2 Ton Rheem 20 SEER2 R-454B Modulating Inverter Heat Pump System
This complete 2 ton Rheem system pairs the RP19AY24AJVCA inverter heat pump condenser with the RHMVY3621MEACAJ modulating air handler for a factory-matched, EcoNet communicating system rated at 20 SEER2 — the highest efficiency Rheem offers. Built entirely around low-GWP R-454B refrigerant, it combines a variable-speed inverter compressor outdoors with a truly variable-speed modulating blower indoors to deliver precise, quiet, humidity-controlled comfort in compact homes.
Is a 2 Ton Heat Pump System the Right Size?
A 2 ton (24,000 BTU) system generally suits smaller, well-insulated homes, condos, and single-zone spaces, often in the range of roughly 900 to 1,400 square feet. This particular pairing reaches 20 SEER2 by matching the 2 ton condenser to a larger 3 ton air handler coil, which lowers air-side pressure drop and boosts seasonal efficiency.
Correct sizing depends on more than floor area: insulation, duct condition, window load, air infiltration, and your local design temperatures all factor in. Because both the compressor and blower modulate, the system runs long, low-speed cycles that improve comfort and dehumidification, but a Manual J load calculation is still the right way to confirm capacity.
Ideal for: compact single-family homes, townhomes, and condos wanting Rheem's highest-efficiency matched inverter comfort.

Recommended applications are general guidelines only. Actual system requirements depend on insulation, ambient conditions, duct design, window load, and your local design temperatures. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in this 2 ton RP19AY24AJVCA and RHMVY3621MEACAJ system?
The system includes the RP19AY24AJVCA outdoor inverter heat pump condenser and the RHMVY3621MEACAJ modulating indoor air handler. It is a complete, AHRI-certified matched pair (AHRI Ref. 215739589) designed to be installed together.
Why does this 2 ton system reach 20 SEER2?
It pairs the 2 ton condenser with a larger 3 ton air handler coil. The additional coil face reduces air-side pressure drop and improves heat transfer, which raises the AHRI-rated system efficiency to 20 SEER2.
Is this a complete system or do I need to buy parts separately?
This is a complete outdoor-plus-indoor system. Standard installation materials such as the refrigerant line set, thermostat, and any electric heat kit are selected separately based on your installation.
What size home suits this 2 ton heat pump system?
A 2 ton system typically fits smaller, well-insulated homes around 900 to 1,400 square feet. A Manual J load calculation confirms the correct size for your specific home and climate.
Does this system provide heating as well as cooling?
Yes. As a heat pump system it provides both cooling and efficient electric heating, rated at 8.5 HSPF2, with the inverter compressor maintaining output in colder weather.
What is the AHRI reference number for this matched system?
This matched system is listed under AHRI Reference Number 215739589. You can look it up at the AHRI Directory to view the official certified ratings.
