This Goodman 3.5 Ton 17.0 SEER2 Dual Fuel System pairs the GZV7SA4210 variable-speed inverter-driven heat pump condenser with the CAPEA6030D3 evaporator coil and the GRVT800804CX gas furnace, delivering both electric heat pump heating and gas furnace backup in a single AHRI-certified matched configuration (AHRI Ref. #215434314).
The system provides up to 40,500 BTU/h of cooling capacity and up to 41,000 BTU/h of heat pump heating at 47°F, with gas furnace backup rated at 80,000 BTU/h input (80% AFUE). It uses R-32 refrigerant (GWP 675), a low-GWP alternative to R-410A, 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.
- CAPEA6030D3 — Goodman cased upflow/downflow indoor evaporator coil with internal EEV (Electronic Expansion Valve). Cabinet dimensions: 24½" W x 21" D x 30" H. All-aluminum coil construction, R-32 optimized with factory-installed refrigerant sensor.
- GRVT800804CX — Goodman two-stage, variable-speed ecm gas furnace. 80,000 BTU/h input, 80% AFUE. Upflow/Horizontal configuration. Low NOx. Integrated communicating ComfortBridge™ technology.
Pro-Installer Tip
[Technical Friction]: The GZV7SA4210 operates on R-32 refrigerant, which is classified as A2L (mildly flammable). When pairing with non-R-32-ready furnaces, ensure you have ordered the R-32 Accessory Kit (Part #0230K00044). Without this kit, the system may not pass inspection and could create a compliance issue with UL 60335 2-40 requirements. Additionally, this side-discharge condenser requires a minimum of 12" clearance on the discharge side and 6" on all other sides — verify this against the existing pad footprint before quoting the job.
[Long-Term Prevention]: During commissioning, verify the switchover set-point (balance point) between heat pump and gas furnace modes is properly configured via the communicating thermostat. A misconfigured balance point leads to excessive auxiliary heat usage and inflated utility bills within the first heating season, which becomes a nuisance callback. Document the balance point setting on the service label.
[Expert Validation]: After evacuating the lineset, pull a vacuum to 500 microns or below and perform a standing decay test for a minimum of 10 minutes using a digital micron gauge (e.g., BluVac+). The EEV in this system is sensitive to moisture contamination — a proper vacuum protects the expansion valve and compressor long-term.
[Professional Standard]: R-32 systems require EPA Section 608 certification for handling. Verify compliance with local mechanical codes for A2L refrigerant installations, including any required leak detection provisions per ASHRAE 15 / UL 60335-2-40. In eligible configurations, this system may qualify for federal energy efficiency tax credits under 25C — confirm AHRI certification number with 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.
- Dual Fuel Flexibility: The system automatically switches between heat pump heating and gas furnace backup based on the configured balance point, optimizing between electric and gas costs depending on outdoor temperature and utility rates.
- Communicating System Integration: When paired with a Goodman GTST communicating thermostat, all components communicate over a two-wire connection, enabling automatic airflow optimization, advanced diagnostics via CoolCloud™ app, and simplified commissioning.
