About Bosch IDS 2.0
Bosch IDS 2.0 is Bosch Home Comfort's fully ducted, variable-speed heat pump — distinct from Bosch's more common Climate 5000/Greentherm ductless and tankless lines already covered elsewhere on this site. IDS is built to replace an existing furnace-and-A/C setup with one ducted heat pump system, which is exactly the kind of retrofit many older Metro Vancouver homes with existing ductwork are looking for.

CANRO’s Bosch IDS experience
CANRO sizes and installs Bosch IDS 2.0 systems with a proper load calculation against your existing ductwork, verifies static pressure and duct sizing before recommending it (a ducted heat pump retrofit only performs well if the ducts can support it), and files CleanBC/BC Hydro/FortisBC rebate paperwork on qualifying installs.

Bosch IDS 2.0 FAQs
What makes IDS different from Bosch’s other heat pumps?+
IDS (Inverter Ducted Split) is Bosch’s fully ducted, central heat pump — it connects to your home’s existing ductwork rather than using wall-mounted indoor heads like Bosch’s ductless mini-split lineup.
Can IDS replace my existing furnace and A/C?+
In many cases yes, when your ductwork is properly sized for it — CANRO assesses your existing ducts before recommending a ducted heat pump retrofit over other options.
Does Bosch IDS work well in a Metro Vancouver winter?+
Variable-speed ducted heat pumps like IDS are built to modulate output and maintain heating capacity through typical Metro Vancouver winter temperatures, which rarely drop much below -5°C in the lowlands.
Does IDS qualify for a rebate?+
Qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps are often eligible for CleanBC/BC Hydro/FortisBC incentives — CANRO confirms current eligibility for your specific model before quoting.

CANRO assesses your existing ductwork and gives an honest recommendation and free written quote for a ducted heat pump retrofit.
