The Bosch IDS Edge is designed for maximum compatibility, installation ease and flexibility, and performance and reliability. The IDS Edge can be paired with a wide range of indoor solutions including air handlers, dual-fuel furnaces, ducted units, wall-mounted units and 4-way cassettes. This pairing approach allows for increased flexibility in home design, application and installation, while delivering consistent comfort and reliable performance. The IDS Edge also comes in a cold climate configuration — the IDS Edge Max — which offers enhanced cold climate capability.

The IDS Edge also features inverter-driven operation, compact outdoor design, and Low-GWP R-454B refrigerant, making it well-suited for retrofit and new construction residential applications. Engineered for durability in changing climates, it also offers corrosion-resistant coil coatings, self-cleaning condenser fan operation, a heated base pan and integrated fault diagnostics to enhance reliability and long-term performance. The IDS Edge is an Energy Star certified product.

The IDS family product line is comprised of the following systems:

• IDS Ultra, the first Bosch air-to-air heat pump designed to provide reliable, energy efficient heating even in sub-zero temperatures. This cold climate heat pump can provide 100% heating down to an outdoor temperature of 5° F and will continue to initiate heating even down to -13° F. The IDS Ultra is available up to 5-ton capacities and meets the U.S. Department of Energy’s Cold Climate Challenge.
• IDS Premium Connected, a 20-SEER system which can be used with the Bosch EasyAir app to enable in-app product registration, simplify installation and troubleshooting, and allow remote monitoring of energy usage as well as critical alerts.
• IDS Edge, an inverter ducted heat pump platform that prioritizes ease of installation and uses VRF-style technology to deliver precise, efficient and flexible whole-home comfort.
• IDS Plus, an 18-SEER system which combines Bosch‘s BOVB18 outdoor unit with its BVA20 two stage x13 ECM style air handler to balance efficiency, comfort and affordability.
• IDS Light, the first 15-SEER inverter condenser on the market. This unit delivers the steady energy use and minimal noise expected of an IDS system at an unbeatable price point.
