Ferguson is now carrying the new Bosch line of Ground Source Heat pumps. Bosch bought out Florida heat Pump and has changed some of the designs and is offering new products. Does anyone have experience with them yet?

according to the pr, bosch only cleaned up the appearance of the units and increased distribution through branding. They claim to be holding to fhp's mission of creating machines that work well without any complicated bells and whistles. I put fhp units in my home and am very happy. I hope bosch continues.

I used FHP twice and had multiple issues with them, since the were shipped miss-wired speaking for poor quality control. I am 0-2 with them.

Controls of the units and overall quality and sophistication were not on pair with CM, WF and Hydron. Waiting for Bosch to impact design and manufacturing.

Bosch in Germany is excellent!

Bosch product I use is not as pretty as the companies doc mentioned because I pick the less expensive cabinet for my customers. I've been installing them for 2 years now without any out of box problems. Every brand has failures from time to time and depending on when one purchased an FHP I think it is fair to say there may not have been as much attention to detail.
With Bosch on board the product and quality control will only improve.

Just had my TA035 installed about a month ago and so far so good.  Has only been used for a couple cooling days and a couple heating, but we are happy.
