This is a wall-sleeve heat pump and backup-heat system 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 from a single chassis.
The HEH093J25AXXX is a 230/208V packaged terminal heat pump (PTHP) built for hospitality rooms, multi-family units, and room additions where ductwork isn't practical. It pairs a heat pump compressor with a 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip for backup heating below the heat pump's balance point, and the chassis meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency requirements. 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: Standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high (industry-standard PTAC/PTHP sleeve dimension).
- Voltage: 230/208V. Compatible with standard 230V or 208V residential/commercial circuits.
- Amperage: MCA 14.1A, MOP (breaker size) 15A, with the installed 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip.
- Power cord/plug: Factory-installed 6-15P NEMA plug with LCDI device per UL 484 (applies to all units under 250V).
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included — order separately (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW, or a compatible sleeve model).
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — order separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK series).
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 265V hardwire-only applications — see the 265V commercial sibling HEH094J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings without field verification.
The most common callback on a PTHP retrofit isn't the compressor — it's water intrusion around the sleeve. When you set the wall sleeve for this chassis, pitch it 1/4 bubble toward the exterior using a torpedo level, never dead level. A sleeve pitched flat or, worse, sloped inward will pool condensate against the interior drywall and rot the sill plate over a heating season, even though the drain kit (DK900D/DK900QW) is doing its job under normal load. Confirm the pitch after final shimming, not just after the rough set, since exterior stucco or brick crews will bump the sleeve during finish work. This is standard practice under most property management preventive-maintenance checklists and prevents warranty disputes over "unit leaking" service calls that are actually installation-pitch issues, not equipment defects.
Key Benefits
- Heat pump operation delivers 8,200/8,000 BTU of heating (230V/208V) without relying on resistance heat in moderate outdoor temperatures.
- 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip provides 8,500/6,800 BTU of backup heat for colder conditions or heat pump defrost cycles.
- EER of 13.0/13.2 and COP of 3.9/3.9 place this chassis in Amana's high-efficiency HEH family.
- Dehumidification rated at 2 pints/hr for shoulder-season humidity control without overcooling the room.
- Built-in fresh air vent (65-95 CFM) supports make-up air needs common in hospitality applications.
- R-32 refrigerant reduces global warming potential compared to legacy refrigerants used in older PTAC/PTHP chassis.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Compatible with 230V or 208V circuits via the factory-installed 6-15P NEMA plug.
- Fits standard 42-inch x 16-1/16-inch wall sleeve openings (WS900E, WS900QW, and other compatible standard-depth sleeves).
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not suitable for 265V hardwire-only applications — the 265V commercial version of this chassis is the HEH094J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A.
- Wall Sleeve NOT included — must be ordered separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included — must be ordered separately.
- Not a drop-in replacement for non-standard or custom-depth sleeve openings; verify existing sleeve dimensions before ordering.

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 sleeve opening (WS900E/WS900QW series and compatible sleeves).
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat installed, this configuration has an MCA of 14.1A and requires a 15A circuit (MOP). It ships with a factory-installed 6-15P power cord for 230/208V.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This model (HEH093J25AXXX) is a 230/208V unit and is not rated for 265V. The 265V commercial sibling of this chassis is the HEH094J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A.
