Ruud RA15AY24AJ1NALHP Condensing Unit 2 Ton R454B 15 SEER2

Product Description

The RUUD RA15AY24AJ1NALHP is a 2-ton residential air-conditioning condensing unit operating on R454B refrigerant and rated at 15 SEER2 under current DOE testing standards. Part of the RUUD M1 series, this outdoor unit delivers 24,000 BTU/h of cooling capacity and is designed as the outdoor half of a split-system installation. Licensed HVAC technicians install this unit as part of a matched indoor/outdoor system. The R454B refrigerant charge reflects the current A2L low-GWP refrigerant transition, requiring technicians to use compatible equipment and follow updated handling procedures per EPA and local regulations.

This condensing unit is suited for residential split-system cooling applications where a 2-ton capacity is appropriate for the conditioned space. It is intended to be paired with a compatible air handler or furnace coil to form a complete cooling system. The M1 series designation indicates it is positioned as a standard-efficiency entry-level offering within the RUUD residential product lineup, making it a common replacement or new-construction choice for single-family homes and small multi-family units.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by an EPA Section 608-certified HVAC technician with equipment rated for A2L refrigerants, as R454B carries a mild flammability classification. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power before servicing the unit. Follow NEC requirements for disconnect sizing and wire gauge, and observe local mechanical codes for pad placement, clearances, and refrigerant line sizing. Do not use recovery or charging equipment that is not rated for A2L refrigerant service.
