2 Ton

A 2-ton outdoor condenser delivers roughly 24,000 BTU/hr of cooling capacity. Choose from SEER2 14.3, 15.2, 17.2, and 18 to meet code, manage energy costs, and fit your budget. Options include cool-only models that pair with air handlers equipped with electric heat kits.

Designed for homeowners, DIY-capable buyers, licensed contractors, property managers, and light commercial spaces, these units can be matched to an existing air handler or coil when refrigerant, metering device (TXV/orifice), capacity, and airflow align. Always verify an AHRI-rated match for performance and warranty compliance.

Select the refrigerant that best suits your project: R-410A remains widely supported; R-32 and R-454B are lower-GWP A2L refrigerants used in many new systems. Confirm line set size and indoor coil rating are compatible with the chosen refrigerant and pressures. Professional installation is required for pressure testing, evacuation, charging, and startup.

With inventory on hand and price points from $1,390 to $6,418, you can move quickly-whether you’re replacing a failed 2-ton outdoor unit or planning a proactive SEER2 upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What SEER2 ratings are available for 2-ton condensers?

    Choose from 14.3, 15.2, 17.2, and 18 SEER2 models. Higher ratings improve seasonal efficiency and may qualify for incentives; verify local utility program requirements.

  • How do I choose between R-32, R-410A, and R-454B refrigerants?

    Match the refrigerant to your indoor coil and line set. R-410A is common; R-32 and R-454B offer lower GWP. A2L models require compatible components and handling.

  • Are these 2-ton condensers compatible with my existing air handler or coil?

    Yes when refrigerant, 2-ton (24,000 BTU) capacity, metering device, and airflow match, and when an AHRI-rated combination exists. Replace the filter drier and update the TXV if needed.

  • Is professional installation required for charging and startup of these condensers?

    Yes. EPA Section 608 certification is required to handle refrigerant. A pro will pressure test, evacuate, charge by weight/subcooling, and verify superheat, subcooling, and amperage.

  • Can cool-only with electric heat units be used to replace a heat pump?

    They can if converting to AC-only and your air handler has heat strips. You’ll lose heat pump heating and must adjust thermostat settings and wiring.

  • What brand differences exist between Goodman, Rheem, and EcoTemp?

    Goodman emphasizes value and serviceability; Rheem focuses on premium efficiency and quiet; EcoTemp offers budget-friendly basics. All meet current SEER2 standards.

  • What line set or accessories are needed to install a new 2-ton condenser?

    Typical installs use 3/4 in. suction and 3/8 in. liquid (verify manufacturer). Include a liquid-line filter drier, pad, disconnect, whip, and properly sized breaker.

  • How does SEER2 efficiency affect operating cost for a 2-ton system?

    15.2 vs 14.3 SEER2 can save about 5-7%; 17.2 about 15-20%; 18 up to 20-25%, depending on climate, runtime, and system setup.

  • What voltage do these 2-ton condensers require?

    Most residential 2-ton units are 208/230V single-phase. Always confirm nameplate voltage, MCA, and MOCP to size wiring and overcurrent protection correctly.

  • What warranty coverage is typical?

    Coverage varies by brand and model, but many offer up to 10-year parts with registration for residential use. Labor is not included; follow install and registration rules.
