This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner and electric 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.
The HEC093J25AXXX is a 9,200 BTU packaged terminal air conditioner with a single-stage electric heat strip, built on Amana's HEC (High-Efficiency Cooler) chassis. It uses R-32 refrigerant and meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards. This chassis suits hospitality rooms, additions, and multi-family units where per-room, self-contained conditioning replaces central ductwork. 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: Standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high (industry-standard PTAC sleeve, e.g., Amana WS900E/WS900QW).
- Voltage: 230/208V. Minimum 197V, maximum 253V per manufacturer voltage limits.
- Total amperage with heater: 11.2/10.1A (230V/208V). MCA 14.1A, MOP 15A.
- Power cord/plug: 6-15P, factory-installed, with LCDI device per UL 484 (applies to all units under 250V).
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included and must be ordered separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included and must be ordered separately.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 265V hardwire or sub-base applications - the 265V commercial sibling of this chassis is the HEC094J, which requires a dedicated Amana sub-base or hard-wire kit. This unit's factory cord is not rated for that voltage class.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings outside 42 in x 16-1/16 in.
On a retrofit or new hospitality install, the most common callback on this chassis isn't the compressor — it's water staining on the interior drywall below the sleeve. The wall sleeve must be pitched slightly toward the exterior so condensate drains outside rather than pooling at the rear of the chassis. Set the sleeve level side-to-side and pitch it approximately 1/4 bubble toward the outside wall, verified with a torpedo level, before securing it in the rough opening (per the framing guidance for this sleeve family). Skipping this step lets condensate migrate back into the wall cavity over repeated cooling cycles, which shows up months later as drywall staining or mold — a much more expensive fix than five extra minutes with a level during rough-in. This pitch requirement is standard property-management practice for PTAC sleeve installs and should be documented as part of your commissioning checklist for the unit warranty file.
Key Benefits
- 9,200/9,000 BTU cooling capacity (230V/208V) with EER of 12.8/12.8 for efficient per-room operation.
- Single-stage 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip delivers 8,500 BTU (230V) or 6,800 BTU (208V) of supplemental heat.
- Dehumidification rate of 2 pints/hr helps manage room humidity independent of the thermostat setpoint.
- Fresh air ventilation adjustable from 65-95 CFM for make-up air in occupied spaces.
- R-32 refrigerant, a lower-GWP option consistent with current commercial refrigerant transitions.
- Meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency requirements for commercial HVAC equipment.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Compatible with 230/208V circuits via NEMA 6-15P plug, on a dedicated 15-amp branch circuit.
- Fits standard 42-inch x 16-1/16-inch wall sleeve openings, such as the Amana WS900E or WS900QW sleeve.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 265V hardwire-only applications — the 265V version of this chassis is the HEC094J, which requires an Amana sub-base or hard-wire kit and is not interchangeable with this unit's cord-and-plug configuration.
- Wall Sleeve NOT included — must be purchased separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included — must be purchased separately.
- Not a drop-in replacement for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This chassis fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high sleeve opening, such as the Amana WS900E or WS900QW.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This unit ships with a 6-15P power cord rated for a dedicated 15-amp, 230/208V circuit. MCA is 14.1 amps and MOP is 15 amps. The cord includes an LCDI device per UL 484, standard for units under 250V.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This is a 230/208V model and is not rated for 265V circuits. The 265V commercial version of this chassis is the HEC094J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A, plus factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses.
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 dimensions.
