This is a wall-sleeve heat pump air conditioner and heater 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 climate control with heat pump efficiency backed by electric heat for colder days.
The HEH093J35AXXX is an Amana 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 3.5/3.0 kW electric heat strip for backup heating below the heat pump's efficient operating range, and it 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 requirement: Industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high opening (WS900E / WS900QW family).
- Voltage: 230/208V. Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Amperage with electric heat: 15.5/14.1 total amps; MCA 19.5A; MOP (breaker) 20A.
- NEMA Plug Type: 6-20P, factory-installed LCDI power cord 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 suitable for 265V hardwire installations. The 265V commercial sibling chassis (HEH094J) requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A — none of which apply to or are included with this 230/208V unit.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings; verify sleeve dimensions before ordering.
The most common callback on PTHP installs isn't the compressor — it's water intrusion around the sleeve. When you set the wall sleeve, pitch it approximately 1/4 bubble toward the outside wall using a torpedo level. This slight outdoor-facing slope routes condensate away from the drywall cavity and off the discharge end instead of pooling and wicking into the framing, where it causes rot and mold callbacks months later. Confirm level side-to-side and pitch front-to-back before sealing the sleeve into the rough opening (approx. 42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in minimum high per the framing diagram), and always cross-check that the receptacle you're wiring matches the unit's NEMA 6-20 plug configuration — mismatched receptacles on 230/208V circuits are a leading cause of field returns and violate NEC receptacle-matching requirements for fixed appliance circuits.
- Heat pump operation delivers heating with less electric-resistance draw than heat-strip-only PTAC units, reducing per-room energy costs in moderate climates.
- 3.5/3.0 kW backup electric heat strip covers colder days when heat pump output alone isn't sufficient.
- Built-in fresh air ventilation (65-95 CFM) supports make-up air needs in hospitality and multi-family applications.
- Dehumidification rated at 2 pints/hour for supplemental moisture control.
- R-32 refrigerant.
- Meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit is designed to fit an industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high wall sleeve opening, such as the Amana WS900E or WS900QW.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This 230/208V configuration with the 3.5/3.0 kW electric heat strip has a Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) of 19.5A and requires a 20A maximum overcurrent protection (MOP) breaker. It ships with a factory-installed 6-20P power cord and NEMA 6-20 plug configuration.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This is a 230/208V model and is not rated or wired for 265V circuits. 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, none of which are included with, or applicable to, this 230/208V unit.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
[NEEDS VERIFICATION] Installer licensing requirements are not stated in the provided specification data. Refer to the warranty document in the Resources tab for exact installation requirements.
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 without the appropriate Amana sleeve accessory.
