Family homes get dependable two-stage comfort with this 3 ton Rheem Select system, which pairs the WP14AY36AJ2NA heat pump with the RH2TY3617STANNJ air handler on R-454B refrigerant. Rated 14.3 SEER2 under AHRI #214568803, it delivers the most common residential size in Rheem's value-focused Endeavor Select line, with a fully louvered steel cabinet built to stand up to yard and weather hazards.
Is a 3 Ton Heat Pump System the Right Size?
Rheem's tested data lists 34,200 BTU/h of cooling, 33,600 BTU/h of heating at 47°F, and 22,200 BTU/h at 17°F. Three tons suits family homes with several bedrooms, open kitchens and living areas, or two floors on one system.
Bonus rooms over garages, two-story layouts, and large window areas can push the load past what square footage suggests, while new insulation can bring it down. A load calculation keeps the system from short-cycling, and two-stage operation helps it stay comfortable as conditions change.
Ideal for: Family homes with three to four bedrooms, two-story houses on one system, and replacement of an existing 3 ton heat pump.

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.
