5 Reasons Why You Should Attend AHR 2022

The 2022 AHR Expo, the most influential tradeshow in the HVAC industry, is right around the corner and we couldn’t be more excited. AHR provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity for OEMs, engineers, contractors, wholesalers, and other HVAC professionals across the globe to come together, explore the latest innovations, and build relationships.

Join us in the North Hall at our booth (#N9717) for networking and to see live demonstrations of our latest residential and commercial products. But first, you might be wondering: how can your business benefit from meeting with Bosch Thermotechnology?

Here are five reasons:

#2. Tap into the connectivity trend

Connectivity is a market trend not just in the HVAC industry, but in our lives. We have access to the world at our fingertips on our phones and have come to highly value speed and convenience.

Now is the best time to tap into connected products—your customers want and expect them. Our user experience data shows that homeowners are increasingly interested in being able to remotely adjust and monitor their HVACs when they are away from home. Smart products are easier on you, too. We are seeing that younger contractors in particular prefer accessing product and installation information on-demand from their mobile devices. They also want to be able to gauge the unit’s performance remotely after installation.

We are expanding our portfolio of connected products with the introduction of the IDS Premium Connected heat pump, which features wireless connectivity as well as in-app warranty registration, installation, and troubleshooting for contractors. Our Bosch Connected Controls will be featured as well.

Check out these innovations in person and get a jump on the connectivity trend when you visit the Bosch booth at AHR.

#3. Hear the quietest water source heat pump technology

If you are a contractor, you have likely experienced the most dreaded of all call-backs: the noise complaint. Fixing a noisy heat pump can be a challenging issue to solve for several reasons. First, noise is ambiguous: everyone hears sounds differently. Plus, those who live in smaller residences, such as a condo, traditionally have not been able to take advantage of the noise-reducing systems out there due to space limitations. Until now…

Our engineers listened to market demand and have designed new commercial and residential heat pumps that are both quiet and compact enough to serve the condo and mechanical room market. Five years in the making, Bosch has released the quietest heat pumps in our line--the commercial QV Series and the residential Greensource i Series WQ Model. Featuring Bosch-patented noise insulation technology and a DEC Star® Blower, the QV and WQ are whisper quiet (53 dB is the lowest overall sound rating), as well as efficient and compact. Both are excellent choices for retrofits and new construction.

When you visit our booth, you can see—and hear—the difference for yourself.

#4. Get 'em while they’re hot: condensing boilers

The demand for condensing boilers (especially combi boilers) is heating up fast. Really fast. From 2015-2020, the average yearly growth rate for condensing boilers was almost 7%, according to Bosch market research. And for combi boilers? Their average yearly growth rate increased by more than 24%. So why are condensing boilers so hot in the market right now? A lot of it boils down to saving: saving energy, saving space, and saving money through tax rebate programs. Check out our blog to learn more about the benefits of condensing boilers.

The new construction market is also helping to drive the trend, particularly when it comes to combis. Homeowners who are building their own place get to choose the heating system that works for them. Since a combi can produce heating and hot water in the same unit, the decision is often a no-brainer. Why install two units when you can get everything you need from one?

At the Bosch booth, we will be featuring several high-quality heating products, including two of our highly efficient condensing boilers:

  • Singular Combi Boiler: Provides efficient, dependable home heating and up to 7.7 gallons per minute of domestic hot water production. Learn more
  • Greenstar Boiler: Delivers comfortable heating and domestic hot water and is the world’s best-selling residential boiler system. Learn more

#5. Experience the latest innovations in comfort

When you visit Bosch at AHR, you have a unique opportunity to see and demo our portfolio of heating, cooling, and hot water solutions. It’s also a great chance to get a head start on learning about new products before they officially enter the market.

Case in point: the new Inverter Ducted Split (IDS) Light. The IDS Light is the only 15-SEER inverter compressor solution on the market. This air-to-air heat pump provides the comfort and benefits you have come to expect from the Bosch IDS Family—things like a fully-modulating inverter drive, compact size, and quiet performance—while also providing a standard efficiency level at a great price point. Can't beat that.

You can also experience the third generation of the Climate 5000 Ductless System. The Climate 5000 3.0 offers enhanced energy and humidity control while still providing the same exceptional level of comfort and performance that Bosch customers love about our ductless mini-split line.

Come by our booth and see for yourself!
