WICHITA, KAN., May 28, 2026 – Today, YORK®, a licensed brand of Bosch Home Comfort Group, launched their newest heat pump innovation, the YORK® YH9. The variable speed, 21 SEER2 heat pump achieves excellent efficiency and precision comfort, even in colder climates with operation down to -10 F. Matched with the company’s newest communicating thermostat, the combination creates a fully communicating system that offers exceptional benefits to both homeowners and contractors.

“As the industry continues to navigate workforce challenges, it is essential for manufacturers to engineer equipment that can simplify processes in the field,” said Piero Caballero, senior product manager, Bosch Home Comfort Group. “The YH9 is an excellent example of how intentional engineering can meet both contractor and homeowner needs in tandem. Combined with intelligent controls, contractors can reduce installation and service time without sacrificing quality.”

The ENERGY STAR® certified heat pumps feature variable speed compressors that precisely modulate temperature output to maximize energy efficiency and comfort down to -10 F, and they can maintain up to 100% capacity at 5 F, surpassing the program’s requirements for cold climate performance.

The YH9 heat pumps ship factory-charged for a 15-foot line set to reduce brazing and charging time during installation. Independent panels create quick access to power and control wiring. Diagonal base valves provide open access for low-loss fittings. Full corner access, removable fan guards and screw-on pressure switches help to streamline maintenance. Additionally, contractors can digitally access technical documents and warranty information from a QR code located on the equipment.

YORK® YH9 heat pumps are further optimized when paired with the latest SHC510 Smart Home Control communicating thermostat, which also supports zoning. As a fully communicating system, the smart thermostat auto-configures the connected equipment during installation ensuring optimal performance. If service is needed, the system enables remote access for easy diagnostics without the need for a fee-based subscription.

YORK® YH9 heat pumps are engineered in a state-of-the-art facility in Wichita, Kan., and meet Build America, Buy America requirements. The communicating thermostats meet Department of Energy (DOE) 2026 Controls Verification Procedure (CVP) standards , in addition to providing remote diagnostics and enhanced comfort.
