5 Ton Rheem RHMVY6024SEACNJ Modulating Air Handler
The Rheem RHMVY6024SEACNJ is a 5 ton Endeavor Line modulating air handler built in Rheem's widest 24.5-inch cabinet — the top-tier indoor unit for R-454B inverter systems, configured for maximum coil face and a lower profile. Its larger cabinet, truly variable-speed Constant CFM motor, and factory-installed EEV coil move high airflow at lower static pressure for demanding large-home installations, with an included PlusOne A2L refrigerant sensor.
Is the RHMVY6024SEACNJ the Right Air Handler?
This 60,000 BTU air handler serves 5 ton R-454B systems in large homes, operating across roughly 1,000 to 1,600 CFM in cooling, and its defining feature is the wide 24.5-inch cabinet. The extra width provides more coil face area and a lower-profile design at 55.5 inches tall, which supports strong airflow and helps the system perform well against higher-static duct systems.
Compared with the slim 21-inch 5 ton model, this version prioritizes coil face and a lower height over a narrow footprint. It is the right pick where duct static is a concern or where a lower-profile unit fits the mechanical space better, confirmed alongside a Manual J and duct assessment.
Ideal for: 5 ton R-454B systems in large homes needing extra coil face, strong airflow, or a lower-profile cabinet.
Matched outdoor unit: Pair it with the 5 Ton Rheem RP19AY60AJVCA Inverter Heat Pump. Width-limited space? Compare the slim 21-inch RHMVY6021SEACAJ.
Recommended applications are general guidelines only. Actual system requirements depend on the matched outdoor unit, insulation, duct design, and your local design temperatures. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I choose the wide 24.5-inch RHMVY6024SEACNJ over the 21-inch 5 ton?
Choose this model when you want extra coil face, strong airflow against higher static, or a lower-profile 55.5-inch cabinet. The slim 21-inch RHMVY6021SEACAJ is the better fit where width is restricted.
How much airflow does the 24.5-inch RHMVY6024SEACNJ move?
With a matched 5 ton R-454B system it is rated for roughly 1,000 to 1,600 CFM in cooling, and its wider cabinet's larger coil face and 23-inch supply opening give the blower strong performance against higher-static duct systems.
What refrigerant and metering device does the RHMVY6024SEACNJ use?
It is designed for R-454B refrigerant and uses a factory-installed Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) that meters refrigerant precisely based on measured suction conditions for efficient heating and cooling.
Is the condensate drain pan corrosion resistant?
Yes. All indoor coils use a molded polymer, corrosion-resistant condensate drain pan, with primary and auxiliary drain connections provided for different installation orientations.
Can this air handler be converted for horizontal installation?
Yes. Its 4-way convertible design supports upflow, downflow, horizontal left, and horizontal right airflow. A horizontal adapter kit (RXHH) and auxiliary drain connection are provided for horizontal applications.
What blower motor does the RHMVY6024SEACNJ use?
It uses a 3/4 HP truly variable-speed Constant CFM ECM motor (300–1300 RPM) with modulating airflow, which maintains target airflow across changing static conditions while operating quietly and efficiently at partial loads.
