Amana PTC123J35AXXX 12,000 BTU R32 PTAC Air Conditioner with 3.5kW Electric Heat
The Amana PTC123J35AXXX is the mid-size workhorse of Amana's R32 PTAC line. It delivers 11,900 BTU/h of cooling at 230V with an 11.4 EER, plus a 3.5kW electric heater for cold-weather comfort. It is designed to be run by a wall thermostat rather than buttons on the unit, so choose a wired or wireless Amana thermostat from the drop-down when you order. Built-in Bluetooth pairs with the Amana mobile app so installers can configure the unit and pull diagnostics quickly, and a NEMA 6-20 LCDI cord comes in the box. It is a smart pick for hotel king rooms, one-bedroom apartments, and offices that have outgrown a 9,000 BTU unit.
Is a 12,000 BTU PTAC the Right Size?
The 12,000 BTU class covers the broad middle ground between compact studios and large suites. With 330 CFM of high-speed airflow, the PTC123J35AXXX moves noticeably more air than the 9,000 BTU model, which helps it reach the corners of longer rooms and recover faster after a door has been left open.
Sizing should account for more than floor area. Rooms with kitchenettes, large glass areas, southern or western exposure, or high occupancy put more heat into the space. Well-shaded rooms in mild climates may be fine with a smaller unit, so ask about your conditions if you're unsure.
Ideal for: Hotel king and double-queen rooms, one-bedroom apartments, assisted living suites, classrooms, and mid-size offices.
Thermostat required: The PTC123J35AXXX has no controls on the unit. Add the wired PHWT-A150H, the PHWT-A200 programmable wired thermostat, or the DSA02NO wireless thermostat from the drop-down.
Need more capacity? Step up to the Amana 15,000 BTU R32 PTAC, PTC153J35AXXX for larger rooms, suites, or spaces with heavy moisture 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I choose the PTC123J35AXXX over the 9,000 BTU unit?
Choose the 12,000 BTU model when the room is larger, gets strong afternoon sun, has a kitchenette, or regularly holds more people. It adds about 2,700 BTU/h of cooling and 40 more CFM of airflow than the PTC093J35AXXX.

The drop-down offers three Amana options: the PHWT-A150H wired non-programmable, the PHWT-A200 wired programmable, and the DSA02NO wireless non-programmable thermostat. One of them is required because the unit has no built-in controls.
