Direct Comfort by Goodman DC-GSZ16 heat pumps rely on a quiet condenser fan system - a three-bladed fan and a unique louvered sound-control top - to reduce fan-related noise. With its 14 to 16 SEER rating, the Direct Comfort 1.5 Ton 16 SEER DC-GSZ160181 Air Conditioner Heat Pump will help reduce energy consumption throughout the life of the system. Direct Comfort by Goodman Air Conditioners has become one of the largest manufacturers of residential and light commercial air conditioning, heating, and indoor air quality products and systems by focusing on just one thing, building the most reliable and refreshingly affordable indoor comfort products in the market. 

In order to achieve the full efficiency and maximize it's performance this unit must be paired with the proper air handler, modular blower and evaporator coil, or furnace and evaporator coil.

Heat Pumps such as the DC-GSZ16 require a backup heat source for extreme cold temperatures.  If you will be using a gas, LP or oil furnace as a backup heat source, you will need to install a heat pump compatible thermostat such as the Honeywell TH8321WF1001 or TH6320WF2003 that can switch between the two heat sources as needed and prevent both the heat pump and backup heat from running at the same time.

Please note that this heat pump equipment comes pre-charged with R-410A liquid refrigerant and by Federal law cannot be released to the atmosphere. Yes, you can purchase this equipment without being EPA certified. And, if you are mechanically inclined you may perform about 90% of the equipment installation yourself. However, we strongly recommend to have a professional heating/cooling contractor do the final part of the installation including managing the refrigerant. An HVAC contractor has the tools and know-how to do this work. Also, having a contractor perform the final startup and inspection of this heat pump validates your warranty with Alpine.
