2 Ton Rheem Select 15.2 SEER2 R454B Small Footprint Central AC System WSA14AY24AJ1NA, RH2TY2417STANNJ
This 2 ton Rheem Endeavor® Line Select™ Series iC system fits 24,000 BTU/h of cooling into the same compact 23.63" x 23.63" cabinet as the 1.5 ton. The WSA14AY24AJ1NA condenser is matched with the RH2TY2417STANNJ two-stage-airflow air handler and AHRI certified at 15.2 SEER2 (#217133168). Rheem lists the WSA14AY as ENERGY STAR® certified. It uses low-GWP R-454B with Rheem's PlusOne® Refrigerant Detection System™ in the air handler. 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. That's often 2-bedroom homes, larger condos, townhomes and starter homes 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. Replacing like-for-like without a check can repeat an old sizing mistake. A Manual J load calculation confirms whether 2 tons is correct.
Ideal for: Townhomes, starter homes, rentals and 2-bedroom houses with limited room beside the house.
Need more capacity? Step up to the 2.5 Ton Rheem Select 15.2 SEER2 R454B Small Footprint Central AC System WSA14AY30AJ1NA, RH2TY3617STANNJ 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the WSA14AY24AJ1NA ENERGY STAR certified?
Rheem's WSA14AY brochure lists the series as ENERGY STAR® certified. Certification depends on the matched indoor coil or air handler, so confirm the specific match on the ENERGY STAR or AHRI directory.
Do the 1.5 and 2 ton WSA14AY condensers use the same cabinet?
Yes. Both measure 32.25" x 23.63" x 23.63" and use the same 18" fan. The 2 ton has a larger compressor (10 RLA vs. 8 RLA) and needs a 14 MCA / 20A circuit instead of 12 MCA / 15A.
How does the WSA14AY base pan help with corrosion and noise?
Rheem uses a one-piece drawn and painted base pan that raises the coil off the pad. That keeps the coil away from standing water and debris and helps reduce operating sound.
How does this compare to the standard-footprint 2 ton Rheem Select system?
The WA14AY24BJ1NA, RH2TY2417STANNJ system is also rated 15.2 SEER2 but uses a wider, shorter 33.66" x 33.66" cabinet. The WSA14AY24 fits a much smaller pad.
What low ambient accessories fit the WSA14AY24AJ1NA?
Rheem lists the RXAD-A08 low ambient control. A 44-17402-44 compressor crankcase heater is recommended whenever the low ambient kit is installed.
Can I run a 5/8" suction line on the 2 ton WSA14AY24?
Yes. Rheem's line-size tables allow 5/8" or 3/4" suction lines on the 2 ton, with small capacity multipliers at longer lengths. Follow Rheem's installation instructions when connecting to the 3/4" suction service valve.
