When it is time to move to a central heat pump, the indoor cabinet takes the furnace’s place: it moves the air, carries the heat pump coil and, with an element kit, provides electric backup in extreme cold. Bosch’s BVA-48WN1-M15 plays that role in the 4-ton (48,000 BTU\/h) size. It is the indoor section of the BOVA M15-series inverter heat pump, on the IDS 1.0 Plus platform, with an R-410A coil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eElectric backup from 5 to 20 kW\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis size accepts the full range of EHK kits: EHK-05B (5 kW), EHK-08B (7.5 kW), EHK-10B (10 kW), then EHK-15B (15 kW) and EHK-20B (20 kW), the last two being dual circuit. The kit is sold separately. In a large home in \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e or on the \u003cstrong\u003eNorth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e, a high-output kit is often justified; it does, however, need two circuits at the panel, which we check before proposing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout a kit, the air handler needs a 4.2 A minimum circuit ampacity and 15 A maximum overcurrent protection, at 208\/230 V single phase, 60 Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to plan for on site\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BVA-48WN1-M15 is 54-1\/2 in high, 22 in wide and 24 in deep (1385 x 560 x 610 mm) and weighs 159 lb net. It installs in upflow or horizontal right position as shipped, and converts on site to horizontal left or downflow. The 20 x 22 in filter rack is integrated, with a tool-less door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the refrigerant side, the liquid connection is 3\/8 in and the suction connection 7\/8 in. When we replace an older system, the existing line does not always have that diameter: we check it and replace it if needed. The 1\/2 HP PSC motor offers 1,336, 1,654 or 1,918 SCFM, and Bosch publishes 67, 65 and 61 dB(A) depending on speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe air handler is sold alone; the spec sheet does not name the exact outdoor model, and we confirm the match before ordering. Sold alone, it does not qualify for the LogisVert grant, which follows the certified outdoor unit + air handler pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation by AirGreen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirGreen is a family business established in Montreal for more than fifteen years, holding RBQ licence 5645-9605-01 in ventilation, refrigeration and electrical work: we remove the furnace, install the air handler and the kit, wire the electrical circuits, run the refrigerant piping and condensate drain, and commission the system.
