5 Ton Rheem 15.2 SEER2 R454B Two Stage Heat Pump System RP15AY60AJ2NA, RH2TY6024STANNJ
The largest system in Rheem's RP15AY two-stage lineup, this 5 ton package pairs the RP15AY60AJ2NA heat pump, built with a two-row condenser coil and 26" fan, with the 24.5" RH2TY6024STANNJ air handler. Rated 15.2 SEER2 under AHRI #215415470 on R-454B refrigerant, it delivers maximum single-system residential capacity for large homes and high-demand spaces.
Is a 5 Ton Heat Pump System the Right Size?
Rheem rates this combination at 57,000 BTU/h of cooling, 55,000 BTU/h of heating at 47°F, and 32,000 BTU/h at 17°F. It is meant for large homes, houses with extensive glass or high ceilings, and hot climates where smaller systems cannot keep up during peak conditions.
Because it is the biggest size, it is also the easiest to oversize. Two-stage operation helps by running on low stage when full capacity is not needed, but sizing should still come from a Manual J calculation. Ductwork for 5 tons must be generous on both supply and return.
Ideal for: Large single-family homes, homes with high ceilings or lots of glass, hot-climate properties with heavy cooling demand, and replacement of an existing 5 ton heat pump.
Need less capacity? Compare the 4 Ton Rheem 15.2 SEER2 R454B Two Stage Heat Pump System RP15AY48AJ2NA, RH2TY4821STANNJ if your load calculation comes in below 5 tons.
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.
