This is a wall-sleeve 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 a factory-matched electric heat strip.
The PMC093J25AXXX is a 9,000 BTU packaged terminal air conditioner with a factory-matched 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip, built for hospitality rooms, additions, and multi-family units where ductwork isn't practical. It carries a 12.3/12.1 EER rating and meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1. 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 (fits WS900E / WS900QW series sleeves)
- Voltage: 230/208V — not compatible with 115V circuits
- Total heater amps: 11.2/10.1A; MCA 14.1A; MOP 15A
- NEMA plug: 6-15P, factory-installed LCDI power cord per UL 484 (applies to all units under 250V)
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included — purchase separately (WS900E, WS900QW, or other WS900 series sleeve)
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — purchase separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK series)
- Not compatible with 265V service. The 265V commercial sibling is chassis PMC094J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A — do not attempt to convert this 230/208V unit
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings
The technical friction on any PTAC replacement job is condensate drainage through the wall sleeve, not the chassis itself. Field crews commonly re-set a sleeve dead level because it "looks right," but a level sleeve traps condensate against the back wall and drywall over time. Pitch the sleeve toward the outside by roughly 1/4 bubble on a torpedo level before securing it in the rough opening — this is the standard called out for the WS900 series sleeve family. That slight outward pitch moves condensate to the exterior weep instead of into the wall cavity, which is what actually causes drywall rot and mold claims months after installation, not a warranty defect in the chassis. This matches standard property management punch-list practice for PTAC sleeve sign-off before chassis installation.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately from the PMC093J25AXXX chassis. This unit fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high sleeve opening (WS900E / WS900QW series).
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip installed, this unit has an MCA of 14.1A and requires a 15A maximum overcurrent protection (MOP) device. It ships with a factory-installed 6-15P power cord (NEMA 6-15) for a 230/208V circuit.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This chassis (PMC093J) is rated 230/208V only. The 265V commercial version of this chassis is sold as PMC094J and requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A. Do not attempt to wire this 230/208V unit for 265V service.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
Exact installation and warranty requirements are detailed in the manufacturer warranty documentation. Refer to the Resources (System Manuals and Warranty) Tab above for the specific 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.
Warranty & Registration
This unit is backed by a 1-Year Repair/Replace warranty and a 5-Year Parts Limited Warranty. Commercial hospitality use may carry different terms than residential use — the exact terms, registration requirements, and any usage-based limitations are detailed in the manufacturer warranty PDF.
