Rheem Select 3 Ton Electric HVAC System with Heat Kit – Up to 15.2 SEER2

Rheem Select 3 Ton Electric HVAC System Overview

The Rheem Select 3 Ton Electric HVAC System combines efficient residential cooling, flexible indoor airflow and dependable supplemental electric heat. This complete configuration includes a Rheem Select outdoor air conditioner, a multiposition air handler and a 10 kW electric heat kit. It uses R-454B refrigerant and can deliver efficiency ratings up to 15.2 SEER2 when installed as an approved matched system.

This straight-cool electric system is designed for properties that use an air handler instead of a gas furnace. The 3-ton capacity provides approximately 36,000 BTUs of nominal cooling, while the adaptable indoor unit supports multiple installation orientations.

What Comes with the Rheem Select 3 Ton Electric System?

The Rheem Select 3 Ton Electric system includes three primary HVAC components:

• Rheem WA14AY36AJ1NA air conditioner: A 3-ton outdoor condenser with single-stage cooling, a scroll compressor and R-454B refrigerant.
• Rheem WH2TY3617STANNJ air handler: A multiposition indoor unit featuring a constant-torque motor, two-stage airflow and a thermal expansion valve.
• PROTECH RXBH-1724A10J-B heat kit: A 10 kW electric heater kit for 208–240 volt applications with a breaker and Smart Plug connection.

The outdoor and indoor components must be properly matched, configured and installed to achieve the listed system performance. Compatibility should always be confirmed before ordering.

• Cooling efficiency ratings up to 15.2 SEER2
• Lower-GWP R-454B refrigerant
• Single-stage outdoor cooling operation
• Multiposition indoor air handler
• Constant-torque blower motor
• Two-stage indoor airflow capability
• 10 kW supplemental electric heat
• Rheem and PROTECH system components

Reliable Cooling and Indoor Airflow

The condenser included with the Rheem Select 3 Ton Electric system belongs to Rheem’s Endeavor Line Select Series. Its single-stage scroll compressor is engineered to provide dependable cooling during warm weather. A fully louvered steel cabinet helps protect the outdoor coil from weather and common yard hazards.

The WH2TY air handler uses a constant-torque motor to support steady airflow through the home’s duct system. Its two-stage airflow capability can improve comfort when correctly configured with compatible controls. The factory-installed thermal expansion valve helps regulate refrigerant flow through the indoor coil.

You can review the outdoor equipment details on the official Rheem specification page.

Is a 3 Ton HVAC System the Correct Size?

The Rheem Select 3 Ton Electric HVAC System is commonly considered for medium-sized residential properties, but square footage alone cannot determine the correct capacity. Insulation, windows, ceiling height, climate, sun exposure, ductwork and the building’s overall heat load must also be evaluated.

An oversized system may start and stop too frequently, affecting humidity control and equipment life. An undersized system may run continuously without maintaining the desired temperature. Use the Xpress AC Sizing Calculator for an initial estimate and ask a qualified HVAC professional to perform a load calculation before purchasing.

Electric Heat Without a Gas Furnace

This system uses a 10 kW electric heat kit installed in the air handler to provide supplemental heating. It does not contain a gas furnace and the outdoor unit is not a heat pump. During heating operation, the heat kit uses electric resistance elements to warm the air distributed through the duct system.

The electrical panel, wiring and circuit protection must have sufficient capacity for the selected heater kit. These requirements should be evaluated by qualified HVAC and electrical professionals before installation.

Professional Installation Requirements

The Rheem Select 3 Ton Electric system requires professional installation by a technician familiar with R-454B equipment and applicable A2L refrigerant procedures. The installer must verify refrigerant piping, electrical service, airflow settings, condensate drainage, duct capacity and local code requirements.

A thermostat, refrigerant line set, condenser pad, disconnect, drain pan, electrical wiring and other installation materials may be required. These accessories are not included unless they are specifically identified in the selected package.
