7,400 BTU Through-The-Wall Air Conditioner and Heat Pump - All-Season

Our review of this thru-the-wall unit finds it best for small rooms where year-round climate control matters. The AMANA 7,400 BTU 230-Volt/208-Volt Through-The-Wall Air Conditioner and Heat Pump with 3.5 kW Electric Heat delivers straightforward cooling and reliable supplemental heating in a single cabinet, making it a solid choice for apartments, home offices, or bedrooms that need a compact permanent installation. Its primary appeal is practical versatility: the unit cools in summer and runs as a heat pump with 3.5 kW electric heat in colder months, so one device covers seasonal needs without separate systems.

Key Features

• Cooling Capacity: 7,400 BTU cooling output offers effective temperature control for small rooms without oversized waste.
• Dual Voltage Design: Built for 230-Volt/208-Volt electrical service so it fits typical thru-the-wall circuits in many installations.
• Heat Pump plus Electric Heat: Integrated heat pump provides efficient heating and the 3.5 kW electric heat delivers dependable supplemental warmth when outdoor temperatures drop.
• Thru-the-Wall Installation: Permanent wall installation frees up window space and provides a cleaner look than a window unit.
• Year-Round Use: Designed to switch between cooling and heating modes so one unit handles seasonal comfort needs.

Who It's For

This model is aimed at people who need a permanent, wall-mounted solution for a single small room such as a bedroom, office, or studio. It is especially useful where window installation is impractical or where freeing a window is preferred, and for homes with 230-Volt/208-Volt service that can safely support the unit.

It is not the best choice for large open-plan areas or whole-house heating; buyers who need heavy-duty capacity or multi-room zoning should look at larger systems or dedicated furnaces and central air. Also, those without suitable electrical supply or wall sleeve provisions may prefer a standard window unit or a professional HVAC upgrade.
