Amana Distinctions DCP093J35BA 9,000 BTU R32 PTAC with 3.5kW Electric Heat
The Amana Distinctions DCP093J35BA is a 9,000 BTU R-32 PTAC for standard guest rooms and studio apartments. It delivers 9,200 BTU/h of cooling and up to 430 CFM of airflow, the strongest airflow among the 9,000 BTU PTACs on this site. A 3.5kW electric heater handles winter. Operation is simple: a 7-button control panel is built in, so guests and tenants can run the unit without a wall thermostat. Wired thermostat control is an optional upgrade from the drop-down. An LCDI power cord is included, and gold fin coils with dual fan motors round out a durable, quiet unit for hotels, landlords, and property managers.
Is a 9,000 BTU PTAC the Right Size?
The 9,000 BTU class is the most common PTAC size for standard hotel rooms and studio apartments. The DCP093J35BA pairs that capacity with 430 CFM of high-speed airflow, which helps it push conditioned air across a room and recover quickly after doors are opened.
Every room's load is different. Big windows facing the afternoon sun, top-floor rooms under a hot roof, and rooms with kitchenettes or extra occupants may call for the 12,000 BTU model. Shaded interior rooms may only need the 7,000 BTU unit.
Ideal for: Standard hotel guest rooms, studio and efficiency apartments, assisted living rooms, dormitories, and small professional offices.
Onboard controls included: No wall thermostat is required. The 7-button panel on the unit handles daily operation, and an optional wired thermostat such as the PHWT-A200 programmable wired thermostat is available in the drop-down.
Need more capacity? Step up to the Amana Distinctions 12,000 BTU R32 PTAC, DCP123J35BA for larger rooms and higher heat loads.
Recommended room applications are general guidelines only. Actual requirements depend on room size, insulation, window area, sun exposure, occupancy, and local climate. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.
