EcoTemp 2 Ton 16 SEER2 AC with 80,000 BTU 97% AFUE Gas Furnace – 17-1/2" Cabinet
This package keeps cooling at 2 tons and puts 78,000 BTU of delivered heat behind it. The W5A5S24AKAWA R-454B condenser and W5AM24M17XA coil hold the line's top cooling rating of 16 SEER2 (AHRI 214915442). The WFSX080B048B furnace provides the heat at 97.0% AFUE upflow or horizontal. Even at 80,000 BTU input, the furnace keeps the same 17-1/2 in. cabinet width as the 60K model, so cold-climate homeowners and contractors get more heating capacity without a wider footprint. It fits Midwest, Northeast, and high-plains homes where winter drives sizing and summer cooling stays modest.
Who Needs 80K BTU of Heat with a 2 Ton AC?
Homes that are compact in summer but lose heat quickly in winter often need this combination. Examples include older two-story homes, homes with full basements, drafty farmhouses, and houses at higher elevation. These often have cooling loads near 2 tons (24,000 BTU) while their heat loss at a 0°F or colder design day is well above what a 60K furnace delivers.
Single-stage furnaces run at full fire every cycle. An oversized one will short-cycle in mild weather, so choose 80K only when the numbers support it. Above 2,000 ft, the input derates 4% per 1,000 ft, which can make the larger furnace the correct pick at altitude. A Manual J heat-loss calculation is the right basis for that decision.
Ideal for: Cold-climate homes with small cooling loads, older houses with basements, mountain and high-elevation properties, and replacements of an existing 80K furnace with a higher-efficiency model.
Need more capacity? For more cooling, move up to the EcoTemp 2.5 Ton 60K BTU Gas System (W5A5S30AKAWA).
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.

The WFSX080B048B 80K gas furnace shares its 17-1/2 in. cabinet with the 60K model but adds heating airflow: 1,290 CFM at rated static compared with 1,030 CFM. The W5AM24M17XA coil matches that width, for a combined stack of about 60-13/16 in. before the supply plenum. Propane homes can add the LP gas conversion kit, and installers can find copper line sets sized for the 3/4 in. vapor and 3/8 in. liquid connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who should choose the 80K furnace over the 60K for a 2 ton system?
Homeowners whose calculated heat loss exceeds the 60K model's 58,000 BTU output, which is common in cold northern climates, older homes, and higher elevations. This furnace delivers 78,000 BTU per hour.
What temperature rise does the WFSX080B048B produce?
The certified temperature rise range is 40–70°F. The installer adjusts blower speed so the measured rise falls within that range for your ductwork.
How many burners does the 80K WFSX furnace use?
Four burners, lit by a silicon nitride direct igniter and controlled through a redundant White-Rodgers gas valve.
Can the 2 ton condenser cool when it's cold outside?
With the manufacturer's approved low-ambient accessory kits, the W5A5S can provide cooling down to 0°F outdoor temperature. Those applications also require a crankcase heater and an evaporator freeze thermostat.
What built-in protection does the outdoor unit have?
The W5A5S includes an internal pressure relief valve, internal thermal overload on the compressor, a factory filter drier, and a dense wire coil guard. A cycle protector and time-delay relay are available as accessories.
How tall is the furnace and coil stacked together?
The 35 in. furnace plus the 25-13/16 in. W5AM24M17XA coil come to about 60-13/16 in. before the supply plenum and any transition. Allow extra height for the plenum and filter rack.
