FULL MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY APPLIES2.5 Ton Rheem Select 15.2 SEER2 R454B Small Footprint Central AC System
WSA14AY30AJ1NA, RH2TY3617STANNJ
This is the largest size in Rheem's Endeavor® Line Select™ Series iC small footprint lineup. The WSA14AY30AJ1NA condenser delivers 30,000 BTU/h from a 27.63" x 27.63" base, and it's the quietest WSA14AY at 74 dBA. It's matched with the RH2TY3617STANNJ two-stage-airflow air handler and AHRI certified at 15.2 SEER2 (#216769316). It uses low-GWP R-454B with Rheem's PlusOne® Refrigerant Detection System™. It's cooling only, with optional Rheem electric heat strips.
Is a 2.5 Ton Air Conditioning System the Right Size?
A 2.5 ton system provides 30,000 BTU/h of nominal cooling. It's commonly used in 2- to 3-bedroom homes around 1,200–1,500 sq. ft. as a rough guide, though climate and construction shift that range a lot.
Large west-facing windows, vaulted ceilings and leaky attic ducts can push a home toward 3 tons, while a tight, well-insulated home may need less. A Manual J load calculation gives a reliable answer before you buy.
Ideal for: 2- to 3-bedroom homes, townhomes and infill houses with narrow side yards or small pads.
Need more capacity? For more capacity, see the 3 Ton Rheem Select 15.2 SEER2 R454B Central System WA14AY36AJ1NA, RH2TY3617STANNJ, which uses the same air handler in a standard-size condenser.
Recommended home sizes are general guidelines only. Actual system requirements depend on insulation, climate, windows, ductwork, occupancy and a proper load calculation. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the 2.5 ton WSA14AY30 cabinet wider than the smaller sizes?
The WSA14AY30AJ1NA uses a larger coil and a 22" fan, so its base grows to 27.63" x 27.63" from 23.63" on the 1.5 and 2 ton. All three share the same 32.25" height.
Why is the WSA14AY30 condenser labeled 14.3 SEER2 when this system is 15.2?
The "14" in the model number reflects the condenser's 14.3 SEER2 rating with Rheem's reference coil. Matched with the RH2TY3617STANNJ air handler, the system is AHRI certified at 15.2 SEER2 (#216769316).
Is the 2.5 ton the quietest WSA14AY condenser?
Yes. Rheem rates the WSA14AY30 at 74 dBA, compared with 76 dBA for the 1.5 and 2 ton models. Its larger, slower 825 RPM fan helps lower sound.
Can I buy the WSA14AY30AJ1NA condenser by itself?
Yes. The 2.5 ton Rheem Select WSA14AY30AJ1NA small footprint condenser is available on its own if you already have a compatible matched indoor section.
How does this compare to the standard 2.5 ton Rheem Select system?
The WA14AY30AJ1NA, RH2TY3617STANNJ system uses the same air handler with a standard-size condenser. Choose the WSA14AY30 when pad space or side-yard width is limited.
Which RXBH heat strips are offered with this 2.5 ton system?
We offer 5 kW (RXBH-1724B05J), 8 kW (RXBH-1724B07J) and 10 kW (RXBH-1724B10J) heat strips for the RH2TY3617STANNJ with this package.
