5 Ton Goodman GZV9SA6010, AHVE60DP1300 18 SEER2 R-32 Inverter Heat Pump System
This complete, top-capacity 5-ton (60,000 BTU/h) Goodman inverter system pairs the GZV9SA6010 side-discharge condenser with the AHVE60DP1300 variable-speed communicating air handler for whole-home comfort in the largest houses. Rated 18 SEER2 on R-32 refrigerant, the matched package delivers maximum output when demand peaks and quietly scales back the rest of the time, with dependable heat-pump heating even in cold weather.
Is a 5-Ton System the Right Size?
The 5-ton GZV9SA6010 system is the maximum residential capacity in this line, reserved for large or two-story homes, sprawling single-level floor plans, and properties with high ceilings or significant heat gain. A variable-speed platform is what makes this much capacity practical: it can deliver full output on the most extreme days, then throttle down to avoid the short-cycling and uneven temperatures of oversized single-stage systems. The AHVE60DP1300 air handler provides the high airflow a system this size demands.
Capacity this large should never be chosen by square footage alone. Only a Manual J load calculation weighing insulation, window area, duct capacity, ceiling height, and climate can confirm a 5-ton system is genuinely required rather than oversized.
Ideal for: large or two-story homes, expansive open floor plans, and high-load properties needing maximum whole-home capacity.

Recommended Thermostat: Daikin One Touch
To get the most from this top-capacity system, we recommend the Daikin One Touch Smart Thermostat (DTST-TOU-A) — a nicer, more capable control that works better with the inverter equipment than the standard option. The Goodman GTST Connected Thermostat (GTST-CW-WH-A) is available as the standard choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 5-ton GZV9SA6010 system large enough for a big or two-story home?
The 5-ton is the maximum capacity in the GZV9S line and is intended for large or two-story homes and high-load properties. Confirm the requirement with a Manual J calculation so the system is not oversized.
How does this 5-ton system differ from the 4-ton version?
Both use the same AHVE60DP1300 air handler and inverter platform, but the 5-ton GZV9SA6010 condenser delivers a higher 60,000 BTU/h output for the largest homes, while the 4-ton is sized for large-but-not-maximum loads.
Why does a variable-speed 5-ton stay efficient at such a large capacity?
Rather than running at full power and cycling off, the inverter compressor and variable-speed blower operate at lower speeds during partial loads, which keeps the 18 SEER2 / up to 9.0 HSPF2 efficiency working for you most of the time.
Does the system include a refrigerant leak sensor for R-32?
Yes. The AHVE60DP1300 air handler has a factory-installed A2L refrigerant sensor designed to last the life of the coil, providing built-in safety monitoring for the R-32 charge.
Which thermostat is best for this top-capacity system?
We recommend the Daikin One Touch DTST-TOU-A over the standard Goodman GTST-CW-WH-A — it is the nicer control and works better with the inverter system, which is especially valuable on a large, long-cycling installation.
