From The Build Show.
In today’s episode of The Build Show, Travis dives into the realities of residential remodeling — where existing conditions don’t always cooperate and achieving true comfort takes careful mechanical design. Filmed on-site during a Kansas City rainstorm, He walks us through a 1940s home renovation where his team vaulted ceilings, upgraded insulation, and improved air sealing, but had to contend with one major wildcard: an old wood-burning fireplace that made air tightness unpredictable.
To tackle the challenge, Travis teams up with Bosch Home Comfort experts BJ Bailey of SFE Enterprises and Fred, a national factory trainer with over 16 years of experience. Together, they break down how Bosch’s Inverter Ducted System (IDS) heat pumps use variable-capacity, inverter-driven technology to precisely match a home’s heating and cooling load. The result? Whisper-quiet operation, consistent indoor comfort, and exceptional energy efficiency — even when remodel conditions make HVAC design tricky.
From smart thermostats and humidity control to seamless installation and advanced safety sensors for new A2L refrigerants, this episode shows how Bosch is redefining residential comfort and performance.
