You can identify your RetroAire RC85 unit by checking its model number and electrical specifications. The RC85 is a Downflow Ducted PTAC available in nominal capacities of 9,000 to 18,000 Btuh. It operates with energy efficiency ratings (E.E.R.) as high as 10.0. Electrical specifications include voltage options of 115V or 208/230V, with specific amperage and power ratings listed in the manual. Additionally, you can check the unit’s physical dimensions, wall sleeve installation requirements, and other design features such as its ability to duct air to an adjacent room.
