AMANA PTAC Heat Pump | 7000 BTU | HEH (HIGH EFFICIENCY) R32 J
Is it the right size for this room?
Amana doesn't publish a room size for this unit. From its 7,100 BTU/h of cooling, we estimate ≈ 105 to 170 sq ft. Choose your room's area.
It's the right size.
For a 130 to 175 sq ft room, this is the range we estimate for this unit: 7,100 BTU/h of cooling, 6,300 BTU/h of heat-pump heating and a heater of up to 5,000 W when the cold calls for it.
AirGreen estimate: Amana publishes no room size, so we apply the application ranges Trane publishes for its PTACs of the same cooling capacity. Our estimator confirms the exact area on site.
What it does, in numbers
$11.90
Cooling, all summer
Less than a 60 W light bulb
Bulbs left on day and night for a year. Cooling: 5 h a day for 40 days, the assumption used by Hydro-Québec's air-conditioning calculator. Same calculation for every line: wattage × hours × 11.142 ¢/kWh.
≈$101
Heating, all winter
≈ $8 less than baseboard heaters
Typical 138 sq ft room with one exterior wall, in Montréal: 982 kWh of heat per winter (Environment Canada 1991–2020 climate normals). The heat pump is counted only at 8 °C and warmer, where Amana rates its output; below that, the heater, at the price of a baseboard. If it keeps heating in colder weather, the bill goes down.
≈ $113 for the year, before tax. Winter is 89% of it. If your home stays in the first tier of Rate D in summer (7.065 ¢/kWh), cooling drops to $7.55.
Capacities and currents: Amana catalog MC-DPTAC 10-23 (October 2023) and manual IO-933A (December 2022). Power draw: 534 W in cooling (7,100 BTU/h ÷ EER 13.3), 470 W in heat-pump mode, 5,000 W on the 5 kW heater. Hydro-Québec Rate D in effect since April 1, 2026: 11.142 ¢/kWh second tier, before tax.
What you should know about this one
Published, verifiable facts, not brochure claims.
7,100What it really delivers in cooling
The name says 7,000 BTU: that's the unit's size class. Amana publishes 7,100 BTU/h at 230 V and at 208 V, the supply in many buildings: the capacity doesn't drop.
5,000 WThe heater that takes over
At Amana, the two digits after the series letter (the ** in HEH073J**AXXX) set the heater when ordering: 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 or 5.0 kW at 230 V, 1.3 to 4.1 kW at 208 V. At 5.0 kW it takes a 6-30P plug on 30 A; at 3.5 kW, a 6-20P on 20 A. It heats when the heat pump can no longer keep up.
13.3Efficiency above the standard model
Amana publishes an EER of 13.3 for this HEH, against 12.4 for the standard PTH of the same size. For the same capacity, it draws fewer watts in summer, and its COP of 3.9 (against 3.6) trims the winter too.
3.9The COP published at 8 °C
Amana publishes a heat-pump COP of 3.9: 6,300 BTU/h of heat at 230 V. Each kWh you pay for gives back 3.9 in heat, against 1 for the heater or a baseboard.
−7 °CWhen the heat pump hands over
Amana switches the unit from heat pump to the heater when the coil drops below 20 °F (−7 °C), or when the heat pump can't keep up on a two-stage thermostat.
1.7Pints of water it removes per hour
The dehumidification Amana publishes in cooling mode: 1.7 pints per hour. It's what keeps a room comfortable in summer without it turning clammy.
7⅝ inHow far it sticks into the room
Amana quotes a 7⅝ in deep front, one of the slimmest in the industry: the unit takes less space out of the room.
4 °CRoom freeze protection
As soon as the unit senses 40 °F (4 °C) or below, it starts the fan and the heater: an empty room won't freeze in winter.
It fits the standard 42 × 16 in sleeve
Amana sleeves have the industry-standard dimensions: 42 in wide, 16 ¹⁄₁₆ in high, 14 ⅛ in deep. Our estimator checks the sleeve and the grille in place before ordering.
What it needs on site
In a replacement, we check the outlet and the breaker first: they set the heater size you can use. Our estimator confirms the sleeve, the outlet and the slope before ordering.
