2 Ton Rheem 13.4 SEER2 R454B Heat Pump Package Unit RHPBYB024AJT000NAAUA
The Rheem RHPBYB024AJT000NAAUA is a 2 ton Endeavor® Line Classic® Series packaged heat pump that heats and cools from one dedicated-horizontal cabinet. Rated 13.4 SEER2 and 6.7 HSPF2 under AHRI #215863988 on R-454B refrigerant, this AUA version adds Rheem's factory tinned indoor coil for better resistance to formicary corrosion, making it a durable all-in-one choice for smaller homes, manufactured homes, and zero-lot-line properties.
Is a 2 Ton Package Heat Pump the Right Size?
Rheem rates the RHPBYB024AJT000NAAUA at 22,800 BTU/h of net cooling and 22,600 BTU/h of heating at 47°F, dropping to 12,700 BTU/h at 17°F. That suits compact single-story homes, smaller manufactured homes, and additions with a lighter heating and cooling load.
With a heat pump, the cold-weather heating number matters as much as the cooling rating. In colder areas, a heat strip covers the gap when outdoor temperatures drop. Duct length and size also affect performance, so use our AC tonnage and BTU calculator as a starting point and confirm with a Manual J calculation.
Ideal for: Smaller single-story homes, manufactured homes, zero-lot-line and space-limited sites, and replacement of an existing 2 ton horizontal package heat pump.

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.

Because everything lives in one outdoor cabinet, there is no line set to run and no indoor air handler to fit. The unit ships with two round 14" duct collars, and this listing offers metal reducers and increasers for other flex duct sizes. Rheem's heater kit table lists kits up to 10 kW for this size, which matches the 5, 8, and 10 kW heat strip options here. If you only need cooling, compare the 2 Ton Rheem RACBYB024AJT000NA straight-cool package unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size home suits the 2 ton RHPBYB024AJT000NAAUA?
Homes and spaces with a load near 24,000 BTU/h, such as compact single-story homes, smaller manufactured homes, and additions. A Manual J load calculation confirms the fit.
What does the AUA at the end of the model number mean?
Rheem's spec sheet identifies AUA as the tinned evaporator coil option. A tinned indoor coil offers better resistance to formicary corrosion than a standard coil.
How much heat does the 2 ton package heat pump produce in cold weather?
Rheem rates it at 22,600 BTU/h at 47°F and 12,700 BTU/h at 17°F. A heat strip provides supplemental heat on the coldest days.
Can this unit fit a zero-lot-line or tight side yard?
Rheem markets the RHPBYB for space-limited sites, and its metal base rails let it be installed flush to the structure without blocking airflow over the outdoor coil.
What filter size does the RHPBYB024AJT000NAAUA need?
The filter is field supplied. Rheem recommends one 1" x 20" x 20" filter for this model.
What breaker does the 2 ton package heat pump need without heat strips?
Rheem lists a 20 A minimum circuit ampacity and a 30 A maximum overcurrent protection. Adding a heat strip changes these values; see the heater kit table.
