Description
The Rheem WA15AY24AJ1NA, part of the Endeavor® Line Select® Series iC, is a 2-ton air conditioner condenser designed for high-performance residential and light commercial cooling applications. Delivering up to 15.2 SEER2 efficiency, this unit is charged with R-410A refrigerant and utilizes a side-discharge configuration for space-constrained installations. Its 24,000 BTU cooling capacity makes it a solid solution for homes or buildings requiring balanced performance and energy efficiency. The cabinet is constructed from galvanized steel with a powder-coated finish, offering long-term protection against outdoor exposure. Engineered for reliability and energy-conscious performance, the WA15AY24AJ1NA is ideal for modern system upgrades and retrofit applications.
Performance
The WA15AY24AJ1NA combines a high-efficiency single-stage scroll compressor with a corrosion-resistant all-aluminum condenser coil, enabling consistent heat transfer even under heavy load. Rated up to 15.2 SEER2, this 2-ton model is optimized for climates where summer cooling demand is high but energy codes require cost-effective efficiency. The condenser features an advanced fan motor and blade design that supports high-performance airflow and improved system pressure balance. Whether matched with an air handler or coil, the system ensures responsive and efficient cooling throughout the season while minimizing compressor cycling and mechanical wear.
Smart Features
The WA15AY24AJ1NA is EcoNet® Smart Thermostat ready, offering compatibility with connected Rheem indoor components and zoning systems. When integrated, users gain access to remote diagnostics, performance monitoring, and energy tracking via the EcoNet app. This connectivity empowers homeowners to make informed comfort decisions and enables contractors or property managers to reduce downtime through predictive maintenance alerts. Additionally, the condenser supports integration with third-party smart thermostats, expanding options for zoning and automation across residential and light commercial applications.
Comfort & Noise
With a sound rating of approximately 73 dBA, the WA15AY24AJ1NA maintains a relatively quiet profile for its size and capacity. The cabinet’s sound-dampening base rails and optimized fan motor contribute to reduced vibration and operational noise, particularly during startup and shutdown cycles. High-efficiency airflow delivers steady indoor temperatures with minimal swing, helping maintain consistent comfort even in peak heat conditions. Combined with compatible indoor systems, this condenser supports improved humidity control, better air circulation, and a quieter outdoor experience.
Use Case Fit
This 2-ton outdoor unit is ideal for mid-size homes, rental properties, multifamily dwellings, and light commercial spaces in warmer climates. Its compact, horizontal-discharge design makes it especially useful in zero-lot-line homes or properties with limited exterior clearance. The WA15AY24AJ1NA is well-suited for states with high cooling loads, such as Florida, Texas, Arizona, and Georgia, where seasonal efficiency and reliability are critical. For contractors and specifiers, this unit offers straightforward compatibility with a range of indoor air handlers and coils, making it versatile for both new and replacement installations.
Value & Reliability
Built for longevity, the WA15AY24AJ1NA includes a powder-coated galvanized steel cabinet, single-row condenser coil, and corner-mounted access panels that simplify maintenance and service. Its scroll compressor design minimizes mechanical complexity while maximizing cooling consistency and durability. Rheem’s commitment to testing and engineering precision ensures the WA15AY condenser line meets performance expectations across diverse climate zones. Contractors benefit from simplified diagnostics and a design that prioritizes access to key components, supporting lower total cost of ownership over the unit's lifecycle.
Summary Wrap-Up
The Rheem WA15AY24AJ1NA delivers dependable cooling, energy efficiency, and smart-ready control in a 2-ton format that’s ideal for both residential and light commercial applications. Featuring up to 15.2 SEER2, a durable scroll compressor, and EcoNet® compatibility, this unit offers the features contractors trust and the performance homeowners demand. Its quiet operation, durable cabinet, and flexible design make it an excellent upgrade or specification choice for buyers prioritizing long-term value, lower energy bills, and future-ready HVAC performance.
