2 Ton Goodman GZV9SA241C, AHVE48CP1300 19.2 SEER2 R-32 Inverter Heat Pump System
This complete 2-ton (24,000 BTU/h) Goodman inverter heat pump system pairs the GZV9SA241C side-discharge condenser with the AHVE48CP1300 variable-speed communicating air handler for quiet, high-efficiency, year-round comfort. Rated at 19.2 SEER2 on next-generation R-32 refrigerant, the matched pair modulates both compressor and blower speed to hold steady temperatures, control humidity, and deliver dependable heat-pump warmth in cold weather — a factory-matched package ready to install.
Is a 2-Ton System the Right Size?
As the entry capacity in the GZV9S inverter lineup, this 2-ton system is typically specified for smaller homes, condos, townhomes, additions, and well-insulated spaces with a light-to-moderate load. Because both the condenser and air handler are variable-speed, the system can ramp down to a fraction of its rated output, so it holds tight, even temperatures where a single-stage system would short-cycle.
Right-sizing depends on far more than floor area — insulation, window area, ceiling height, duct design, air infiltration, and climate all shape the true load, which is why a Manual J calculation is the correct way to confirm capacity.
Ideal for: smaller single-family homes, condos, townhouses, and tightly sealed modern construction with a light-to-moderate load.

Recommended Thermostat: Daikin One Touch
This system supports two Goodman-approved communicating thermostats. We recommend the Daikin One Touch Smart Thermostat (DTST-TOU-A) — its interface is nicer to use and it works better with the inverter system day to day. The Goodman GTST Connected Thermostat (GTST-CW-WH-A) remains available as the standard option.

Frequently Asked Questions
What comes in the 2-ton GZV9SA241C and AHVE48CP1300 system?
You receive the GZV9SA241C outdoor inverter condenser and the AHVE48CP1300 variable-speed communicating air handler as an AHRI-matched R-32 pair. Refrigerant lines, a thermostat, and any electric heat kit are selected separately.
Why is this 2-ton system rated 19.2 SEER2?
The 19.2 SEER2 rating reflects this specific condenser-and-air-handler combination. Matching the GZV9SA241C with the AHVE48CP1300 variable-speed air handler is what achieves that efficiency number.
Which thermostat should I choose for this system?
We recommend the Daikin One Touch DTST-TOU-A for its nicer interface and smoother day-to-day performance with the inverter equipment. The Goodman GTST-CW-WH-A is the standard alternative.
Can I add electric backup heat to the AHVE48CP1300 air handler?
Yes. The air handler accepts a field-installed electric heat kit from 3kW up to 25kW for supplemental or emergency heat, sized to your home and electrical service.
Does the air handler detect R-32 refrigerant leaks?
Yes. The AHVE48CP1300 includes a factory-installed A2L refrigerant sensor designed to last the life of the coil, part of the system's built-in safety for R-32.
