System Components
- GZV9SA361C (GZV9SA361C*) — 3-Ton Variable-Speed, Inverter-Driven, Side-Discharge R-32 Heat Pump Condenser with dual variable-speed swing compressors, EEV metering, quiet-mode capability (as low as 45 dBA), and hot gas base pan defrost down to 5°F. 208-230V / 1 Phase / 60 Hz.
- AHVE60DP0300 — Multi-Positional Variable-Speed Air Handler, Multi-Positional configuration, 24½"W x 21"D, 1 HP VS-ECM blower motor. Variable-speed ECM blower, SmartFrame™ cabinet, internal EEV, and 21" depth for attic access. 115V operational voltage.
⚙ Pro-Installer Tip
[Technical Friction] The AHVE air handler's 21" depth is designed for attic and closet access, but vertical installations with 24½" cabinet width require verifying the return-air plenum clearance before setting the unit. The internal EEV eliminates a separate TXV/piston at the coil, but the communicating wire connection between the GZV9S condenser and AHVE air handler must be run as a dedicated 2-wire (not shared with other low-voltage circuits) for proper inverter communication.
[Long-Term Prevention] After startup, run the system for at least 15 minutes in cooling mode and verify subcooling at 11±1°F. The AHVE's variable-speed ECM blower will auto-adjust airflow, but confirm static pressure across the air handler stays below 0.5" w.c. to prevent blower ramp-up noise and premature motor wear. A clogged filter in the first year is the #1 cause of "noisy system" callbacks on variable-speed air handlers.
[Expert Validation] Use an R-32-compatible digital manifold and verify the AHVE's built-in R-32 sensor is operational during commissioning (LED status on control board). A calibrated flow hood at each supply register confirms the system is delivering rated CFM—critical for achieving the rated 19.0 SEER2.
[Professional Standard] EPA Section 608 certification is required for R-32 handling. The AHVE cabinet meets ASHRAE 193 air leakage standards (<2.0% at 1.0" w.c.), but field-installed ductwork connections must be sealed with UL 181-rated mastic to maintain system efficiency and comply with IECC 2021 duct leakage requirements.
Key Performance Benefits
- Cold Climate Heat Pump Certification: The GZV9S operates down to -20°F ambient, providing reliable heat pump heating in extreme cold without solely relying on auxiliary heat, reducing energy consumption in northern climates.
- Variable-Speed Inverter Efficiency: The swing compressor modulates capacity from approximately 25% to 100% (and boost mode), maintaining tighter temperature control (±0.5°F) and reducing on/off cycling compared to single-stage or two-stage systems.
- Quiet Operation: The GZV9S features three selectable quiet-mode levels with sound output as low as 45 dBA in quiet mode—comparable to a quiet library. Standard cooling mode measures approximately 59 dBA @ 5 ft (1 reflective surface).
- Low-GWP R-32 Refrigerant: R-32 has a Global Warming Potential of 675, approximately 68% lower than R-410A (GWP 2,088). This reduces the system's direct environmental impact while also improving thermodynamic efficiency due to R-32's higher volumetric capacity.
- Integrated Air Handler with EEV: The AHVE air handler includes a factory-installed electronic expansion valve optimized for R-32, variable-speed ECM blower for dehumidification control, and SmartFrame™ cabinet with <2% air leakage per ASHRAE 193.
- 21" Cabinet Depth: The AHVE's 21" depth fits through standard attic access openings without requiring cabinet disassembly, reducing installation time and material cost in retrofit applications.

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
