What is the SEER2 rating of the Goodman GZV6SA1810A?

The Goodman GZV6SA1810A is rated at up to 19.0 SEER2 and 12.0 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 73 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 16.0-19.0.

Is the Goodman GZV6SA1810A good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 13,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.10, so it is still 2.1 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Goodman GZV6SA1810A cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $421-$1,190 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $528 in Phoenix and $1,001 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Is the Goodman GZV6SA1810A the same as the Amana AZV6SA1810A?

Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists both 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 Goodman GZV6SA1810A?

ENERGY STAR lists 73 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use AHVE24BP1300A, AHVE24BP0300A, CA*EA2418*3A.

Questions6

What is the SEER2 rating of the Goodman GZV6SA1810A?: The Goodman GZV6SA1810A is rated at up to 19.0 SEER2 and 12.0 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 73 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 16.0-19.0.
Is the Goodman GZV6SA1810A good for cold climates?: Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 13,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.10, so it is still 2.1 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
How much does the Goodman GZV6SA1810A cost to run per year?: At its rated efficiency it costs about $421-$1,190 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $528 in Phoenix and $1,001 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
Is the Goodman GZV6SA1810A the same as the Amana AZV6SA1810A?: Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists both 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 Goodman GZV6SA1810A?: ENERGY STAR lists 73 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use AHVE24BP1300A, AHVE24BP0300A, CA*EA2418*3A.
What refrigerant does the Goodman GZV6SA1810A use?: It uses R-32.
