaints and short-cycling callbacks. Verify the CFM indicator reading matches the design airflow within ±10%.
[Expert Validation]: After evacuation to 500 microns (verified with a digital micron gauge), charge per the manufacturer's subcooling chart — target 9±1°F subcooling for this condenser. The EEV auto-controls superheat, so focus your commissioning measurements on subcooling and static pressure.
[Professional Standard]: Ensure the installation complies with ASHRAE 15 and local codes for A2L (R-32) refrigerant systems. Verify the factory-installed R-32 sensor in the air handler is operational. This system may qualify for federal energy efficiency tax credits — confirm the AHRI certificate number against the IRS qualified product list.
Key Performance Benefits
- Variable-Speed Inverter Compressor: The GZV7SA4210 uses a variable-speed swing compressor that modulates capacity to match the actual load, reducing energy consumption and maintaining tighter temperature control compared to single- or two-stage systems.
- Cold Climate Certified: This system carries ENERGY STAR® Cold Climate certification and Most Efficient 2025 designation, meaning it maintains reliable heating capacity down to 5°F outdoor ambient — rated at 31,000 BTU/h at that temperature.
- Low-GWP R-32 Refrigerant: R-32 has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 675, approximately 68% lower than R-410A (GWP 2,088). This reduces the environmental impact of the system over its service life while also improving thermodynamic efficiency.
- Quiet Operation: The condenser features a quiet-mode setting with up to three selectable sound levels, operating as low as 45 dBA — comparable to a quiet library. The high-density compressor sound blanket and digitally commutated fan motor further reduce operational noise.
- All-Electric Heat Pump Heating: With no gas furnace dependency, this all-electric configuration is well-suited for homes without natural gas service or for electrification retrofits, delivering efficient heating down to 5°F ambient.
- Variable-Speed Air Handler: The AHVE air handler features a variable-speed ECM blower motor that adjusts airflow to match system demand, improving humidity control and reducing blower energy consumption.
