5 Ton Rheem Select 13.8 SEER2 R454B Single Stage Central System WA14AY60AJ1NA, RH1AY6024STANNJ
This is the largest Rheem Endeavor® Line Select™ RH1AY system. The WA14AY60AJ1NA condenser pairs with the RH1AY6024STANNJ single-stage-airflow air handler, AHRI certified at 13.8 SEER2 (#217232266). It delivers 60,000 BTU/h on low-GWP R-454B, and the condenser comes with a factory-installed crankcase heater. The air handler includes 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 top of the residential split-system range. It's often used in homes around 2,500–3,000+ sq. ft. as a loose guide, and in some light commercial spaces.
Confirm the load before choosing 5 tons, since many larger homes are better served by two zoned systems. A Manual J load calculation and duct review make sure one 5 ton system is right.
Ideal for: Large homes, two-story homes on one system and light commercial spaces on a budget.
Want two-stage airflow? See the 5 Ton Rheem Select 13.8 SEER2 R454B Central System WA14AY60AJ1NA, RH2TY6024STANNJ, which pairs the same condenser with the RH2TY.
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.
