Amana PTH153J35AXXX 15,000 BTU R32 PTAC Heat Pump with 3.5kW Backup Heat
The Amana PTH153J35AXXX is the largest heat pump in Amana's R32 PTAC lineup at Budget Heating. It delivers 14,600 BTU/h of cooling and 14,300 BTU/h of heat pump heating at 230V, so large rooms get efficient heat for most of the year, with a 3.5kW electric strip as backup. It also removes about 4.4 pints of moisture per hour, which helps in humid climates. The unit has no onboard controls and must be paired with a wired or wireless Amana thermostat, available in the drop-down. Integrated Bluetooth connects to the Amana mobile app for setup and diagnostics, and a NEMA 6-20 LCDI power cord is included.
Is a 15,000 BTU PTAC Heat Pump the Right Size?
The PTH153J35AXXX is built for suites, corner rooms, and large apartments where both the summer and winter loads are high. Its heat pump heating output nearly matches its cooling capacity, which means less reliance on the electric strip and lower operating costs through spring and fall.
When choosing this size, compare your heating and cooling needs. Large glass areas, exterior corner walls, high ceilings, and heavy occupancy all justify the extra capacity. In small or well-insulated rooms, a 12,000 BTU heat pump may give better humidity control and shorter payback.
Ideal for: Hotel suites, corner guest rooms, large apartments and condos, humid coastal properties, and open office or community spaces.
Thermostat required: No controls are built into this unit. Select the wired PHWT-A150H, the PHWT-A200 wired programmable thermostat, or the DSA02NO wireless thermostat from the drop-down.
Need more capacity? This is the largest heat pump in the series. For more cooling, consider the Amana 17,000 BTU R32 PTAC, PTC173J35AXXX, which uses electric heat.
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.
