2 Ton Goodman GZV9SA241C 19 SEER2 R-32 Side Discharge Heat Pump Condenser
The Goodman GZV9SA241C is a 2-ton (24,000 BTU/h) variable-speed inverter heat pump condenser built for homeowners who want quiet, efficient, year-round comfort in a right-sized system. Running on next-generation R-32 refrigerant and rated at 19 SEER2, this slim side-discharge outdoor unit modulates its output to match demand instead of cycling on and off, delivering steady temperatures, quieter operation, and dependable heating in cold weather.
Is a 2-Ton Heat Pump the Right Size?
A 2-ton condenser is the smallest capacity in the GZV9S side-discharge line and is typically specified for smaller homes, condos, townhomes, additions, and well-insulated spaces with a modest cooling and heating load. Because it is inverter-driven, the GZV9SA241C can throttle down to a fraction of its rated capacity, so it excels at holding a tight, even temperature in the kind of homes where a single-stage unit would short-cycle.
Correct sizing depends on far more than square footage. Insulation levels, window area and orientation, ceiling height, local climate, ductwork, and air infiltration all shape the true load, which is why a Manual J load calculation is the right way to confirm capacity before you buy.
Ideal for: smaller single-family homes, condos, townhouses, room additions, and tightly sealed modern construction with a light-to-moderate load.
Need more capacity? Step up to the 3 Ton Goodman GZV9SA361C heat pump condenser for mid-size homes that need additional cooling and heating output.
Recommended applications are general guidelines only. Actual capacity requirements depend on insulation, climate, window load, ductwork, and air infiltration. Use our AC tonnage & BTU calculator, request free sizing assistance, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size home is the GZV9SA241C 2-ton heat pump best suited for?
The 2-ton GZV9SA241C is the entry capacity in the GZV9S line and is typically chosen for smaller homes, condos, townhomes, additions, and well-insulated spaces with a light-to-moderate load. A Manual J load calculation is the best way to confirm it fits your home.
How quiet is the GZV9SA241C during operation?
Thanks to its variable-speed inverter compressor, the unit can run at low speeds and operate as low as 45 dBA in quiet mode, making it a strong choice for tight lots or installations near bedrooms and patios.
Does the 2-ton GZV9SA241C use the newer R-32 refrigerant?
Yes. It is charged with R-32, a next-generation refrigerant with a lower global warming potential than R-410A and efficient heat-transfer characteristics.
Will the GZV9SA241C provide heat in cold winter weather?
Yes. As an inverter heat pump it is approved for heating operation down to -20°F, so it can serve as a primary heat source in many climates without a supplemental kit.
What indoor equipment is the GZV9SA241C designed to pair with?
It must be AHRI-matched with a compatible Goodman R-32 EEV-equipped indoor coil or air handler and controlled by a Goodman approved communicating thermostat. The tested combination uses a CAHEA3630 coil or MBVK16 air handler.
