The IDS Ultra Cold Climate Heat Pump is designed for all seasons — even supporting climates reaching temperatures as low as -13° F, with a 100% heating capacity down to 5° F. 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 company says. The IDS Ultra is outfitted with an Enhanced Vapor Injection (EVI) compressor that borrows extra heat from the hot side of the refrigerant cycle, redirecting it to warm the home, boosting performance and overall comfort on the coldest days. Additionally, the IDS Ultra features demand response capability, allowing utilities (with the homeowner’s permission) to manage electrical load intelligently prior to peak usage time to avoid outages. The IDS Ultra qualifies for federal tax credits and state rebates as an Energy Star V6.1 Cold Climate-certified product.
