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 electrical contractors who need self-contained, per-room heating and cooling on a 265V commercial circuit.
The PTH094J35AXXX is a packaged terminal heat pump (PTHP) built for hospitality and multi-family properties where per-room, self-contained climate control replaces central ductwork. It combines a heat pump compressor with 3.7 kW electric backup heat for cold-weather performance, and it meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards. 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).
- Voltage: 265V commercial circuit only. Voltage range 239V-292V.
- Amperage with heater installed: 14.2 total amps / MCA 17.9A / MOP 20A.
- NEMA Plug Type: 7-20P (matches a 265V, 20-amp receptacle).
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included — order separately (WS900E, WS900QW, or other listed sleeve model).
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — order separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK series).
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — for that voltage class, see the sibling model PTH093J (230/208V), not this unit.
- This 265V unit does not ship with an LCDI power cord — LCDI protection per UL 484 applies only to units rated under 250V. This unit uses factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses instead.
- 265V installation requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch — neither is included.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
On a 265V hospitality retrofit, the technical friction point is almost always the receptacle: crews sometimes grab a standard 230/208V sub-base off the truck instead of the Amana PTSB4**E rated for 265V, and the 7-20P plug simply won't seat correctly. That mismatch either forces a field improvisation (a fire hazard) or a return trip. Long-term prevention: verify the sub-base or hard-wire kit part number against the chassis voltage before rough-in, not after drywall is closed — the PTPWHWK4/PSHW04A combination is the only accepted hardwire alternative, and mixing components voids the overcurrent protection scheme. Cross-check the receptacle configuration against a NEMA Receptacle Chart before setting the sleeve, and confirm the sleeve itself is pitched roughly 1/4 bubble (per a torpedo level) toward the exterior wall so condensate drains outside rather than migrating back into the sill and drywall. This double-check — voltage/plug match plus drainage pitch — is standard property-management practice for avoiding both electrical callbacks and water-intrusion claims in the first heating season.
Key Benefits
- Heat pump operation delivers 8,200 BTU/h of heating without engaging electric heat, reducing energy draw in mild weather.
- 3.7 kW electric heat strip raises total heating output to 12,600 BTU/h at 265V for cold-climate backup.
- EER of 12.4 and COP of 3.5 support ASHRAE 90.1 compliance for commercial specification.
- Built-in ventilation feature (65-95 CFM) supports fresh make-up air in tightly sealed guest rooms.
- 2 pints/hour dehumidification helps manage humidity in occupied rooms without a separate dehumidifier.
- R-32 refrigerant reflects a lower-GWP refrigerant charge compared to older R-410A platforms.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit is designed to fit a standard 42-inch by 16-1/16-inch sleeve opening, but the sleeve itself, along with the exterior architectural grille, must be ordered separately.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 3.7 kW electric heat strip installed, this unit has an MCA of 17.9 amps and requires a 20-amp maximum overcurrent protection device (breaker). It ships with a 7-20P power cord for a matching 265V, 20-amp NEMA receptacle.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes, but it requires an Amana-brand sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit paired with a PSHW04A disconnect switch. Neither the sub-base nor the hard-wire kit is included with this unit and must be ordered separately.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
This is a 265V commercial circuit requiring cartridge-style time-delay fuses and correct sub-base or hardwire kit wiring. Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician familiar with NEC receptacle and overcurrent protection requirements. Refer to the Resources tab for the manufacturer's exact warranty conditions.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes. This chassis fits the industry-standard 42-inch wide by 16-1/16-inch high sleeve opening. It is not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
