5 Ton Rheem 13.8 SEER2 R454B Single Stage Central System RA14AY60AJ1NA, RH1AY6024STANNJ
This Rheem Endeavor® Line Classic® system pairs the RA14AY60AJ1NA condenser with the RH1AY6024STANNJ single-stage-airflow air handler in the full-size 24.5" cabinet, AHRI certified at 13.8 SEER2 (#217232254). It's the standard 5 ton RA14AY match for homes with room for the wider air handler. The condenser includes a factory crankcase heater. It uses low-GWP R-454B with Rheem's PlusOne® Refrigerant Detection System™. It's cooling only, with Rheem electric heat strips up to 20 kW offered.
Is a 5 Ton Air Conditioning System the Right Size?
A 5 ton system provides 60,000 BTU/h of nominal cooling, the largest size for most residential split systems. It's often used in homes around 2,500–3,000+ sq. ft. as a general guide, and in some light commercial spaces.
Large single-stage systems can short-cycle if they're oversized. Confirm the load with a Manual J calculation and make sure the duct system can carry the airflow a 5 ton system needs.
Ideal for: Large single-family homes, two-story homes on one system and light commercial spaces.
Need a narrower air handler? See the 5 Ton Rheem 13.8 SEER2 R454B Single Stage Central System RA14AY60AJ1NA, RH1AY6021STANAJ with the 21" air handler.
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.
