3 Ton EcoTemp 13.4 SEER2 R-454B 60K BTU Gas Package Unit WPG536A060RKB
The EcoTemp WPG536A060RKB pairs serious cooling with efficient heating. It delivers 34,400 BTUh of rated air conditioning and 1,150 CFM of airflow, driven by a 3/4 HP ECM blower. A 60,000 BTU input gas furnace provides 49,000 BTU of output at 81% AFUE. It is a strong choice for homes and small businesses in hot climates, such as the Gulf Coast, Florida, and the Southwest, where summer cooling carries most of the load and winters are shorter. Like every EcoTemp WPG5, it ships factory charged with R-454B refrigerant and a built-in leak detection dissipation system.
Is a 3 Ton Gas Package Unit With 60K Heat the Right Size?
Three tons is one of the most common residential sizes, but in a package unit the furnace choice matters as much as the tonnage. The WPG536A060RKB is the lower-heat 3 ton option. Use it when a load calculation shows about 34,000 to 36,000 BTUh of heat gain and a heating requirement under roughly 49,000 BTU of output.
Choosing the 60K burner over the 90K version in a warm climate keeps furnace cycles longer and steadier. Short, frequent burner cycles waste fuel and add wear. Large windows, two-story layouts, high occupancy, and attic ductwork can all push cooling loads up. Low insulation and harsh winters push heating loads up. Size both sides before ordering.
Ideal for: Single-family homes and manufactured homes in hot-summer, mild-winter climates, plus small restaurants, salons, and offices with 3 ton cooling loads.
Need more capacity? Step up to the 3 Ton EcoTemp 90K BTU Gas Package Unit WPG536A090RKB for the same cooling with a 90,000 BTU input furnace for colder winters.
Recommended applications are general guidelines only. Actual system requirements depend on insulation, ductwork, climate, window area, occupancy, and a proper load calculation. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 3 ton WPG536A060RKB compare with the 2.5 ton model?
It adds 5,600 BTUh of rated cooling (34,400 vs. 28,800), increases airflow to 1,150 CFM with a 3/4 HP blower, and moves to the larger 36–60 cabinet. The 60K furnace is the same. Electrical increases to 22.9 MCA with a 35 amp maximum breaker.
Why choose 60K heat on a 3 ton unit instead of 90K?
In warm climates, a 60K furnace closely matches the actual heating load, which means longer, more efficient burner cycles. If your heat loss calculation calls for more than about 49,000 BTU of output, choose the WPG536A090RKB instead.
What blower motor does the WPG536A060RKB use?
It uses a standard 3/4 HP ECM indoor blower motor, rated for 1,150 CFM nominal cooling airflow, to move more air efficiently through the home's ductwork.
Can the WPG536A060RKB work with an economizer?
Yes. The manufacturer offers a vertical economizer (CPECOMZR009A00) and a horizontal economizer (CPECOMZR012A00) for sizes 36, 48, and 60. Both include a filter rack and 1-inch filter, which is useful for light commercial ventilation.
What is the minimum room area requirement for the WPG536A060RKB's refrigerant charge?
Because R-454B is an A2L refrigerant, the manufacturer lists a minimum conditioned space area of 106 sq. ft. for this size. A factory-installed leak detection dissipation system is standard.
Can the WPG536A060RKB be installed at high altitude?
The WPG5 series is approved up to 10,000 ft (3,048 m) above sea level. Burner orifice data in the technical specifications is based on 0–2,000 ft, so higher installations may require adjustments per the installation manual.
