Honeywell can trace its roots back to 1885, when an inventor named Albert Butz patented the furnace regulator and alarm. Butz also invented the “damper flapper,” the first closed-loop furnace regulator. Meanwhile, in 1904 a young engineer named Mark Honeywell was perfecting the heat generator as part of his plumbing and heating business. Two years later, he formed the Honeywell Heating Specialty Co, incorporated, specializing in hot water heat generators. In 1927, Honeywell Heating and Butz’s company, by then owned by W. R. Sweatt and called Minneapolis Heat Regulator Company, merged. After several important acquisitions, like Brown Instruments and Time-O-Stat Controls, and the growth of affiliates in 95 countries, Honeywell International emerged as we know it today.

Power & Heat Systems is a full service distributor for Honeywell’s flame safeguard controls, aquastats, pressure switches, gas shut-off valves, control motors, and linkage-less burner control systems.
