In this video, we talk about the Bosch 20 SEER Inverter Heat pump, and discuss why it’s a unique product as well as its COP and other efficiency ratings. In this video we also compare the Bosch 20 SEER inverter to the Daikin Fit Enhanced Heat pump, and do a side by side comparison of its efficiency ratings some of the pros and cons of each unit. All in all the Bosch IDS Premium inverter is a great product and I think you’ll be surprised to see how it stacks up by comparison!

I've had my system for few years now with zero issues. 5 ton with a 3ton air handler. Using ecobee thermostat.

[Drieleven]

Brilliant! Thank you so much. Have watched several of your videos and theyve really connected the dots for me that contractors xoming out to our house have not. Not bashing them, just that your content is very clear and organized. Really helped me destress making a decision on which direction to go

[ericviele]

Great information. Just got the IDS 2.0 4 Ton and trying to get our thermostat best configured.
Calculating as you show TCx0.293/kW=COP, I'm thinking I'll set my cutover temp to 25 degrees instead of 32.

Thank you!

Bosch system is great. We had a 5 ton inverter system installed a few days ago. Can't say enough good things about it.

[chimaican]

Thanks for explaining how to calculate the COP data. I've been scouring the internet trying to figure out how to interpret the spec table and couldn't figure it out. Now that I have the theoretical COP, it should help me figure out the economic balance point to set where my heat pump / gas furnace temperature crossover point should be. :D

[dgolmsted]

Excellent video, super impressed with the level of detail you've presented. Thank you for breaking down that COP information; true story I was just looking at those Bosch spec sheets prior to watching this with the intent to compare this (IDS Premium Connected) against the Mitsubishi PUZ-HA24NHA (PVA indoor) and striking out due to the conversion which you have demystified so brilliantly. The Mitsu COP is rated 3.84 @ 47F and 2.14 @ 17F which tips the scales towards Bosch.

Thanks for this video, I’m in Indiana and I am planning making a Bosch system purchase. This information was helpful and the link you included on the tax credits 👍👍

I just came across your content and I think it's excellent! Very thorough and I love how you explain the math.

I live in Suffolk county New York which is on Long Island and we just had a major flood (82" of water) and I lost all my mechanicals. We had a hot water baseboard system for heating so I was considering going to a heat pump because we have Central air, ducted, and solar panels.
We have a 4 ton system compromised of a Rheem air handler and Ruud condenser that was installed in 2017 and running r410a refrigerant.

My HVAC mechanic had recommended the new Bosch 15 seer or 20 seer heat pump and said communication with the Rheem air handler wasn't an issue I just needed new thermostats as well. We would you supplemental heat strips to assist when the temperature drop below 30.

My question is, based off of the refrigerant plus the air handler, would it make sense to replace the air handler with a Bosch? Would this affect efficiency or would the Rheem air handler be sufficient and not worth the change to 100% Bosch system?

Because I've been working non-stop trying to get my house back together and get my family to a place where we can resume normal operations, I haven't been able to research and figured it would be better to get your opinion seeing as how you are very knowledgeable and experienced with many different types of systems.

Any advice is greatly appreciated and appreciate your time in addressing my question.

[keco]

Will you ever get your money back spending so much on these super high efficiency systems compared to the cheaper IDS lite and plus versions?

[joxerlee]

Ur timing of posting this video is perfect as I just ordered an install of the “connected” version of this heat pump yesterday with install this Thursday! I live in Northern California where the weather is usually pretty mild and I also have solar so was thinking this would be a great system to replace my 30 year old gas furnace HVAC system. Have been looking at units from GE and Trane but decide on this unit. I have an ecobee so the info regarding the setting on that working with the Bosch is good to know. I plan to submit for the IRA tax credits also but unfortunately my electricity provider PG&E is not providing any rebates. I just subscribed and liked this video after seeing this great info! Keep up the good work.

[ivlis]

Thank you for a very informative video. I have this Bosch system installed this year. I'm not sure how it can work at -4F, in my case it really starts to struggle at ~30F when the furnace kicks in. At this point the condenser is already covered with ice. Otherwise a nice system. One thing to take in mind is that the bearings in the condenser are pretty loud and make grinding noise when at full capacity.

[bdh-fb]

Incredibly informative. I am replacing a 17 yo Rheem heat pump with either a Mitsubishi hyper heat or a Bosch IDS Premium. I live in Bend, Oregon, hot summers and cold winters. Backup are heat strips. House has a Honeywell 2 zone system. Any recommendation based on efficiency, noise, ability to heat at low temperatures?

[pat]

Would be nice if your video talked about how this inverter system is different from others and why it can use a non-communicating thermostat.

[zachbrinker]

The Bosch class that was put on at my company they told us that Nest thermostats don't work together very well and advised us to not use them on bosch systems.

[Imperialgloryc]

One thing I would point out is that seems like Bosch stated that Nest is not supported for their heat pump, do you know what’s the reason? Or if Nest will work with Bosch heat pump with Bosch air handler?

[samusa]

Thanks, I will check HVAC Bee Woodstock GA and update you😊

[thomascook]

One of the selling points for the Daikin is the warranty. How does that compare?

[videos]

Thanks for the video! so when using a basic thermostat, does the bosch know when to quit using heat pump and switch to emergency heat on its own?

[andreysivchuk]

How to compare this unit to Carrier similar brand? Quality? Reliability? Customer Thanks

[mikesmith]

Are you now leaning towards Bosch from your favorite Daikin fit ?? I love my Daikin Fit 17.1 and look forward to many years of trouble free heating & cooling here in Florida. The fact I got 3, 100 in rebates and tax credits was a plus.
