The Goodman 17.2 SEER2 GSZC7 Two-Stage Heat Pump is a highly efficient heat pump designed to the 2023 and beyond SEER2 standards. This unit will help reduce energy consumption throughout the life of the system for both heating and cooling and operates at a reduced sound level relative to the GSZC16/GSZC18 series it replaces. If you have an all electric heating system and aren't currently using a heat pump then you could easily save 30-50% on your heating bills if you switch to a heat pump system. If you are using fossil fuels for heat such as propane or fuel oil, replacing your AC system with a heat pump can, in most cases, greatly reduce your heating bills. 

This is a communicating piece of equipment and to achieve full efficiency and functionality it must be paired with a Goodman communicating furnace, air handler, or modular blower with evaporator coil. If pairing this with an alternate indoor unit you must verify that the indoor unit is compatible with a two-stage cooling system.

Heat pumps such as the GSZC7 require a backup heat source for extreme cold temperatures. That back up heat source is usually an electric heater coil in the air handler. If you are using a natural gas or LP furnace as a backup heat source, when installed correctly the communication between the indoor unit and heat pump will automatically turn off the heat pump and turn on the gas or LP furnace to handle the heating load when the outdoor temperature is too low for the heat pump to maintain the desired indoor temperature.

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.
