Amana PTH093J35AXXX 9,000 BTU R32 PTAC Heat Pump with 3.5kW Backup Heat
The Amana PTH093J35AXXX is a 9,000 BTU R-32 PTAC heat pump that heats and cools compact rooms efficiently. It provides 8,200 BTU/h of heat pump heating at a 3.6 COP and switches to its 3.5kW backup heat strip when more heat is needed. With a 12.4 EER in cooling, it is the most efficient unit in this Amana R32 series. The unit has no onboard controls and runs from a wired or wireless wall thermostat, which you can add from 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. It is well suited to properties that want lower heating costs in guest rooms, studios, and small offices.
Is a 9,000 BTU PTAC Heat Pump the Right Size?
The PTH093J35AXXX is sized for small, single-zone spaces. In cooling it delivers 9,000 BTU/h at both 230V and 208V. In heating, the heat pump supplies 8,200 BTU/h at 230V and uses far less electricity than resistance heat, while the 3.5kW strip covers colder conditions.
Heat pump sizing depends on both cooling and heating loads. Rooms in colder climates, rooms with lots of exterior wall or glass, and spaces with poor insulation will lean more on the backup strip. Rooms with heavy sun or occupancy may need a larger model for summer.
Ideal for: Standard hotel rooms, studio apartments, senior living units, dorm rooms, and small offices that need efficient year-round heating and cooling.
Thermostat required: The PTH093J35AXXX has no onboard controls. Add the wired PHWT-A150H, the PHWT-A200 2H/2C programmable thermostat, or the DSA02NO 2H/1C wireless thermostat from the drop-down.
Need more capacity? Step up to the Amana 12,000 BTU R32 PTAC heat pump, PTH123J35AXXX for larger rooms with higher heating and cooling 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
How does the PTH093J35AXXX heat a room?
It heats primarily with its reversing heat pump, which supplies 8,200 BTU/h at 230V. When more heat is required, the 3.5kW electric strip provides backup.
What is the heating COP of the PTH093J35AXXX?
Amana rates the heat pump at a 3.6 COP at both 230V and 208V, meaning it delivers about 3.6 units of heat for every unit of electricity in heat pump mode.
What happens if the heat pump can't provide heat?
Amana heat pump PTACs include Automatic Emergency Heat, which switches to the 3.5kW electric heater so the room stays warm.
Which thermostat works best with this heat pump?
All three drop-down options support 2 stages of heat: the PHWT-A150H wired, the PHWT-A200 wired programmable (2H/2C), and the DSA02NO wireless (2H/1C). One is required, as there are no controls on the unit.
What makes the PTH093J35AXXX quiet enough for guest rooms?
It uses a tangential indoor fan, a two-speed indoor motor, and a two-speed outdoor fan, and it carries an STC 29 sound transmission rating.
Can the PTH093J35AXXX replace an older 9,000 BTU PTAC heat pump?
In most cases, yes, if the existing sleeve is the industry-standard 42" x 16" size and in good condition. Confirm your receptacle matches the included NEMA 6-20 cord, or contact us with your old model number.
