Description
The Goodman 2 Ton 17.2 SEER2 8.1 HSPF2 97% AFUE 60,000 BTU Hybrid Dual Fuel Heat Pump & Gas Furnace Split System Upflow R-32 (GLZT7CA2410 / GRVM970603BN / CAPTA3026B3) is a complete dual fuel heating and cooling system that pairs an electric heat pump with a gas furnace. This AHRI-matched system combines a 2-ton R-32 heat pump, 97% AFUE modulating gas furnace, and cased evaporator coil so the heat pump handles cooling and mild-weather heating, while the furnace takes over when outdoor temperatures drop.
Designed for upflow installation, the system uses the furnace's variable-speed ECM blower motor to move air for both the heat pump and the gas burners. With a dual-fuel thermostat or outdoor temperature control, the system switches to gas heat below a set balance point, which keeps homes comfortable in cold snaps and lets you choose the more economical fuel for your local utility rates.

Compatibility & Installation Notes
The GLZT7CA2410 / GRVM970603BN / CAPTA3026B3 system is AHRI certified under reference number 216617578 and is designed for residential upflow applications. Compatibility with the property's ductwork, electrical service, gas supply, refrigerant lines, condensate drainage, and furnace venting must be confirmed before installation. The communicating GLZT7CA2410 heat pump and GRVM970603BN furnace connect over the two communication wires, and the furnace control manages dual fuel switchover on its own, so a standard single-stage 24 VAC thermostat is all you need. No separate dual fuel kit is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in this Goodman HVAC system?
The package includes the GLZT7CA2410 heat pump, GRVM970603BN gas furnace, and CAPTA3026B3 cased evaporator coil.
How does a dual fuel system work?
The heat pump cools in summer and heats in mild weather. When the outdoor temperature falls below the balance point set on the thermostat, the gas furnace takes over heating, so the system always runs on the more effective heat source.
What is the heating rating of the heat pump?
This matched system is rated at 8.1 HSPF2, with 23,600 BTU/h of heat pump heating at 47°F.
What is the cooling capacity of this system?
The system provides 2 tons with an AHRI-rated 23,800 BTU/h of cooling.
Is the furnace single-stage or two-stage?
The Goodman GRVM970603BN is a modulating gas furnace.
What does 97% AFUE mean?
It means approximately 97% of the furnace's fuel is converted into usable heating energy.
Does this system use R-32 refrigerant?
Yes. The heat pump and evaporator coil are designed for R-32 refrigerant.
