Amana - An Industry-Leading Brand
From the beginning, every Amana brand product has been made with the same core philosophy: to provide their customers with high-quality products that are reliable, meet their needs, and last longer than the rest. And they keep that philosophy firmly in mind as they build their industry-leading Amana brand Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners (PTACs) and other heating and cooling products. Whether you are in the hotel/hospitality industry or provide assisted living services, Amana brand PTACs are designed to simplify your business with plain-and-simple product durability and advanced energy management features, while helping you to create the best environmental experience possible for your customer. Keeping these promises is top-priority through all stages of the production of Amana brand PTACs, from idea development through to finished product production. While they update the look of their Amana brand PTACs periodically, the components and internal assembly represent the result of a gradual evolution from the first Amana brand PTAC manufactured over 30 years ago. They focus on continual product improvement; the only new product concepts that make the cut are those that deliver valuable customer benefits. Available at AJ Madison.
How to Choose a Room Air Conditioner
Compared to large capacity central units, room air conditioners have several advantages. The initial cost of a room air conditioning unit is significantly lower than the cost of central air. Because room air conditioners are designed for cooling small spaces, operating costs are reduced. And, room air conditioners can provide personalized temperature and humidity controls that central systems cannot.
Calculating Cooling Capacity
Cooling capacity is the critical factor in properly selecting a room air conditioner. Cooling capacity is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) and typical models will range in capacity from 5,000 BTUs to 28,500 BTUs.
Choosing an undersized unit will overwork the unit and it will not cool properly. Choosing an oversized unit will cost more to buy and operate and it will not dehumidify properly.
We can help you to calculate capacity. Be prepared to provide specific information on:
- Room Dimensions
- A simple floor plan to show the location of doors and north-facing windows
- The number of people it will serve
- Sources of heat such as lamps, TV and appliances
- An explanation of what's above the intended room
- Your insulation provisions
Cooling Capacity by Room Size
Measure the length and width of the area to be cooled. Multiply the length by the width to determine square footage or square meters. When cooling rooms with uninsulated ceilings, great rooms, or southern or western sun exposures - step up to the next BTU size.
| Room Size | BTU |
|
| Sq. Ft. | Sq. m | |
| 150 | 14 | up to 5,000 |
| 165 | 15 | 5,200 |
| 216 | 20 | 6,000 |
| 350 | 33 | 8,000 |
| 425 | 39 | 9,000 |
| 500 | 46 | 10,000 |
| 640 | 60 | 14,000 |
| 900 | 84 | 15,100 |
| 1,110 | 103 | 18,000 |
| 1,170 | 109 | 18,500 |
| 1,435 | 133 | 22,000 |
| 1,672 | 154 | 25,000 |
| 1,960 | 182 | 28,500 |

Rated 5 out of 5 by Denan Room Airconditioner
It is in a 150 sq.ft. room with an outside door and one window. The airconditioner is quite adequate in the cooling mode. I have not used it the heat mode. The controls are friendly. It comes with a remote, but I do not use it at this time. The noise level is quite low. I say Amana did a good job and it performs as advertised.

We started installing these in some very harsh environments at some or our out buildings three years ago and finished deployment this year. So far they have been flawless...

Rated 1 out of 5 by YT 5-year warranty covers only the refrigerent
I have had this unit for just over a year and have not abused it in any way. It worked ok--not overly quiet or even, but not bad to keep the nursery comfortable when we lower the AC or Heat in the rest of the house. Last night it started making a horrible clanking noise which must be the fan malfunctioning or hitting something so we checked with the company on the warranty to find it only covers the sealed components. so now we have a $500+ drafty piece of metal sticking out of our baby's wall.

Rated 5 out of 5 by desert girl Very Nice Unit
This unit is easy to install, works great, looks great, and I highly recommend it. It replaced an older Amana combination unit that I had which served me well for 12 years. I expect this one will do the same. The remote control is a real plus because we have it installed in a wall that is difficult for us to reach.
