This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner and heater for hotel rooms, apartments, additions, or any room without central ductwork. It's built for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room cooling and heating on a standard 230/208V circuit.
The HEC073J25AXXX is a PTAC (Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner) with a single-stage electric heat strip, built for hospitality rooms, additions, and multi-family units where ductwork isn't practical. It meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards. Note: If you would like to review the manufacturer Product Specifications, Warranty, Brochure, etc., for this system, please refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above on this page.
Critical Fit & Power Requirements
- Wall sleeve opening: industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high.
- Voltage: 230/208V. Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Amperage: 11.2/10.1A total draw with heater running; MCA 14.1A; MOP 15A.
- NEMA Plug Type: 6-15P, factory-installed power cord with LCDI device per UL 484 (applies to units under 250V).
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included and must be ordered separately (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW, or an extra-deep variant).
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included and must be ordered separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK series).
- Not a drop-in replacement for non-standard sleeve openings — verify existing rough opening dimensions before ordering.
- Not compatible with 265V circuits or the 265V sub-base/hard-wire kit system. If you need a 265V commercial unit on this chassis, see the HEC074J sibling model.
The most common callback on a PTAC install isn't the compressor — it's water intrusion into the drywall below the sleeve. When you set the wall sleeve, pitch it 1/4 bubble toward the exterior using a torpedo level, per the framing diagram's rough opening spec of roughly 42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in minimum high. A sleeve set level or pitched inward lets condensate pool at the interior lip instead of draining outside, and that moisture works into the wall cavity over months, not days. This isn't optional — it's the standard practice property managers rely on to avoid mold remediation claims, and it's the first thing a warranty inspector checks when a unit is pulled for a leak complaint.
Key Benefits
- EER rating of 13.8/13.6 for efficient cooling performance at 230V/208V respectively.
- Single-stage 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip supplements cooling with supplemental heat down to 6,800-8,500 BTU/h depending on voltage.
- Dehumidification rate of 1.7 pints/hr helps manage humidity in occupied rooms.
- Fresh-air ventilation adjustable from 65-95 CFM for make-up air.
- R-32 refrigerant, a lower-GWP option compared to legacy refrigerants.
- Meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high wall sleeve opening.
- Compatible with 230/208V circuits via the factory-installed 6-15P power cord.
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included — order separately (WS900E, WS900QW, or extra-deep variants as needed).
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — order separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK series).

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high wall sleeve opening, but you'll need to order a sleeve (such as the WS900E or WS900QW) and an exterior grille separately.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This configuration (2.5/2.1 kW heat at 230/208V) requires a 15A circuit with a NEMA 6-15P plug, MCA 14.1A, and MOP 15A. It ships with a factory-installed power cord with an LCDI device per UL 484, since it operates under 250V.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This is a 230/208V unit, not a 265V model. It cannot be hardwired using the 265V sub-base or hard-wire kit. If you need a 265V commercial unit on this chassis, look at the HEC074J sibling model, which requires an Amana PTSB4**E sub-base or PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch (sold separately).
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
[NEEDS VERIFICATION] - Installation requirements tied to warranty validity are not specified in the provided catalog data. Refer to the warranty PDF in the Resources tab for exact terms.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes. This chassis is designed for the industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve opening. It is not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
Warranty & Registration
