DALLAS – Bosch Home Comfort Group will make its landmark debut at AHR Expo 2026. The recent milestone of incorporating the YORK® and Hitachi brands in its portfolio sparks a new era for the company fueled by the strength of these iconic brands. From Feb. 2–4 in Las Vegas, attendees will be the first to experience the Bosch Comfort Revolution through an immersive booth experience that demonstrates how the expanded portfolio creates a single, powerful ecosystem that redefines comfort for contractors and homeowners alike.

“By bringing together the Bosch, YORK® and Hitachi brands, we’re redefining what comfort means, merging intelligence, reliability and electrification into one seamless experience,” said David Budzinski, deputy CEO global, president Americas, Bosch Home Comfort Group. “The future of comfort is forged through the shared innovation, engineering excellence and decades of expertise each of these iconic brands bring, forming a unified core positioned to drive true transformation and progress for contractors and for the HVAC industry at large.”

Greater energy efficiency and improved comfort

Today's heating and cooling innovations prove greater efficiency and enhanced comfort can go hand-in-hand. The Bosch Home Comfort Group booth at AHR Expo 2026 will feature the latest heating and cooling systems equipped with high-performance technologies that cut utility costs while delivering consistent, precise temperatures for occupants.

Bosch Ci and Ri Series Water Source Heat Pumps are now equipped with inverter technology. The Ci and Ri Series offer improved comfort and humidity control compared to non-inverter systems, while achieving superior energy efficiency and lower utility bills for home and business owners. Available in 1.5, 3 and 5 tons, both systems have a compact footprint, making for easy and seamless installation.

The new Hitachi air365 Max with R-32 offers highly efficient, zone-based heating and cooling simultaneously. Using R-32, an A2L refrigerant with low global warming potential, the system includes an A2L built-in detection and mitigation device for compliant installations. Outdoor units are offered as both universal heat pump and heat recovery, for greater application flexibility and further energy savings.

Reliable comfort in every building, every climate

Advancements in commercial rooftop unit (RTU) technology and design have significantly improved system efficiency and dependability. Built-in redundancies help ensure reliable operation for every application.

As the very first commercial rooftops offered by the brand, the Bosch Pro RTUs feature a premium cabinet with best-in-class options and are among the most efficient dual-circuit rooftop units on the market. The product showcases new options like a dual fuel heat pump with gas furnace back up, hot gas reheat dehumidification in a heat pump, and a direct drive plenum supply fan. Available in AC models with three efficiency tiers from 3 to 12.5 tons and in both standard heat pump and dual fuel heat pump configurations from 6.5 to 12.5 tons, Bosch Pro RTUs offer the perfect combination of serviceability, flexibility and efficiency to maximize value over the full life of the unit.

YORK® Sun™ Choice Dual Fuel RTUs combine a heat pump with a gas or propane furnace as a backup heat source to deliver efficient heating and cooling and consistent comfort year-round in colder climates. The systems feature direct drive plenum supply fans, and integrated intelligence automatically transitions heating operation to the most optimal energy source based on outdoor conditions. Ideal for a wide range of light commercial applications, Sun™ Choice Dual Fuel RTUs help reduce utility bills and support long-term energy goals.

Innovative technologies driving electrification across more applications

As the movement to decarbonize residential heating and cooling continues, improvements in heat pump designs make it possible to electrify a greater range of homes and buildings. Advancements in compressor technology extend climate range while compact footprints and multiple configuration options fit in more spaces.

The Inverter Ducted Split Edge Heat Pump from Bosch introduces a new compact outdoor solution to the flagship Inverter Ducted Split (IDS) Family product line. Built on inverter and VRF-based technology, the IDS Edge is a compact, flexible, and efficient solution for both residential single-zone and multi-zone applications and will be available in both standard and high-performance versions.

The YORK® YC8 18 SEER2 Air Conditioner achieves excellent energy efficiency, humidity control and precision comfort with a modulating compressor ideally suited to meet the cooling demands of many climates. Available in 2, 3 and 5 ton sizes, the YC8 offers temperature stability and quiet comfort with sound levels as low as 67 dBA.

“From advanced controls and cutting-edge engineering to flexible designs and low-GWP refrigerants, the new, unified product offering from Bosch Home Comfort Group offers contractors unparalleled access to the performance features driving outcomes that matter most to their customers,” said Budzinski. “By bringing together the best of three well-established brands, we are redefining comfort in new and crucial ways, driving innovation, efficiency, and reliability in a cohesive experience designed for every season and every building.”
