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 heating and cooling with electric heat backup for cold-weather days.
The PMH073J25AXXX is a 230/208V packaged terminal heat pump (PTHP) designed for hospitality guest rooms, multifamily units, and room additions where ductwork isn't practical. It combines a heat pump compressor with a 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip for backup heating below the heat pump's effective 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 opening: Standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high — sleeve sold separately.
- Voltage: 230/208V. Amperage (with electric heat): 11.2/10.1A total; MCA 14.1A; MOP 15A.
- Power cord / plug: 6-15P (NEMA 6-15R receptacle required). Ships with LCDI power cord per UL 484 (applies to all units under 250V).
- Wall Sleeve NOT included. Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included. Both must be ordered separately.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 265V circuits or 265V sub-bases/hard-wire kits. The 265V commercial version of this chassis is the PMH074J, which requires its own Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A — none of that hardware applies to this 230/208V unit.
- Not a drop-in replacement for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
Condensate management is the number one long-term failure point on any PTAC/PTHP sleeve install. Pitch the sleeve 1/4 bubble toward the outside wall — the framing diagram calls for a rough opening of approximately 42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in minimum high, with the sleeve extending a minimum of 1/4 in beyond the outside wall face. Check the pitch with a torpedo level before securing the sleeve to framing, front-to-back and side-to-side. Skipping this pitch check lets condensate track backward into the wall cavity instead of draining outward, which leads to drywall saturation and mold claims months after installation — a callback that costs far more than the two minutes it takes to level and re-check. This is standard property-management best practice for hospitality PTAC rollouts and should be documented on the install checklist alongside the electrical verification (NEMA 6-15R receptacle match to the unit's 6-15P cord) before the unit is powered on.
Key Benefits
- Heat pump operation delivers 6,200/6,100 BTU of heating from the compressor alone (230V/208V), reducing reliance on electric resistance heat in mild cold.
- 2.5/2.1 kW backup electric heat strip extends heating capacity to 8,500 BTU (230V) / 6,800 BTU (208V) when outdoor temperatures drop below heat pump efficiency range.
- EER of 12.6/12.7 and COP of 3.6/3.6 reflect efficient cooling and heating performance for continuous-duty applications.
- Fresh air ventilation of 25-35 CFM supports make-up air needs in tightly sealed guest rooms.
- R-32 refrigerant with a single-stage heat strip design simplifies field electrical troubleshooting.
- Meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards for commercial and multifamily specification compliance.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit fits the industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in sleeve opening (WS900E / WS900QW and related sleeve models).
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This configuration ships with a 6-15P power cord and requires a minimum circuit ampacity of 14.1A with maximum overcurrent protection of 15A. Confirm your receptacle matches a NEMA 6-15R before installation.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This model is a 230/208V unit only. It is not compatible with 265V circuits. The 265V commercial sibling of this chassis is the PMH074J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
[NEEDS VERIFICATION] — Exact installer-licensing requirements for warranty validity are not confirmed in the provided specification 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 sleeve opening. It is not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
