System Overview
This Goodman 5-Ton Central Heat Pump Split System pairs the GZV7SA6010 variable-speed, inverter-driven R-32 heat pump condenser with the AHVE60DP1300 variable-speed air handler. The system is AHRI certified (Certificate #216835221) and rated at 18.0 SEER2 / 9.8 EER2 / 9.0 HSPF2, qualifying for the ENERGY STAR Cold Climate Certified designation.
This matched system delivers both heating and cooling from a single outdoor unit, with the variable-speed air handler providing precise airflow management for enhanced comfort and humidity control.

What’s Included
- GZV7SA6010 — Goodman 5-Ton Variable-Speed Inverter-Driven R-32 Side-Discharge Heat Pump Condenser (52,000 BTU/h Cooling / 54,000 BTU/h Heating @ 47°F)
- AHVE60DP1300 — Goodman 5-Ton Multi-Position Variable-Speed Air Handler with Internal EEV, Multi-Positional, 24½" Cabinet Width, 1 HP Variable-Speed ECM
Pro-Installer Tip: Air Handler Placement and Condensate Management
The Technical Friction: The AHVE60DP1300 air handler is 58" tall with a 21" depth. In attic installations, confirm truss spacing and access clearances before scheduling delivery. The unit’s multi-positional design accommodates vertical upflow, vertical downflow, and horizontal configurations, but horizontal applications require the optional downflow kit (DFKE-02) and condensate management kit for proper drain routing.
The Long-Term Prevention: Install a secondary drain pan with a float switch beneath the air handler in all attic or above-ceiling installations. The 21" depth and SmartFrame cabinet design ease access, but condensate pump failures in hidden spaces without secondary protection can lead to significant water damage within hours.
The Expert Validation: Verify the EEV operation after commissioning by confirming 11±1°F subcooling at the outdoor unit service valve using a digital manifold gauge. The variable-speed compressor and variable-speed air handler blower must be properly commissioned through the communicating thermostat to ensure matched ramp rates.
The Professional Standard: R-32 is classified as A2L (mildly flammable, GWP 675). The air handler includes a factory-installed R-32 sensor designed for the lifespan of the coil. All installations must comply with EPA Section 608 certification requirements and ASHRAE 15/34 safety standards.
Key System Benefits
- Variable-Speed Inverter Technology: The GZV7SA6010 uses a variable-speed swing compressor with inverter drive, modulating capacity from partial load to full output. This reduces short-cycling, lowers sound levels (as low as 45 dBA in Quiet Mode), and improves humidity control compared to single-speed systems.
- ENERGY STAR Cold Climate Certified: This system meets the EPA’s stringent Cold Climate Heat Pump criteria, meaning it maintains effective heating capacity at temperatures well below freezing—delivering 46,000 BTU/h at 5°F and supporting operation down to -10°F.
- R-32 Low-GWP Refrigerant: R-32 has a Global Warming Potential of 675, approximately 68% lower than R-410A (GWP 2,088). This supports AIM Act and EPA Phasedown compliance while delivering improved thermodynamic efficiency per pound of refrigerant.
- Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) Metering: Both the outdoor unit and the indoor coil utilize EEV technology for precise superheat and subcooling control across all operating conditions, reducing energy waste at part-load compared to fixed-orifice systems.
- Communicating System Architecture: When paired with a Goodman GTST connected thermostat, the system uses two-wire communicating protocol between indoor and outdoor components for coordinated staging, fault diagnostics, and field-selectable boost mode.
