EcoTemp 2.5 Ton 15.2 SEER2 AC & 60K BTU High-Efficiency Gas Furnace – 17-1/2" Cabinet
At 2.5 tons (30,000 BTU), this EcoTemp gas system covers the middle of the residential range. The W5A5S30AKAWA R-454B condenser and W5AM30M17XA cased coil rate 15.2 SEER2 as an AHRI-matched set (AHRI 214966621). The WFSX060B048B condensing furnace delivers 58,000 BTU at up to 97.0% AFUE. All the indoor equipment fits a 17-1/2 in. width, so it works in the same closets, basements, and attics that hold most standard-width replacement furnaces. It suits many three-bedroom homes in the South and mid-Atlantic, where summer cooling needs are moderate to high and winters are cool but manageable.
Is a 2.5 Ton System with a 60K Furnace the Right Size?
A 2.5 ton air conditioner is commonly applied to homes of roughly 1,200 to 1,600 square feet, depending heavily on climate and construction. A 58,000 BTU heat output gives a reasonable balance for moderate winters without overshooting heat loss in a well-insulated home.
The 2.5 ton size is often where duct limits show up first. Older systems designed around 2 tons may restrict the roughly 1,000 CFM that 2.5 tons of cooling typically calls for. Have return and supply capacity checked along with the Manual J load. Window area, attic insulation, and duct location in unconditioned space can each move the result a half-ton either way.
Ideal for: Three-bedroom homes, split-level and ranch houses in mixed climates, and replacements where a 17-1/2 in. furnace and a 2.5 ton AC are already in place.
Need more capacity? For more winter heat at the same tonnage, see the EcoTemp 2.5 Ton 80K BTU Gas System (WFSX080B048B).
Recommended applications are general guidelines only. Actual system requirements depend on insulation, ductwork, climate, elevation, and a proper load calculation. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
What line set sizes fit the 2.5 ton W5A5S30AKAWA?
The rated line sizes are 3/4 in. vapor and 3/8 in. liquid, matching the condenser's 3/4 in. vapor service valve. See the vapor line sizing table in the W5A5S specifications for long or nonstandard runs.
How far apart can the condenser and furnace be installed?
The W5A5S supports up to 250 ft of total equivalent line length, with limits on vertical separation. Runs over 80 ft, or with more than 35 ft of vertical separation, count as long-line applications and require the accessories in the Long Line Guideline.
What subcooling should the installer charge the 2.5 ton system to?
The W5A5S specifications list a 6°F required subcooling for the 2.5 ton size with a TXV indoor coil. Final charge should follow the installation instructions.
How much refrigerant ships in the W5A5S30AKAWA?
It ships with 5.5 lb of R-454B, enough for a 15 ft line set with a 3/8 in. liquid line. Longer runs require a charge adjustment per the manufacturer's chart.
Does a condensing furnace need a condensate drain?
Yes. High-efficiency furnaces like the WFSX produce condensate that must be piped to an approved drain. The W5AM coil also needs its own drain. Follow the installation instructions and local code for trapping and any required neutralizer.
What cooling airflow can the WFSX060B048B deliver?
Its constant-torque ECM blower covers 315 to 1,580 CFM in cooling at rated static pressure, which handles the airflow a 2.5 ton system needs.
