2 Ton EcoTemp 14.5 SEER2 R454B Heat Pump Wall Mount Apartment/Condo Type System W5H5S24AKAAA, FMA5L2400AL
The EcoTemp W5H5S24AKAAA and FMA5L2400AL make up a matched 24,000 BTU heat pump system for multifamily closets. It carries an AHRI-certified 14.5 SEER2 rating (AHRI #214424002) and runs on low-GWP R-454B. It is the middle size many apartment and condo units are built around: enough capacity for a typical one- or two-bedroom layout, in the same slim 20-1/2" wall-hung cabinet as the 1.5 ton. For landlords and maintenance teams handling turnovers, it offers dependable heating and cooling, a simple PSC blower and front-access service.
Is a 2 Ton Heat Pump System the Right Size?
A 2 ton system fits units whose combined heating and cooling load lands near 24,000 BTU per hour. Building owners often pick this size when a 1.5 ton unit runs constantly on hot afternoons, but a 2.5 ton would short-cycle and leave the space clammy. In apartments, sizing has as much to do with the unit's position in the building as with floor area.
An end unit with three exposed walls and west-facing glass can need noticeably more capacity than an interior unit of the same size. Occupancy, cooking loads, insulation quality and ceiling height matter too. The HVAC sizing calculator is a quick way to check whether 2 tons matches your load.
Ideal for: One-bedroom and smaller two-bedroom apartments, mid-size condos, townhome-style rental units and replacement of existing 2 ton wall-hung fan coil systems.
Need more capacity? Step up to the 2.5 Ton EcoTemp 14.3 SEER2 R454B Heat Pump Wall Mount System W5H5S30AKAAA, FMA5L3000AL for larger units or high-exposure floor plans.
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.

The W5H5S24AKAAA heat pump has a 3,500 CFM vertical-discharge fan and a 19.3 sq. ft. outdoor coil, and it is rated at 71 dBA. The FMA5L2400AL uses the same compact 36-1/2" x 20-1/2" x 15" cabinet as the 1.5 ton model but steps up to a 1/5 HP PSC blower rated at 800 CFM nominal. That lets you upsize the system without reframing an existing closet. Add backup heat with a 5, 7.5 or 10 kW breakered heat kit from the options on this page. For a 2 ton install, 3/4" x 3/8" is an acceptable line size, for example a 25 ft. 3/4 & 3/8 copper line set.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm a 2 ton heat pump is right for my condo unit?
Start with a load estimate that accounts for your unit's exposed walls, windows, floor level and insulation. If the result is near 24,000 BTU, the W5H5S24AKAAA / FMA5L2400AL is a good match. Our team can help with free sizing if you send the unit details.
What changes when stepping up from the 1.5 ton to the 2 ton W5H5S24AKAAA system?
The fan coil cabinet stays the same size, but the FMA5L2400AL's 1/5 HP blower moves 800 CFM nominal versus 650 CFM on the 1.5 ton. Outdoors, the W5H5S24AKAAA has a larger coil and a 3,500 CFM fan. This pairing is also rated slightly higher, at 14.5 SEER2 compared with 14.3 SEER2 for the 1.5 ton W5H5S18AKAAA system.
What breaker size does the W5H5S24AKAAA outdoor unit require?
The W5H5S24AKAAA lists a minimum circuit ampacity of 13.5 amps and a maximum time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of 20 amps at 208/230V single phase. The fan coil, plus any electric heat kit, is wired on its own circuit. Size it from the fan coil and heater data.
Which electric heat strips are available for the FMA5L2400AL?
The FMA5L2400AL accepts circuit-breaker-protected electric heaters in 5, 7.5 or 10 kW. On this page they're listed as EHK205B, EHK208B and EHK210B. Larger kits give more backup and emergency heat in colder weather.
How loud is the W5H5S24AKAAA heat pump outdoors?
The W5H5S24AKAAA has a standard sound power rating of 71 dBA. With the optional accessory sound blanket it drops to 68 dBA, which helps where units sit close to balconies, patios or neighboring windows.
Why is R-454B used in this 2 ton EcoTemp system instead of R-410A?
R-454B is a non-ozone-depleting refrigerant with much lower global warming potential, and it meets current requirements for new residential heating and cooling equipment. Because it is an A2L refrigerant, the FMA5L2400AL fan coil includes a refrigerant leak detection system.
