Honeywell offers a wide range of automation and building control products and solutions for your building project. Honeywell products and services include home control products, pneumatic products, and those for indoor air quality.

Honeywell can trace its roots back to 1885, when an inventor named Albert Butz patented the furnace regulator and alarm. He formed the Butz Thermo-Electric Regulator Co., Minneapolis, on April 23, 1886, and a few weeks later invented a simple, yet ingenious device that he called the "damper flapper."

Here's how it worked. When a room cooled below a predetermined temperature, a thermostat closed the circuit and energized an armature. This pulled the stop from the motor gears, allowing a crank attached to the main motor shaft to turn one-half revolution. A chain connected to the crank opened the furnace's air damper to let in air. This made the fire burn hotter. When the temperature rose to the preset level, the thermostat signaled the motor to turn another half revolution, closing the damper and damping the fire. The temperature correction was automatic. Over the years, many Honeywell products have been based upon similar, but more complicated closed-loop systems.

The Consolidated Temperature Controlling Co. incorporated, acquired Butz's patents and business, and by 1893, had renamed itself Electric Heat Regulator Co. The first company ads ran in 1895 featuring the now famous thermostat. In 1898, the company was purchased by W. R. Sweatt, who, by 1916, had changed the name of the company to Minneapolis Heat Regulator Company, expanded its product line and patented the first electric motor approved by Underwriters Laboratories.

Honeywell was founded and shaped by inventive technical people and superior leadership. These same values power the new Honeywell. The new Honeywell captures the best of its AlliedSignal and Honeywell Inc. heritage, and is one of the world’s leading companies.

Some of the building control products that Honeywell offers include controllers for humidity and refrigeration, lighting controls, remote and networked sensors, and fan coil and line volt thermostats.

Home control products include aquastat parts, flue dampers, fan and limit controls, programmable and non-programmable thermostats, gas valves, and pressure regulators, among many others.

Honeywell can help with the indoor air quality in your new construction with residential and commercial air cleaners, humidifiers and humidity controls, and residential ventilation products.

If you need pneumatic products, Honeywell has pneumatic velocity controls, pneumatic transducers, pneumatic thermostats, and a variety of controllers. For more information, visit the Honeywell Website at www.honeywell.com.
