2.5 Ton EcoTemp 15.2 SEER2 R454B Heat Pump Wall Mount Apartment/Condo Type System W5H5S30AKAAA, FMA5X3000AL
This 30,000 BTU EcoTemp system pairs the W5H5S30AKAAA, the quietest heat pump in the W5H5S family at 70 dBA, with the FMA5X3000AL wall-hung fan coil and its 1/2 HP ECM blower. The match earns an AHRI-certified 15.2 SEER2 rating (AHRI #214424194) on R-454B refrigerant. It is a strong choice for larger two-bedroom condos and apartments where residents notice noise and the owner wants better efficiency than a PSC system offers, with fine-tunable airflow across five blower speeds.
Is a 2.5 Ton Heat Pump System the Right Size?
This size fits heating and cooling loads near 30,000 BTU per hour. In multifamily buildings, that usually means larger two-bedroom units, open living and dining layouts, or homes with a lot of west- or south-facing glass. These are cases where a 2 ton system cannot keep up on peak days.
The ECM blower helps the system move the right amount of air for the duct layout, but the capacity still has to match the load. Before ordering, weigh insulation levels, ceiling height, floor position and occupancy, and check the size with the heat pump sizing calculator.
Ideal for: Larger two-bedroom condos, open-plan apartments, noise-sensitive buildings and efficiency upgrades from existing 2.5 ton wall-hung systems.
Need more capacity? Step up to the 3 Ton EcoTemp 15.5 SEER2 R454B Heat Pump Wall Mount System W5H5S36AKAAA, FMA5X3600AL, which uses the same 22" ECM cabinet.
Recommended system sizes are general guidelines only. Actual requirements depend on climate, insulation, unit location within the building, window exposure, occupancy, and installation conditions. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who should consider a 2.5 ton ECM wall-hung heat pump?
Owners of larger two-bedroom condos and apartments with a load near 30,000 BTU who want higher efficiency and quieter operation. The ECM blower and the 70 dBA outdoor unit make this pairing a good fit for noise-sensitive buildings.
What's the difference between the 2 ton and 2.5 ton FMA5X systems?
The 2.5 ton FMA5X3000AL uses a larger 22" cabinet, a 1/2 HP ECM motor and a 20" x 20" filter. The 2 ton FMA5X2400AL system uses a 20-1/2" cabinet with a 1/3 HP motor. The 2 ton pairing is rated 15.5 SEER2, and this 2.5 ton pairing is rated 15.2 SEER2.
What size refrigerant connections does the FMA5X3000AL have?
The FMA5X3000AL has 3/4" suction and 3/8" liquid sweat connections. These match the W5H5S30AKAAA's 3/4" vapor and 3/8" liquid valves, so a standard 3/4" x 3/8" line set connects the system.
Does the FMA5X3000AL bring in fresh air?
The cabinet includes fresh air intake knockouts, so a ventilation air connection can be added where building codes or designs call for one. Fresh air ducting is field-supplied and should be designed for the specific building.
How is the FMA5X3000AL serviced once it's installed?
All service access is at the front of the cabinet, so technicians can reach the blower, coil and controls without pulling the unit off the wall. The motor sits on rubber grommets, and the drain access panel is in the bottom.
Can I buy the W5H5S30AKAAA heat pump or FMA5X3000AL fan coil separately?
Yes. The W5H5S30AKAAA heat pump condenser and the FMA5X3000AL fan coil are each sold individually. Buying the matched system makes sure you get the AHRI-certified 15.2 SEER2 combination.
