What is the SEER2 rating of the Goodman GZV9SA241CA?

The Goodman GZV9SA241CA is rated at up to 21.0 SEER2 and 12.2 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.0 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 43 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 16.9-21.0.

Is the Goodman GZV9SA241CA good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 24,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.40, so it is still 2.4 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Goodman GZV9SA241CA cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $523-$1,392 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $644 in Phoenix and $1,162 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Which indoor units work with the Goodman GZV9SA241CA?
