Delivering Quality Every Day

A Legacy of Innovation

Founded in 1874, YORK^® has been an industry leader since the beginning. A revolutionary YORK^® "air washing" system installed in 1914 was the precursor to modern-day air conditioning. In 1924, the world’s first air-conditioned office building used YORK^® equipment. And today, YORK^® products are heating and cooling iconic structures, including the Empire State Building, the English Chunnel, the U.S. Capitol Building and the Sydney Opera House.

An Investment in Quality

In 2006, YORK^® became a brand of Johnson Controls – a Fortune 100 company and a leader in world-class manufacturing. This has allowed us to invest in industry-leading research and development to deliver a wide range of products built with world-class quality. In fact, YORK^® home comfort systems undergo performance and reliability testing that is unmatched in our industry, ensuring energy savings and lasting performance for years to come.

A Commitment From the Heart

Exceeding expectations requires more than the latest technology or state-of-the-art facilities. That’s why YORK^® residential systems are designed, engineered and assembled in the United States, where our people – and their dedication to quality – make all the difference.

Meet Chris.

Meet Vicki.
