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 electrical contractors who need a 265V commercial PTAC with matched heat-strip electricals for per-room climate control.
Amana's PMC094J35AXXX is a 265V PTAC with a 3.7 kW electric heat strip, built for hospitality corridors, room additions, and multi-family properties where a hardwired or sub-base-fed commercial circuit is already in place. The chassis carries a 12 EER rating and 9,000 BTU/h cooling capacity, and it draws from the R-32 refrigerant platform noted in the manufacturer catalog. 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 WS900 series). Rough framing opening runs approximately 42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in minimum high.
- Voltage: 265V commercial circuit only. Operating range 239V minimum to 292V maximum.
- Total heat amps: 14.2A. MCA: 17.9A. MOP: 20A. Compressor-only draw: 4.5A / 750W.
- Power cord: 7-20P (265V NEMA configuration).
- Required: Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch. Neither is included — order separately.
- 265V units require factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses for overcurrent protection.
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included. Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included. Both must be purchased as separate line items.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits. If your property runs 230/208V, the matching chassis is the PMC093J, not this unit.
- This is a 265V-only configuration — do not confuse it with LCDI-cord products; LCDI power cords are used only on units rated under 250V, which does not apply here.
- Not a drop-in replacement for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
On 265V replacement jobs, the most common callback is a mismatched sub-base — crews grab whatever sub-base is on the shelf instead of verifying it's rated for 265V and compatible with the PMC094J chassis's electrical connector. Installing the wrong sub-base, or skipping the required PTSB4**E/PTPWHWK4 pairing, can leave the disconnect improperly rated for the 17.9A MCA draw, which is a fire risk under load. Before setting the sleeve, confirm sub-base voltage rating against the nameplate and verify fuse type against NEC Article 440 (motor-compressor and air conditioning equipment) requirements — cartridge-style time-delay fuses are factory-installed on 265V units for a reason; do not substitute standard breakers downstream. Document the sub-base model number on the work order so property management has a clean electrical record for the next PTAC swap.
Key Benefits
- 12 EER rating for the cooling cycle, per manufacturer catalog data.
- 318 CFM indoor airflow with 25-35 CFM of fresh air ventilation for occupied-space air exchange.
- 3.7 kW electric heat strip delivers 12,600 BTU/h of supplemental heat at 265V.
- R-32 refrigerant platform.
- Meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards.
- Fits industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve openings, simplifying retrofit into existing sleeve infrastructure.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Compatible with 265V circuits only, using the 7-20P NEMA plug configuration (or hardwired via PTPWHWK4).
- Fits standard 42-inch x 16-1/16-inch wall sleeve openings (WS900E, WS900QW, and compatible WS900-series sleeves).
- Requires an Amana-brand sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit with PSHW04A disconnect — sold separately, not included with this unit.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — for that voltage class, see the PMC093J sibling chassis.
- Wall Sleeve NOT included. Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included. Both are ordered as separate accessories.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom-depth sleeve openings — confirm sleeve series before ordering.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit is designed to fit the industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve opening (WS900E, WS900QW, and related WS900-series sleeves), but you need to order the sleeve and exterior grille as separate line items.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This 265V configuration with 3.7 kW electric heat has an MCA of 17.9 amps and requires a 20-amp maximum overcurrent protection device (MOP). It ships with a 7-20P power cord. This is a 265V-specific NEMA configuration and is not interchangeable with 230/208V plug types.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes. All 265V Amana PTAC models must be installed with either an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit paired with the PSHW04A disconnect switch. Neither is included with the unit and both 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 unit requiring cartridge-style time-delay fuses and a matched sub-base or hardwire kit. Installation electrical requirements of this kind are typically performed by a licensed electrician per local code. Exact warranty conditions are detailed in the warranty document in 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 used by the WS900E/WS900QW series. It is not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
