EcoTemp 2 Ton 16 SEER2 Air Conditioner & 60,000 BTU 97% AFUE Furnace System – 17-1/2" Cabinet
This matched system has the highest efficiency ratings in the EcoTemp WFSX gas line. The W5A5S24AKAWA 2 ton condenser and W5AM24M17XA cased coil rate 16 SEER2 under AHRI 214915403. The WFSX060B048B condensing furnace reaches 97.0% AFUE upflow or horizontal and meets ENERGY STAR 5.0 North criteria in those positions. With 58,000 BTU of delivered heat in a 17-1/2 in. cabinet, it's a strong choice for owners of mid-size homes who want lower energy bills in both seasons from a single-stage system with R-454B refrigerant.
Is a 2 Ton, 60K BTU Gas System the Right Size?
A 2 ton cooling load is typical of homes from roughly 900 to 1,300 square feet, and 58,000 BTU of heat fits a wide range of mixed and moderately cold climates. Across the country, this combination covers many two- and three-bedroom homes, especially where the existing furnace is already a 17-1/2 in. cabinet and the ductwork is sized for about 800 CFM of cooling airflow.
Duct condition matters as much as tonnage. Undersized or leaky returns raise static pressure and can erase efficiency gains. The furnace is rated for cooling at 0.50 in. w.c. external static pressure. Insulation, window area, and local design temperatures set the final load, and a Manual J calculation keeps both the cooling and heating sides properly sized.
Ideal for: Two- and three-bedroom homes in mixed climates, efficiency-focused replacements, rental upgrades where operating cost matters, and homes switching a 17-1/2 in. furnace like-for-like.
Need more capacity? For colder winters, step up to the EcoTemp 2 Ton 16 SEER2 80K BTU Gas System with the same cooling rating and more heat.
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
Why does this 2 ton system rate 16 SEER2 when the 40K version rates 15.5?
SEER2 is certified for the complete matched system, not the condenser alone. With the 17-1/2 in. W5AM24M17XA coil and WFSX060B048B furnace, the same W5A5S24AKAWA condenser is AHRI-certified at 16 SEER2.
How does the furnace's AFUE change with installation position?
The WFSX060B048B is rated 97.0% AFUE when installed upflow or horizontal and 95.0% AFUE when installed downflow.
Does this furnace vent with PVC pipe?
Yes. It is a condensing furnace vented with PVC/ABS pipe as a direct vent (2-pipe), single-pipe, or ventilated combustion air system, with twelve venting configurations. Maximum vent lengths depend on pipe size and elevation; see the WFSX installation instructions.
What gas connection and supply pressure does the WFSX060B048B require?
It has a 1/2 in. NPT gas connection and accepts natural gas inlet pressure from 4.5 to 13.6 in. w.c. Your gas line must be sized for the full 60,000 BTU input.
Can I connect a whole-home humidifier or electronic air cleaner?
Yes. The furnace control board has a 24 VAC HUM terminal for a humidifier and a 115 VAC EAC-1 terminal for an electronic air cleaner.
What does AHRI certificate 214915403 verify?
It confirms the tested performance of this exact combination: the W5A5S24AKAWA condenser, W5AM24M17XA coil, and WFSX060B048B furnace. Utilities and rebate programs often ask for this number. You can look it up at ahridirectory.org.
