Description
The Rheem WA14AY18AJ1NA condenser and RH2TY2417STANNJ air handler form a matched 2-ton split AC system engineered for modern efficiency and environmental compliance. Delivering 24,000 BTU of cooling capacity with a SEER2 rating of 14.3, this high-performance bundle utilizes eco-conscious R-454B refrigerant. It’s designed for outdoor pad mount and multi-position indoor installation, including upflow, downflow, and horizontal orientations. Perfect for residential and light commercial spaces, the system supports efficient year-round operation for contractors, property managers, and direct buyers.
Performance
This system features a single-stage scroll compressor in the WA14AY condenser, delivering consistent cooling under varying conditions. The 7 mm coil design enhances heat transfer efficiency, while the RH2TY air handler includes an aluminum indoor coil for durability and sustained performance. Paired together, the components achieve a balanced 14.3 SEER2 and 12.0 EER2 efficiency, optimized for performance in high-demand cooling climates.
Smart Features
While not EcoNet-enabled, the system offers full compatibility with standard thermostats and home comfort controls. Contractors can easily integrate this bundle with programmable or digital thermostats, and zoning systems for enhanced comfort management. The system architecture also supports third-party home automation setups, giving property owners flexible climate control options.
Comfort & Noise
The WA14AY condenser is acoustically designed for quiet operation, producing approximately 70 dBA during normal cooling. Inside, the RH2TY air handler includes a two-stage ECM blower motor capable of delivering 600–800 CFM depending on system demand. This ensures balanced airflow, temperature stability, and reduced noise throughout the home or building. The air handler’s internally insulated cabinet helps minimize sound transmission and air leakage.
Use Case Fit
With its 2-ton capacity and R-454B refrigerant, this system is ideal for residential homes, small office spaces, and multi-family properties, especially in warmer regions like Florida, Texas, and the Gulf Coast. The low-GWP refrigerant future-proofs the installation against upcoming EPA standards, making it a smart choice for eco-conscious installations or regulatory compliance projects.
Value & Reliability
Both the WA14AY condenser and RH2TY air handler are built with long-term durability in mind. The outdoor unit features a powder-coated galvanized steel cabinet, corrosion-resistant base, and tight-sealed electrical controls. Indoors, the RH2TY's aluminum coil, 1-inch foil-faced insulation, and reinforced steel cabinet ensure consistent airflow and low maintenance. Together, they provide reliable, efficient service with minimal service interruptions.
