This is a wall-sleeve heat pump and backup-heat unit for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions where central ductwork isn't available. It's built for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room heating and cooling in one chassis.
The HEH073J25AXXX is Amana's high-efficiency heat pump chassis (family HEH), pairing a reversing heat pump compressor with a 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip for supplemental and backup heating below the heat pump's balance point. This configuration is suited to hospitality rooms, additions, and multi-family units needing self-contained, per-room comfort control, and is built to meet or exceed 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.
- Wall sleeve opening: Industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high (Amana WS900E / WS900QW family). Wall Sleeve is NOT included and must be ordered separately.
- Exterior architectural grille (SGK, AGK, or PGK series) is NOT included and must be ordered separately.
- Voltage: 230/208V. Factory power cord is a 6-15P plug rated for 15A circuits, and ships with the LCDI (Leakage Current Detection Interrupter) device required by UL 484 for units under 250V.
- Electric heat installed: 2.5/2.1 kW, single stage. Total system draw with heat: 11.2/10.1A; MCA 14.1A; MOP (breaker) 15A.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not for 265V hardwire applications. This is a 230/208V unit — do not attempt to pair it with a 265V sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit (PTPWHWK4 / disconnect PSHW04A). Those accessories apply only to the 265V commercial sibling chassis, HEH074J.
- Not a drop-in replacement for non-standard or custom sleeve openings — verify existing sleeve dimensions before ordering this chassis.
The technical friction on any PTAC/PTHP retrofit is condensate drainage — the wall sleeve has to shed water outward, not let it pool against the drywall behind the chassis. Set the sleeve level side-to-side, then pitch it approximately 1/4 bubble toward the exterior wall using a torpedo level, per the framing guidance for this chassis (rough opening approx. 42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in minimum high, sleeve extending a minimum of 1/4 in beyond the outside wall face). Skipping this pitch is the single most common cause of drywall water intrusion and mold callbacks on PTAC/PTHP installs. On multi-unit hospitality properties, verify sleeve pitch on every opening during rough-in inspection — don't assume framing crews held tolerance — and document it as part of your property management punch list before drywall closes in behind the sleeve.
Key Benefits
- Heat pump operation delivers a COP of 3.9/3.9, reducing reliance on electric resistance heat in moderate outdoor conditions.
- EER of 13.3/13.7 for efficient cooling performance at 230V/208V respectively.
- Dehumidification rate of 1.7 pints/hour supports guest and occupant comfort in humid climates.
- Fresh air ventilation adjustable from 65-95 CFM for make-up air in tightly sealed rooms.
- R-32 refrigerant, a lower-GWP option compared to legacy refrigerants.
- Single-stage 2.5/2.1 kW backup heat strip supplements the heat pump automatically when outdoor temperatures drop below the heat pump's effective range.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Compatible with 230V and 208V circuits via the factory-installed 6-15P power cord (15A circuit).
- Fits industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high wall sleeve openings (e.g., Amana WS900E / WS900QW).
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 265V hardwire-only installations. Do not order a 265V sub-base (PTSB4**E) or hard-wire kit (PTPWHWK4/PSHW04A) for this model — those pair with the 265V commercial sibling, HEH074J.
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included — order separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — order separately.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings; verify existing opening dimensions first.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This PTHP fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high sleeve opening (e.g., Amana WS900E / WS900QW), but the sleeve and exterior architectural grille must be ordered as separate line items.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip installed, this configuration has a Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) of 14.1A and a Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) of 15A. It ships with a factory-installed 6-15P power cord.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This model is a 230/208V unit and is not rated for 265V. It is not compatible with 265V circuits and should not be paired with a 265V sub-base or hard-wire kit. If you need a 265V commercial version of this chassis, look at the HEH074J instead.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
[NEEDS VERIFICATION] - installer licensing requirements for warranty validity are not specified in the provided spec data. Refer to the warranty document in the Resources tab for exact terms.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes. This chassis fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high wall sleeve opening. It is not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings — confirm your existing sleeve dimensions before ordering.
