Rheem Select 4 Ton Electric HVAC System with Heat Kit – Up to 15.2 SEER2

Rheem Select 4 Ton Electric HVAC System Overview

The Rheem Select 4 Ton Electric HVAC System provides high-capacity residential cooling, flexible indoor airflow and reliable electric heating. This complete configuration combines a Rheem Select outdoor air conditioner, a multiposition air handler and a 15 kW electric heat kit. It uses R-454B refrigerant and can achieve cooling efficiency ratings up to 15.2 SEER2 with an approved matched equipment combination.

With approximately 48,000 BTUs of nominal cooling capacity, this system is designed for properties with a properly calculated 4-ton cooling requirement. It is a straight-cool electric system: the outdoor condenser provides air conditioning, while the indoor heat kit supplies electric resistance heating.

What Is Included with the Rheem Select 4 Ton Electric System?

The Rheem Select 4 Ton Electric system includes the following primary HVAC components:

• Rheem WA14AY48AJ1NA air conditioner: A 4-ton outdoor condenser featuring single-stage cooling, a scroll compressor and R-454B refrigerant.
• Rheem WH2TY4821STANNJ air handler: A multiposition indoor unit with a constant-torque blower motor, two-stage airflow and a thermal expansion valve.
• PROTECH RXBH-1724A15J-B heat kit: A 15 kW electric heater kit for 208–240 volt applications with a breaker and Smart Plug connection.

The selected components should be verified before ordering. Final efficiency and performance depend on the complete matched system, airflow configuration, ductwork and professional installation.

High-Capacity Residential Cooling

The outdoor condenser included with the Rheem Select 4 Ton Electric system belongs to Rheem’s Endeavor Line Select Series. Its single-stage scroll compressor delivers consistent cooling output during warm weather. A fully louvered steel cabinet helps protect the outdoor coil against weather, debris and common yard hazards.

The condenser’s optimized 7 mm coil design supports effective airflow and heat transfer. Accessible service areas also help qualified HVAC technicians complete installation, inspections and future maintenance.

Review the condenser’s technical information on the official Rheem product page.

Multiposition Air Handler and Electric Heat

The WH2TY air handler uses a constant-torque motor to support consistent airflow throughout the duct system. Its multiposition cabinet allows horizontal, upflow and downflow installation, making it suitable for different equipment locations and replacement applications.

The included 15 kW electric heat kit provides supplemental heating without requiring a gas furnace. Electric resistance elements warm the air inside the air handler before the blower distributes it throughout the property.

A 15 kW heat kit requires adequate electrical capacity. The electrical panel, wiring, circuit protection and installation requirements must be evaluated by qualified professionals before the equipment is installed.

Is a 4 Ton HVAC System the Right Size?

The Rheem Select 4 Ton Electric HVAC System should only be purchased after confirming the property’s cooling load. Selecting equipment based exclusively on square footage can result in an oversized or undersized system.

Insulation, ceiling height, windows, regional climate, sun exposure, occupancy and ductwork all influence the required capacity. An oversized unit may cycle frequently and provide inadequate humidity control, while an undersized unit may run continuously without maintaining the desired indoor temperature.

Use the Xpress AC Sizing Calculator for an initial estimate and request a professional Manual J load calculation before purchasing.

Professional Installation Requirements

The Rheem Select 4 Ton Electric system must be installed by a qualified HVAC professional familiar with R-454B equipment and applicable A2L refrigerant procedures. The installer must verify refrigerant piping, electrical capacity, airflow settings, duct size, condensate drainage and local code requirements.

The system may also require a compatible thermostat, refrigerant line set, condenser pad, disconnect, drain pan, electrical wiring and other installation materials. These accessories are not included unless specifically identified in the selected package.
