Why we install Bosch
Inverter technology across the whole line
Bosch builds its IDS heat pumps around an inverter-driven compressor, the same idea as a ductless mini-split, in a system that uses your ductwork. Even the entry IDS Light modulates, which makes Bosch a strong value for quiet, even comfort.
Inverter on every model
Fully modulating compressors adjust output to match your home, minute by minute.
Cold-climate option
The IDS Ultra delivers up to 100% of its heating capacity down to 5°F.
Quiet and compact
Sound levels as low as 59 dBA from a compact outdoor unit.
10-year registered warranty
10 years on parts and the compressor when registered, plus an extra year through our Bosch dealer tier.

Warranty
10 years on the compressor and internal parts for IDS heat pumps in a one- or two-family home. As a Bosch Platinum-tier dealer, Graves registrations add one more year of parts coverage.
The Bosch 97% furnace: 10 years on parts and a lifetime heat exchanger when registered (5 and 20 years if not). The manufacturer warranty covers parts, not labor.
We register it for you
We register every system with the manufacturer for you right after install, so you get the longer registered warranty without filling out a thing.
Not sure which one fits your home?
We size every system to your house, show you good, better and best options side by side, and you approve the price before any work.
