System Components
- GZV6SA4210 — Goodman 3.5-Ton Variable-Speed Inverter-Driven R-32 Side Discharge Heat Pump Condenser (37"W x 12⅝"D x 39"H, 168 lbs)
- CAPEA4830D3 — Goodman Upflow/Downflow Cased Evaporator Coil with Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV), All-Aluminum Coil, R-32 Optimized (24½" x 21" x 30", 70 lbs)
- GMVC961005CN — Goodman 96% AFUE Upflow/Horizontal Two-Stage Gas Furnace, 100,000 BTU/h Input, Variable-Speed ECM, ComfortBridge™ Communicating, Natural Gas (21" x 28⅞" x 34½", 145 lbs)
Pro-Installer Tip
Technical Friction: Dual fuel systems with R-32 require careful attention to the changeover balance point. The GZV6S variable-speed heat pump operates efficiently down to -10°F ambient, but the switchover to the GMVC961005CN furnace must be programmed based on the regional utility rate crossover — not just outdoor temperature. In communicating mode, only two low-voltage wires run to the outdoor unit, but confirm the indoor coil's EEV wiring harness is properly seated before commissioning.
Long-Term Prevention: After initial startup, verify subcooling at the service valve reads 8±1°F per the GZV6S specification for this tonnage. Out-of-spec subcooling on day one creates compressor bearing wear that shows up as a warranty call at month 14. Install a field bi-flow filter drier (included) on the liquid line and pull the system to 350 microns or below before releasing the 100 oz factory charge.
Expert Validation: Use a digital manifold gauge with R-32 PT charts (Testo 557s or equivalent) to confirm operating pressures. R-32 operates at approximately 15% higher discharge pressures than R-410A — standard gauge sets without updated scales will give misleading readings. Verify superheat is in auto-control mode via the seven-segment LED display on the outdoor unit control board.
Professional Standard: R-32 is classified as A2L (mildly flammable). EPA Section 608 certification is required for handling. Ensure the installation meets the latest edition of ASHRAE 15 and UL 60335-2-40 charge-size limits for the installed space. For California installations with Natural Gas furnaces, confirm SCAQMD district compliance before commissioning the gas furnace portion.
Key System Benefits
- Dual Fuel Efficiency: Automatically transitions between the 17.0 SEER2 / 8.0 HSPF2 heat pump and the 96% AFUE gas furnace at the programmed balance point, optimizing energy cost across all outdoor conditions from -10°F to 115°F.
- Variable-Speed Comfort: The GZV6S inverter-driven swing compressor and the furnace's variable-speed ECM blower work together to deliver precise temperature control and reduced temperature swings compared to single-speed systems.
- Lower-GWP Refrigerant: R-32 (GWP 675) reduces the system's direct environmental impact by approximately 68% compared to equivalent R-410A systems (GWP 2,088), aligning with EPA AIM Act phase-down requirements.
- Quiet Operation: The outdoor unit features a high-density compressor sound blanket, digitally commutated fan motor, and field-selectable Quiet Mode with up to three sound levels (as low as 45 dBA).
- All-Aluminum Indoor Coil: The CAPEA4830D3 evaporator coil features an all-aluminum construction optimized for R-32, eliminating galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals and improving long-term reliability.
- ComfortBridge™ Communicating: The GMVC961005CN furnace supports ComfortBridge™ technology with Bluetooth commissioning via the CoolCloud app, enabling diagnostic monitoring, auto-configuration, and two-wire connectivity to the outdoor unit.

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
