Cool and Heat #LikeABosch with Bosch Climate 5000 Series Heat Pumps

Bosch Home Comfort, a leading source of high-quality heating, cooling and hot water systems, has unveiled a new R-454B version of its Bosch Climate 5000 Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps in compliance with low GWP A2L refrigerant requirements. This latest model will leverage a low GWP R-454B refrigerant while continuing to offer a simple and seamless installation, making it easy and effortless to cool and heat #LikeABosch.

Designed for effortless installation without the need for ductwork, Bosch mini-splits offers efficient heating and cooling with whisper-quiet operation. These systems also include a factory-installed A2L Sensor on the evaporator coil that directly connects to the indoor unit’s control base. The quiet-performing condenser can power up to six indoor air handlers to offer a multi-zone, whole house solution for homeowners.

In addition, the Climate 5000 Ductless Mini-Splits series also features infrared technology known as the Intelligent Eye. Implemented on the exterior unit, the Intelligent Eye is used to sense when people are inside the room to offer increased automated temperature controls. If the room is empty, the Intelligent Eye technology will automatically ease off the compressor speed in an effort to conserve energy for the homeowner and improve humidity control.

“Our goal with every product launch is to make our newest offering even better than the last, and the Bosch 5000 Climate Ductless Mini-Splits is a testament to this commitment,” said Jean Carlo Contreras Gallo, Product Manager. “The Climate 5000 Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump Series is a technician’s dream with its easy installation and versatility, while offering customers the enhanced level of comfort they have come to know and enjoy from Bosch Home Comfort.”

Additional features and specifications include:

• Compact design to save space in homes
