Rheem Select 5 Ton 24.5-Inch Heat Pump System – 15.2 SEER2

The Rheem Select 5 Ton 24.5-Inch Heat Pump system is a complete residential heating and cooling configuration designed for properties that use an air handler and electric heat instead of a gas furnace. It combines a two-stage outdoor heat pump, a 24.5-inch multiposition indoor air handler, and a 20 kW-class auxiliary electric heat kit.

The corrected equipment combination uses the WP14AY60AJ2NA outdoor heat pump with the WH2TY6024STANNJ air handler. This pairing provides 57,000 BTU of certified cooling capacity and 15.2 SEER2 efficiency under AHRI reference number 218076470. Actual performance depends on correct sizing, installation quality, airflow, ductwork, climate, and building conditions.

Rheem Select 5 Ton 24.5-Inch Heat Pump Overview

The WP14AY60AJ2NA outdoor unit belongs to the Rheem Endeavor® Line Select™ Series. Unlike a straight-cool air conditioner, this heat pump reverses its refrigeration cycle to provide both residential cooling and primary electric heating.

Its two-stage scroll compressor operates at high and low capacity levels. This allows the system to respond more precisely to changing comfort demands and can support more consistent indoor temperatures and humidity management than conventional single-stage operation under appropriate conditions.

The outdoor heat pump is paired with the WH2TY6024STANNJ air handler. This indoor unit features a constant-torque blower motor, two-stage airflow operation, an aluminum N-coil, and a factory-installed thermostatic expansion valve.

The air handler has a 24.5-inch-wide cabinet and supports upflow, downflow, horizontal-left, and horizontal-right applications when installed according to current Rheem instructions and applicable codes.

System Compatibility

The documented performance for the Rheem Select 5 Ton 24.5-Inch Heat Pump applies to the WP14AY60AJ2NA and WH2TY6024STANNJ combination under AHRI reference number 218076470. The 21-inch WH2TY6021STANAJ air handler belongs to a different certified combination and must not be listed as the indoor component of this 24.5-inch system.

Substituting a different outdoor unit, air handler, metering device, heat kit, or blower configuration can change capacity and efficiency. The exact models selected in the product configurator must match the models shown in the technical description and AHRI information.

The thermostat must support two-stage heat-pump operation, auxiliary electric heat, and emergency heat. The installing contractor must verify the electrical service, heat-kit circuits, breaker capacity, conductor sizing, disconnects, refrigerant lines, drainage, equipment clearances, and required airflow.

Choosing the Rheem Select 5 Ton 24.5-Inch Heat Pump

The Rheem Select 5 Ton 24.5-Inch Heat Pump is intended for residential applications requiring electric cooling and heating without a gas furnace. Before ordering, compare this configuration with other heat pump systems available from Xpress AC Supply.

Correct sizing is essential when selecting a Rheem Select 5 Ton 24.5-Inch Heat Pump. A qualified HVAC contractor should complete a load calculation and evaluate insulation, windows, air leakage, ceiling height, occupancy, ductwork, local climate, and indoor design temperatures.

When correctly matched and installed, the Rheem Select 5 Ton 24.5-Inch Heat Pump provides two-stage operation with auxiliary electric heat for year-round residential comfort.

R-454B Refrigerant Information

This equipment is engineered for R-454B refrigerant. R-454B is classified as an A2L refrigerant and requires compatible installation tools, components, handling procedures, and safety practices.

R-454B must not be mixed with R-410A or used with components that have not been approved for the applicable refrigerant and system configuration. Existing refrigerant lines and accessories must be evaluated for compatibility before installation.

The indoor equipment incorporates provisions designed for the R-454B platform, including refrigerant detection and mitigation components. Installation, evacuation, charging, leak testing, commissioning, and service must be completed by qualified HVAC personnel.

Warranty and Documentation

Rheem lists limited and conditional warranty coverage for eligible equipment. Coverage and registration requirements can vary by component, application, purchaser, installation, and location. Product registration may be required within the specified period to receive conditional coverage.

Review the current warranty certificate before purchase and register eligible equipment directly through Rheem after installation. Model numbers, serial numbers, proof of purchase, installation details, and homeowner information may be required.

For verified technical information, review the official Rheem WP14AY60AJ2NA specifications, the official Rheem WH2TY6024STANNJ specifications, and the Rheem warranty and registration portal.

Professional Installation Notice

The Rheem Select 5 Ton 24.5-Inch Heat Pump must be sized and installed by qualified HVAC professionals. Tonnage alone does not determine whether this system is appropriate for a particular property.

A professional load calculation should be used instead of selecting equipment only by square footage. Oversized equipment may short-cycle and provide poor humidity control, while undersized equipment may struggle during demanding weather conditions.

Professional installation is necessary to establish correct airflow, refrigerant charge, electrical protection, thermostat configuration, condensate drainage, and auxiliary-heat operation. Improper sizing or installation can reduce efficiency, comfort, reliability, and equipment life.
