Upgrade to the Rheem 2.5 Ton R-454B AC

Finding the right air conditioner often comes down to hitting the sweet spot in size and efficiency. If a 2-ton unit is too small but a 3-ton unit feels like overkill, a Rheem 2.5 ton air conditioner might just be the perfect fit for your home.

The Rheem R-454B 2.5 Ton 15.2 SEER2 Straight Cool-A/C Split System offers a blend of modern efficiency and reliable cooling power. With the industry moving toward new standards, this system's use of R-454B refrigerant makes it a smart, future-proof investment for homeowners.

The Outdoor Powerhouse

The heart of this Rheem split system is the RA14AY30AJ1NA condenser. This unit delivers 30,000 BTUs of cooling power, driven by a reliable single-stage scroll compressor. While it is built to perform, it is designed to keep the noise down, running at about 71 decibels. It is also relatively compact, measuring roughly 33 inches wide and deep so that it won't take up your entire backyard.

Efficient Air Handling

Inside your home, the RH2TY3617STANNJ air handler circulates cool air throughout every room. This unit features a 1/2-horsepower MS-ECM motor, designed for consistent airflow and energy efficiency. It uses a standard 16 x 20 filter, making it easy to find replacements when it is time for maintenance. Measuring just 17.5 inches wide, this unit fits into tight utility spaces while delivering maximum comfort.

Understanding Straight Cool

It is critical to understand that this model is a Straight Cool system, meaning it is designed strictly for air conditioning and is not a heat pump. A heat pump can reverse its flow to heat your home in the winter, but this unit focuses entirely on cooling. However, if you live in a chilly region, you aren't out of luck; you can select an optional heat strip at purchase to provide electric heating when needed.

Professional Installation Recommended

While Budget Air Supply provides these systems at wholesale prices to the public, installing a central air system is complex. This specific Rheem split system requires handling high-voltage electrical connections (208/240V) and brazing refrigerant lines. To ensure your new equipment runs safely and reaches its 15.2 SEER2 efficiency rating, we always recommend having a certified HVAC professional handle the installation.
