This table covers the R-32 DH7VS—not the older R-410A DZ6VS or FIT AURORA DH9VS. Manufacturer reference checked September 4, 2026; document revision 07/25, page 3. Values are BTU/h; the exact indoor match still controls the project rating.

Family ceilings: up to 19 SEER2 and 8.8 HSPF2. The sheet identifies cold-climate configurations subject to matching requirements. Its −10°F operating limit does not promise full rated output or eliminate supplemental heat. Read the manufacturer specification and expanded tables.
Our installer-grounded read on the Daikin FIT, computed from how its specs compare against the rest of the equipment NuWatt installs.
The Daikin FIT is a mainstream-tier heat pump in the lineup NuWatt installs — a balanced pick when budget matters but you still want a real warranty and proven hardware. Its SEER2 of 19 is roughly in line with the median (19) of the products NuWatt installs. HSPF2 of 8.8 trails the median by 2.2 — expect higher winter electric usage than the cold-climate leaders. The catalog lists operation down to -10°F. Minimum operating temperature alone does not establish cold-climate certification or eliminate backup heat: match the exact indoor/outdoor equipment's heating capacity at the local design temperature to the home's calculated heat loss. The 12-year compressor warranty is on the long end — manufacturers do not extend that coverage casually, and the compressor is the part that costs the most to replace. At 45 dB the outdoor unit runs notably quieter than the median — meaningful when the condenser sits next to a bedroom window or close to a property line.
Selection method: DOE Building America cold-climate sizing guidance. Confirm the exact matched equipment and design heat loss before deciding on backup heat.
NuWatt does not have material reservations about this heat pump on the spec sheet. The bigger decisions are usually about home fit: ductless versus ducted, single-zone versus multi-zone, and whether your electrical panel has the capacity to add the unit without an upgrade.

Check My Eligibility“Confirm the outdoor model, indoor match, communicating controls, electrical circuit, duct airflow, snow elevation and condensate path before quoting. Use the installation manual for each side and obstruction clearance; a blanket six-inch rule is not a complete installation design. Existing duct and electrical conditions determine the replacement schedule.”

A heat pump increases your electricity usage by 3,000–6,000 kWh per year. Offset that cost with solar panels and power your heating with free sunshine. NuWatt designs integrated solar + heat pump systems for maximum savings.

Installed cost depends on the exact tonnage, number of indoor and outdoor units, ductwork, electrical work, access, and local incentives. Use NuWatt's address-based heat-pump calculator for a preliminary project range; a site visit is required before a firm quote.
The catalog shows 2 to 5 ton options. Do not choose tonnage from floor area alone: use room-by-room Manual J loads, the local design temperature, duct airflow and the exact matched system's heating and cooling capacity. The DH7VS manufacturer range also includes a 3.5-ton option. Ask for the sizing calculation and AHRI match with the proposal.
The catalog operating limit is -10°F. That does not prove whole-home heating capacity at that temperature or rule out backup heat. Current Daikin DH7VS literature identifies cold-climate matched configurations; a generic FIT family label cannot establish eligibility. Compare the exact AHRI match and low-temperature output with the home's design heat loss before selecting backup or all-electric operation.
Daikin DH7VS literature lists 12-year limited parts and unit-replacement coverage subject to the warranty terms. Where registration is required, its stated deadline is 60 days, not 90. State exceptions and annual-maintenance requirements may apply. Confirm the exact certificate and separately identify installation labor coverage in your contract.
Our catalog lists 8.8 HSPF2 for heating and 19 SEER2 for cooling. These are seasonal ratings, not a guaranteed percentage reduction in your bill. Verify the exact AHRI-rated indoor/outdoor combination and applicable equipment category. Compare low-temperature capacity, the local climate, controls, duct losses and the actual electricity and replacement-fuel rates before estimating operating cost.
Our catalog lists an outdoor sound rating of 45 dB. Compare the exact model's manufacturer sound data using the same operating speed, measurement distance and sound-power or sound-pressure basis. Placement, reflections and nighttime operation affect what you hear; a catalog number alone cannot establish which system will be quietest at your home.
