Rheem Select 2 Ton 14.3 SEER2 Heat Pump Condenser

WP14AY24AJ2NA Rheem Select 2 Ton Heat Pump

WP14AY24AJ2NA is a Rheem Select outdoor heat pump condenser designed to provide dependable heating and cooling for compatible residential split systems. Its nominal 2 ton capacity makes it suitable for smaller residential applications when selected through a professional HVAC load calculation. This unit combines two-stage performance, durable outdoor construction and R-454B refrigerant technology.

Unlike a straight-cool air conditioner, this heat pump can reverse the refrigeration cycle. During warm weather, it removes heat from the indoor space and releases it outdoors. During cooler weather, it collects available outdoor heat and transfers it inside. This allows one properly matched system to provide both cooling and heating.

Efficient Two-Stage Operation

The WP14AY24AJ2NA uses a two-stage scroll compressor with low and high operating capacities. During periods of moderate demand, the lower stage can help maintain more consistent temperatures, improve indoor humidity control and reduce unnecessary system cycling.

When heating or cooling demand increases, the unit can switch to its higher stage to provide additional capacity. Actual operation depends on compatible indoor equipment, thermostat configuration, airflow settings and professional system commissioning.

2 Ton Heating and Cooling Capacity

The WP14AY24AJ2NA carries a nominal capacity designation of 24,000 BTU per hour. With Rheem’s published H2TY2417STANN air-handler combination, it provides approximately 22,800 BTU per hour of total cooling capacity and approximately 775 CFM of indoor airflow under specified rating conditions.

Rheem lists approximately 22,800 BTU per hour of heating capacity at 47°F and 14,000 BTU per hour at 17°F with the published match. Actual capacity varies according to outdoor temperature, indoor airflow, system configuration, duct condition and installation quality.

Equipment size should not be selected using square footage alone. Climate, insulation, windows, ceiling height, occupancy, air leakage and ductwork all influence the required capacity. A qualified HVAC professional should perform a Manual J load calculation before purchase.

14.3 SEER2 Matched-System Efficiency

The WP14AY24AJ2NA achieves 14.3 SEER2, 9.0 EER2 and 7.5 HSPF2 with Rheem’s specified indoor equipment match. These ratings apply to the complete certified system rather than the outdoor condenser operating independently.

The final efficiency depends on the exact air handler, metering device, thermostat, airflow configuration and approved AHRI combination. Proper refrigerant charging, duct design and system commissioning also affect comfort and real-world energy performance.

Modern R-454B Refrigerant

The WP14AY24AJ2NA uses R-454B, a lower-global-warming-potential refrigerant used in newer residential HVAC equipment. Every connected indoor component must be approved for operation with R-454B.

Because R-454B is classified as an A2L refrigerant, installation and service require compatible tools, approved components and appropriate safety procedures. Rheem lists approximately 83 ounces of factory-supplied refrigerant for this model.

The final refrigerant charge depends on the installed line-set length and manufacturer instructions. A qualified technician must complete pressure testing, evacuation, charging and commissioning. Rheem’s required refrigerant detection and mitigation components must also be installed correctly.

Durable Outdoor Construction

A fully louvered steel cabinet helps protect the outdoor coil from weather exposure and common yard hazards. Rheem’s optimized condenser-coil design supports airflow and heat transfer. The expanded service-valve area also gives technicians additional working space during installation and maintenance.

The WP14AY24AJ2NA has a listed sound level of approximately 73 dB and an operating weight of approximately 158 pounds. Its outdoor fan moves approximately 2,620 CFM under published operating conditions.

The cabinet measures approximately 25.17 inches high, 29.53 inches wide and 29.53 inches deep. The unit must be installed on a stable, level condenser pad with the manufacturer’s required airflow and maintenance clearances.

Electrical and Line-Set Requirements

This condenser operates on a 208/230-volt, single-phase, 60 Hz electrical supply. Rheem lists a minimum circuit ampacity of 16 amps and maximum overcurrent protection of 25 amps. Final wiring, breaker and disconnect requirements must follow the unit nameplate, installation manual and applicable electrical codes.

The published refrigerant connections are 3/8 inch for the liquid line and 3/4 inch for the suction line. Existing refrigerant lines must be inspected for correct diameter, length, condition, cleanliness and R-454B compatibility before reuse.

Matching Indoor Equipment Required

The WP14AY24AJ2NA is the outdoor heat pump condenser only. It does not include an indoor air handler, electric heat kit, thermostat, refrigerant line set, equipment pad or installation materials unless those items are specifically included in the selected package.

A compatible R-454B air handler and approved metering device are required to create a complete system. An optional electric heat kit can supply supplemental or emergency heating during colder conditions. The appropriate heat-kit capacity depends on the property’s heating load, electrical service and air-handler model.

Professional Installation Required

The WP14AY24AJ2NA should be installed by a qualified HVAC professional trained to work with R-454B equipment. Proper airflow, pressure testing, evacuation, refrigerant charging, wiring, drainage and system commissioning are essential for safe and dependable operation.
