2.5 Ton Rheem Select 14.3 SEER2 R454B Two Stage Heat Pump System WP14AY30AJ2NA, RH2TY3617STANNJ
Sized for mid-size homes, this 2.5 ton Rheem Select system pairs the WP14AY30AJ2NA two-stage heat pump with the RH2TY3617STANNJ air handler, which keeps a slim 17.5" width. Rated 14.3 SEER2 under AHRI #214568798 on R-454B, it is a cost-conscious way to get two-stage comfort into homes where the indoor unit must fit a narrow closet and the outdoor unit needs to stay low-profile.
Is a 2.5 Ton Heat Pump System the Right Size?
Rheem's tested data lists 28,600 BTU/h of cooling and 28,000 BTU/h of heating at 47°F for this match, a good fit for three-bedroom houses and open single-story layouts that fall between 2 and 3 tons.
At this size, ductwork often limits performance more than the equipment. Leaky or undersized ducts can keep a 2.5 ton system from reaching its rated airflow, and large windows or vaulted ceilings can raise the load. A room-by-room load calculation confirms both the size and the duct design.
Ideal for: Three-bedroom homes, open single-story floor plans, and replacements where the air handler must stay in a 17.5" wide space.
Need more capacity? Step up to the 3 Ton Rheem Select 14.3 SEER2 R454B Two Stage Heat Pump System WP14AY36AJ2NA, RH2TY3617STANNJ, which uses the same air handler with a larger outdoor unit.
Recommended system sizes are general guidelines only. Actual heating and cooling requirements depend on insulation, climate, windows, ductwork, ceiling height, and occupancy. A Manual J load calculation is the best way to confirm sizing. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.
