2 Ton Rheem Select 14.3 SEER2 R454B Single Stage Central System WSA14AY24AJ1NA, RH1AY2417STANNJ
This 2 ton Rheem Endeavor® Line Select™ Series iC system pairs the small footprint WSA14AY24AJ1NA condenser with the RH1AY2417STANNJ single-stage-airflow air handler, AHRI certified at 14.3 SEER2 (#217486296). It packs 24,000 BTU/h into a 23.63" x 23.63" outdoor cabinet, a good fit where a standard 2 ton condenser won't fit the side yard. It uses low-GWP R-454B with Rheem's PlusOne® Refrigerant Detection System™. It's cooling only, with optional Rheem electric heat strips.
Is a 2 Ton Air Conditioning System the Right Size?
Two tons (24,000 BTU/h) fits moderate cooling loads, often 2-bedroom homes, larger condos and townhomes around 900–1,200 sq. ft. as a general reference. Similar floor plans can still need different tonnage.
Ceiling height, window orientation, insulation and duct condition all shape the load. A Manual J load calculation confirms 2 tons before you replace an older system like for like.
Ideal for: Townhomes, rentals and 2-bedroom homes with narrow side yards.
Need more capacity? Step up to the 2.5 Ton Rheem Select 14.3 SEER2 R454B Single Stage Central System WSA14AY30AJ1NA, RH1AY3617STANNJ for a larger load.
Recommended home sizes are general guidelines only. Actual system requirements depend on insulation, climate, windows, ductwork, occupancy and a proper load calculation. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.
