Is this air to air or air to water?

"Bosch’s IDS Ultra can support climates reaching temperatures as low as -13° F, with a 100% heating capacity down to 5° F. The IDS Ultra also achieves this greater capacity at a significantly higher efficiency, a COP of 2.1. It is also compliant with the new low global warming potential (GWP) A2L refrigerant requirements. The IDS Ultra is the first cold climate heat pump to market that meets these criteria from the DOE Challenge."
The only thing there that hasn't been around for a decade or so from manufacturers like Mitsubishi and Fujitsu of EVI compressors is the low-GWP refrigerant.

With the sunsetting of R410A all of the manufacturers are having to revamp their product lines. This is an opportunity to upgrade to the latest technology.

Yeah I agree. The article definitely could be written better. The performance specs given by the moderator look good though. I wonder what kinda premium these units will have. Consumers will want it but can we afford them?

@DCContrarian True, but also in certain areas the electric rates are high enough to keep me happily heating with my standard gas Peerless. Long run, I think any system that can both heat and cool will win out eventually.
