This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner and electric-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 on a standard 230/208V circuit.
The PMC093J35AXXX is a 9,000 BTU PTAC with electric heat, built on Amana's PMC chassis for hospitality, multi-family, and room-addition applications where individual climate control per room matters. Cooling and heating performance figures on this page reflect factory-rated dual-voltage operation at 230V and 208V. 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: Industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high.
- Voltage: 230/208V (dual-rated; slashed values are 230V/208V ratings).
- Total amps with heat: 15.5/14.1A. MCA: 19.5A. MOP (breaker size): 20A.
- Power cord / plug: 6-20P (NEMA 6-20), shipped with LCDI device per UL 484 (applies to all units under 250V).
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included — sold separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — sold separately.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 265V hardwire or sub-base installations — that configuration belongs to the PMC094J 265V commercial sibling chassis, not this unit.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard (custom) sleeve openings.
The most common callback on new PTAC installs is a drywall stain below the sleeve within the first heating season — not a compressor failure. The sleeve must pitch toward the outside wall, not just sit level side-to-side, or condensate backs up into the room-side track and wicks into the sill and drywall over time. Set the sleeve level left-to-right, then check the front-to-back pitch with a torpedo level — you want roughly 1/4-bubble of slope toward the exterior, per Amana's framing guidance for this chassis. On the electrical side, confirm the receptacle is a NEMA 6-20R matched to the unit's factory 6-20P cord before the drywall goes up; a mismatched receptacle is a repeat return and rework driver on multi-unit hospitality jobs. Document the pitch check and receptacle match on the rough-in inspection sheet — most property management punch lists require both before final cover.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Compatible with 230/208V circuits via NEMA 6-20 plug and matching 6-20R receptacle.
- Fits standard 42-inch x 16-1/16-inch wall sleeve openings, including WS900E and WS900QW series sleeves.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not suitable for 265V hardwire-only applications — the PTSB4**E sub-base and PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit with PSHW04A disconnect are for the 265V PMC094J chassis, not this unit.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This chassis fits a standard 42-inch x 16-1/16-inch wall sleeve opening (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW, and related Amana sleeve models).
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This unit ships with a 6-20P power cord. MCA is 19.5A and MOP (maximum overcurrent protection / breaker size) is 20A, based on the 3.5/3.0 kW electric heat configuration at 230/208V.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This is a 230/208V model. It is not rated for 265V circuits and cannot use the Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A, which apply only to 265V models. For a 265V commercial application, refer to the PMC094J chassis.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes. This chassis is designed for the industry-standard 42-inch wide x 16-1/16-inch high sleeve opening. Confirm your rough opening (approximately 42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in minimum high) before ordering.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
This unit requires matching to a dedicated 230/208V, 20A circuit with the correct NEMA 6-20 receptacle. [NEEDS VERIFICATION] on whether a licensed electrician/HVAC professional is a stated warranty condition — refer to the warranty PDF in the Resources tab for exact terms.
Warranty & Registration
This unit is covered by a 1-Year Repair/Replace warranty and a 5-Year Parts Limited Warranty. Exact terms, including any distinctions between residential and commercial hospitality usage, are detailed in the warranty PDF available in the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above — refer to that document for full coverage conditions before installation or claim submission.
