A good fit if…

  • Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 33,600 BTU/h at 5°F.
  • You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.
  • You want a choice of indoor units - 62 certified pairings.

Think twice if…

  • Nothing stands out - its ratings have no weak spot for its class.

Questions6
What is the SEER2 rating of the Daikin DH7VSA4810A?
The Daikin DH7VSA4810A is rated at up to 17.5 SEER2 and 10.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 8.8 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 62 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 16.2-17.5.
Is the Daikin DH7VSA4810A good for cold climates?
Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 33,600 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.00, so it is still 2.0 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
How much does the Daikin DH7VSA4810A cost to run per year?
At its rated efficiency it costs about $1,223-$3,324 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,515 in Phoenix and $2,783 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
Is the Daikin DH7VSA4810A the same as the Goodman GZV7SA4810A?
Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists 3 model numbers with identical efficiency, capacity and matchups, which means the same outdoor unit sold under a different brand or with a minor variant code (voltage, colour or region). The full list is on this page.
Which indoor units work with the Daikin DH7VSA4810A?
ENERGY STAR lists 62 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use DFVE60DP1300A, DFVE60DP0300A, CA*EA6030*3A*+MBVK20DP1X00A.
What refrigerant does the Daikin DH7VSA4810A use?
It uses R-32.

Estimates use the unit's rated SEER2 and HSPF2, full-load hours derived from NOAA 1991-2020 degree days, average residential electricity prices from the U.S. EIA (12 months to July 2026) and fuel prices from EIA (2025 for natural gas, week of 2026-10-05 for propane and heating oil). Very cold days that need backup heat are not modelled. Federal minimum for comparison: 14.3 SEER2 / 7.5 HSPF2.
