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 facility engineers who need self-contained, per-room heating and cooling on a 265V commercial electrical circuit.
This system pairs an Amana heat pump chassis with 2.5 kW of auxiliary electric heat on a 265V commercial circuit, intended for hospitality corridors, additions, or multi-family units where the electrical infrastructure is already built for 265V PTAC/PTHP loads. AHRI-published cooling capacity is 7,300 BTU/h with a 12.4 EER; heat pump heating is rated at 6,500 BTU/h with a 3.5 COP, and the auxiliary strip brings total heating capacity to 8,500 BTU/h at 265V. 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 (industry-standard PTAC sleeve dimension).
- Voltage: 265V commercial circuit only. Voltage window: 239V minimum / 292V maximum.
- Amperage: Total heater amps 9.7A; MCA 12.2A; MOP 15A (cartridge-style time-delay fuses, factory-installed).
- NEMA plug: 7-20P (factory power cord).
- Wall Sleeve and Exterior Architectural Grille are sold separately and are NOT included with this unit.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — for a 230/208V version of this chassis, use sibling model PMH073J instead.
- Does not ship with an LCDI power cord — LCDI protection (UL 484) applies only to units rated under 250V; this 265V unit uses standard factory cord and plug protection instead.
- 265V installs require an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hardwire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A — neither is included.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings — confirm existing sleeve dimensions before ordering.
On 265V hospitality retrofits, the most common callback isn't the compressor — it's water tracking down the interior wall six months after install. When the sub-base and sleeve are mounted level side-to-side but flat front-to-back, condensate rolls backward into the wall cavity instead of out the drain channel. Pitch the sleeve 1/4 bubble toward the exterior wall using a torpedo level before securing it, per the standard PTAC framing detail. This keeps condensate draining outboard and prevents drywall saturation and mold claims down the line — a detail property management teams should confirm during final walk-through inspection, not after the guest complains.
Key Benefits
- 7,300 BTU/h cooling with a 12.4 EER for efficient per-room load matching.
- Heat pump operation rated at 3.5 COP, backed by 2.5 kW auxiliary electric heat for cold-weather recovery.
- Fresh air ventilation damper rated 25-35 CFM for makeup air in tightly sealed rooms.
- 339 CFM cooling airflow / 378 CFM heating airflow for consistent room circulation.
- R-32 refrigerant chassis, meeting or exceeding ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards.
- Fits industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in sleeve openings — no custom carpentry required on standard retrofits.

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 wall sleeve opening (WS900E/WS900QW standard sleeve family), but the sleeve itself, the condensate drain kit, and the exterior grille must be purchased separately.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This 265V configuration with the 2.5 kW electric heat strip has a Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) of 12.2A and requires Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) of 15A, using factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses. The factory power cord uses a NEMA 7-20P plug.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes, but it requires an Amana brand sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the Amana hardwire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A. Neither is included with this unit and both must be ordered separately.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
265V circuits and sub-base/hardwire terminations fall under NEC electrical code and should be installed by a licensed electrician. [NEEDS VERIFICATION] on whether Amana's written warranty explicitly conditions coverage on licensed-installer sign-off - confirm exact terms in the warranty document under the Resources tab.
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. The rough framing opening should be approximately 42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in minimum high, per the standard framing diagram.
Warranty & Registration
Manufacturer badge data confirms a 1-Year Repair/Replace warranty and a 5-Year Parts Limited Warranty on this chassis. Exact terms — including any distinctions between residential and commercial hospitality usage — are defined in the warranty document under the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above. Review that document before install, especially if this unit is going into a commercial hospitality property, since usage classification can affect coverage terms. If anything in the warranty PDF is unclear, ask us before you order — we always reply back.
