This Goodman 4 Ton 18.0 SEER2 Central Heat Pump Split System combines the GZV9SA4810 variable-speed inverter-driven heat pump condenser with the AHVE60DP0300 multi-position air handler for all-electric heating and cooling using R-32 refrigerant. The system delivers up to 18.0 SEER2 / 11.7 EER2 in cooling and 9.0 HSPF2 in heating, with the air handler's variable-speed ECM motor providing precise comfort control. AHRI Certificate Number: 217989203. Energy Star Cold Climate Certified.

System Components
- GZV9SA4810 — Goodman 4 Ton Variable-Speed Inverter-Driven R-32 Heat Pump Condenser (Side Discharge). Max Cooling: 46,000 BTU/h; Max Heating @47°F: 48,000 BTU/h. EEV metering, 208-230V / 1 Phase / 60 Hz.
- AHVE60DP0300 — Goodman 5 Ton Multi-Position Variable-Speed ECM Air Handler with EEV. Multi-Positional configuration, 115V, 1 HP ECM motor, all-aluminum coil with factory-installed EEV. Cabinet: 24½" W x 21" D x 58" H.
Pro-Installer Tip: Air Handler Commissioning & Static Pressure Verification
The Technical Friction: The AHVE air handler's 21" depth allows attic installations where traditional 24½" units cannot fit, but the supply plenum transition must be carefully sealed. The GZV9S condenser requires ⅞" to 1⅛" suction line adapters at the service valve — these are field-supplied.
The Long-Term Prevention: After commissioning, verify total external static pressure stays below 0.5" w.c. at the rated CFM. Elevated static due to undersized ductwork or restrictive filter grilles will force the ECM motor to ramp harder, increasing power consumption and potentially triggering nuisance high-pressure faults within the first 6–12 months.
The Expert Validation: Use a digital manometer to measure static at both supply and return plenums. Commission the system via the CoolCloud™ app to confirm airflow CFM, EEV position, and superheat/subcooling targets are within spec.
The Professional Standard: R-32 (A2L classification) requires EPA Section 608 certification and compliance with ASHRAE 15 for charge limits. The factory-installed R-32 sensor in the air handler monitors for leaks. GWP of 675 supports current EPA AIM Act phase-down compliance.
Key Benefits
- Variable-Speed Inverter Efficiency: The GZV9S condenser modulates compressor speed to match real-time load, achieving up to 18.0 SEER2 in this configuration — reducing energy consumption compared to fixed-speed systems while maintaining tighter temperature control.
- Cold Climate Heat Pump Performance: With max heating capacity of 48,000 BTU/h at 47°F and operational down to -20°F ambient, this system qualifies as Energy Star Cold Climate Certified, extending efficient heat pump operation deeper into the heating season.
- R-32 Refrigerant (Low GWP): R-32 carries a Global Warming Potential of 675 — approximately 68% lower than R-410A (GWP 2088). This supports EPA AIM Act compliance and may help qualify for IRA/25C federal tax credits for eligible high-efficiency equipment.
- All-Electric Comfort with Variable-Speed Air Handler: The AHVE air handler's ECM motor adjusts airflow incrementally for precise humidity control and quiet operation, with auto-comfort and dehumidification modes available.
- Quiet Operation: The GZV9S outdoor unit operates at 77 dBA in normal cooling mode (4-ton) and offers a selectable Quiet Mode with up to 3 sound levels (as low as 45 dBA for the GZV9S platform), minimizing neighborhood noise impact.
