Bosch bovb-24rtb-m15s Heat Pump Inverter 15 SEER2 2 Ton

Product Description

The BOSCH bovb-24rtb-m15s is a 2-ton outdoor heat pump inverter unit built for residential split-system installations requiring high-efficiency, fully modulating performance. Part of the IDS Light Series, it operates on R-454B refrigerant, a lower global warming potential alternative to legacy refrigerants, and achieves up to 15.2 SEER2 and 8.5 HSPF2 efficiency ratings. The fully modulating inverter drive adjusts compressor speed continuously to match load demand, reducing short cycling and maintaining steadier indoor temperatures. Sound levels measure as low as 59 dBA, making it suitable for noise-sensitive residential applications. Licensed HVAC technicians handle installation, startup, and refrigerant handling for this equipment class.

The bovb-24rtb-m15s outdoor condensing unit is designed for use in residential split-system heat pump configurations. It operates on a 208-230/1/60 electrical supply and pairs with compatible Bosch air handler families including the BIVA, compact BIWA, and BICA series. System capacity across the BOVB IDS Light platform ranges from 24,000 to 60,000 BTU/h. The unit is compatible with most 24 VAC thermostats, including smart thermostat models, allowing straightforward integration into existing low-voltage control wiring setups without proprietary controllers.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician holding the appropriate EPA Section 608 certification for R-454B refrigerant handling. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power at the service panel before making any electrical or refrigerant connections. Follow local mechanical and electrical codes, including NEC requirements for disconnect sizing and wire gauge, and manufacturer startup procedures before commissioning the system. Do not operate the unit without verifying proper refrigerant charge and airflow through the matched indoor unit.
