2 Ton Rheem Select 14.3 SEER2 R454B Two Stage Heat Pump System WP14AY24AJ2NA, RH2TY2417STANNJ
This 2 ton Rheem Select system is the entry point to two-stage comfort in the WP14AY lineup, pairing the WP14AY24AJ2NA two-stage heat pump with the RH2TY2417STANNJ air handler. Rated 14.3 SEER2 under AHRI #214568793 on R-454B refrigerant, it gives townhome and starter-home owners steadier temperatures and better humidity control than single-stage equipment without stepping up to a premium price.
Is a 2 Ton Heat Pump System the Right Size?
Rheem's tested data rates this combination at 22,800 BTU/h of cooling and 22,800 BTU/h of heating at 47°F. That fits smaller single-family homes, townhouses, and larger condos, and two-stage operation keeps it running gently on low stage most of the year.
Replacing like-for-like is not always right. New windows, attic insulation, or sealed ducts can lower the load, while an enclosed porch or added room can raise it. Sun exposure and occupancy matter too, so a quick load calculation is worth the time.
Ideal for: Townhomes, starter homes, larger condos, and replacement of an aging 2 ton heat pump on a budget.
Need more capacity? Move up to the 2.5 Ton Rheem Select 14.3 SEER2 R454B Two Stage Heat Pump System WP14AY30AJ2NA, RH2TY3617STANNJ for homes with a heavier load.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does two-stage operation add over the 1.5 ton single-stage model?
The WP14AY24AJ2NA can run at low or high capacity. Running on low stage most of the time gives longer, quieter cycles and better humidity removal than the single-stage 1.5 ton model.
Who is the 2 ton WP14AY24AJ2NA system a good fit for?
Townhomes, starter homes, and larger condos with a load near 24,000 BTU/h. Confirm with a load calculation before you buy.
What thermostat do I need to use both stages?
Choose a heat pump thermostat that supports two compressor stages (Y1 and Y2) plus auxiliary heat. The Honeywell T6 Pro, Honeywell T10+, ecobee Smart, and Nest Learning options on this listing all qualify.
What is the difference between Rheem Select and Rheem Classic Plus?
Select (WP14AY) is Rheem's value-focused Endeavor line, rated 14.3 SEER2 in this match with a 5-year parts and compressor warranty on the outdoor unit. Classic Plus (RP15AY) is rated 15.2 SEER2 with different warranty terms.
Can the RH2TY2417STANNJ be installed horizontally in an attic?
Yes. The RH2TY is 4-way convertible for upflow, downflow, horizontal left, or horizontal right installations.
What breaker does the 2 ton WP14AY24AJ2NA require?
Rheem lists a 16 A minimum circuit ampacity and a 25 A maximum overcurrent protection.
