Honeywell can actually trace its roots back to 1885 when Albert Butz invented a damper flapper, the first thermostat for coal furnaces, for the Minneapolis Heat Regulator Company.
In 1906, Mark C. Honeywell founded the Honeywell Heating Specialty Company in Wabash, Indiana. In 1927, Honeywell merged with Minneapolis Heat Regulator. Mark Honeywell was made President and W.R. Sweatt was made chairman.
W.R. Sweatt and his son Harold lead Honeywell for the next 75 years, turning a small idea (the thermostat) into a thriving business.
In 1943, James Binger joined the company and became President in 1961. Binger revamped the company’s sale approach and focused on profit margin instead of total revenues.
Starting in the 1970’s, the company decided to focus on process controls. The company merged some of their systems with GE‘s information systems and later acquired GE’s processing systems.
In 1986, the company took on a new direction by acquiring Sperry Aerospace while discontinuing their computer programs with the rise of the IBM personal computer.
In 1987, the company began offering a home security system and later, Smart Home control systems.
In 1999, Honeywell merged with AlliedSignal. Although AlliedSignal was the bigger company, Honeywell was the more recognizable name. In October of 2015, the “new” Honeywell company moved their headquarters to Morris Plains, New Jersey. The new 475,000-square-foot building on 40 plus acres features state-of-the-art technology, as well as greater energy efficiency than Honeywell’s old Morristown headquarters, which was underutilized, outdated and costly, according to then CEO Dave Cote.
The company is publicly traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol: HON. Honeywell had annual revenue of $40.5 billion in 2017 and has more than 131,000 employees worldwide, with approximately 58,000 of those being in the US.

Why is Honeywell still requiring the ‘ vaccine’ when the Supreme Court has already deemed it unconstitutional? Do they not have to follow the laws of the land? Facts are put of the dangers of the so called vaccine. So why are they pushing it??
Subramaniam Haran says
I worked as regular employee engineer for Allied Chemical company in Morristown, NJ for more than 5 years from 1974 to 1979. Because of no fault of mine, I was asked to leave Allied along with my entire corporate engineering department of 300 engineers due to merger of Allied and Signal businesses which occurred soon after the layoff. Then AlliedSignal merged with Honeywell International and having its operations from its HQ in Morris Plains under the name of Honeywell International Inc. I did not get my pension rights because government regulation at that time was 10 years of service for getting vested. Now it is 5 years.
Recently, I have been getting number of calls regarding employment opportunities with Honeywell. I am curious to find out Honeywell’s hiring policy with regards to reemploying past Allied Chemical Inc employees. I understand corporate policies change with time. I like to hear Honeywell’s employment policies from the executives of Honeywell.
Thanks

Unfortunately in the last six months I’ve had to talk to your thermostat tech support system on your 9000 and on your 5000 heat pumps stats. The first time was on your 9000 stat on my own home, which has a Honeywell three zone system with white Rogers thermostat. The Honeywell zone board failed after nine years. One of the white Rogers thermostat’s were influenced by and failed. I decided to update to the 9000 Honeywell thermostat. And for two days and three thermostats later, probably 6 to 7 cost you your tech support telling me it was wired wrong or broken wires from the Honeywell board to the Honeywell stat. After two days I went back to the supply house and pick up a white Rogers thermostat and put it on my wall guess what it worked. No broken wires though programming issues no bad boards.
The second time I’ve dealt with your tech support system on thermostats was yesterday on Rheem heat pump with your 5000 thermostat I was called in after the to the original technician could not find the problem. He had put a new thermostat on wall but it was keeping the reversing valve energized no matter what position you put the thermostat switch in the reversing valve state energize the first call I made to your tech support. The gentleman kept explaining to me that it was wired wrong. The colors to match the equipment and I tried to explain to him two or three times that it doesn’t matter what color wire reason as long as it goes to the right piece of equipment just because the white wires of old doesn’t mean that’s going to the heat going to the old terminal which is your reversing valve but he wont argue with I hung up on a call back got another gentleman I could understand little bit better and stopping when he started the same deal with me and explained to him that I have 35 years out here in the field. I’m only called in when is a major problem but nobody can fix. I’ve gone back all the way into the 70s with your my chronic systems. I have put in $80,000 control systems and never never had this kind of problem talking to tech support my life. After my conversation with the tech support I went and picked up another white Rogers heat pump thermostat on the wall guess what it worked. No bad wiring no broke wiring no shorts didn’t have call Rheem remanufacturing and asked a bunch of questions. If this the best Honeywell has to offer. I will no longer be putting in Honeywell system or thermostats or recommending it. You need to take these guys away from the computers get them in the field and find out what the real world is about just because a book says a read up our has to be read doesn’t mean it’s been wired that way in the field. These guys have all know customer service, especially dealing with a contractor of my caliber. I carry to state licenses and have 2°, one in architectural engineering and one in electronic engineering and to me this is an insult put somebody like this on the counter answering your phone. Thank you

I had two of these thermostats installed at the end of June this year so I could monitor the temperature and humidity of my Florida house. I spend a few months away each year and it is important to monitor the house. I also have other monitors that do the same in specific rooms, but that do not provide any control over the HACV. One of the Honeywells has never measured humidity correctly since it was installed. A couple weeks ago the other one lost connectivity. Customer support made some adjustments that gave it the appearance of working, but with no actual control. I subsequently had the local maintenance people who installed it visit the house with my caretaker, since i’m 2000 miles away. They had difficulty establishing connectivity and contacted Honeywell support. Honeywell support people instructed them to push the reset button on my router. Unfortunately, that returned the router to its factory settings and caused all of my internet based equipment and monitors to go offline. (They probably just wanted to reboot the router.) I spent the next morning on the phone with a friend for 3 hours reconfiguring the router and getting my equipment online (the honeywell still did not respond). Some router functions are still not enabled, but will have to wait until I can be on site. Your support people have no business providing directions for equipment for which they are not familiar. Today the local people replaced the thermostat and instructed me to register it. Apparently, and unbeknown to my contractor, this is impossible unless you are on site and can change the temperature as part of the process as I learned when I tried to register the products later this morning. I called tech support, but they advised that nothing could be done to cirXXXXvent changing the temperature. So now I need to arrange for my caretaker to travel to the house again to help me complete the registration process. If the purpose of the thermostat is remote monitoring, wouldn’t it seem logical that the homeowner might need to register while off premises. This has not been a positive experience so far! The product does not seem strong and support is either weak or overly complex. I contrast this with the 5 NEST thermostats I have in another home controlling 5 zones. They’ve been installed and operating for over 2 years without one incident. I was hoping Honeywell would be a good experience like NEST and a viable alternative. I now wish I had found a local HACV contractor that supported NEST.

I bought a 9000 thermostat it say the indoor heat is 76 but the point of set which what they call it 73 and it is so cold I need the fan OFF not running at all but no one thought that this was needed the technician / designer was so very stupid, heating and air con. all ready have a fan to blow the heat and air con. through the ducks there is no need for a second fan to blow all the time some of the time or on auto which mixes heat and cold air making the house cold DUH! which also means that when I need to run the air I will have the same issue but in reverse so now when I need to cool down the house it will be hotter which mean I will need to turn it down to cool down what I was doing at 73 now I will have to go down lower so by no having an off for the fan is going cost more money for me and not be energy efficient which also means I waited my money on the unit and the money I paid to have it installed I know no one cares they got my money and yours very bad company. I just say enough about how bad and ABHORRENT.
i TRULY HOPE i AM WRONG AND i WILL BE CONTACTED WITH A SOLUTION BEFORE SUMMER BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER HAS SERIOUS HEAT ISSUES AND WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE SHE WILL GET VERY SICK

An electrician installed two Honeywell (PLS750C/PLS751C) to control front lights and a lamp post to go on in a New England winter.
Now that it is spring and summer is soon to be here, we would like to reprogram them.
Not. Never. No how. Impossible.
The directions are impenetrable. We spent over an hour talking to “technicians” who were unable to help and who were quite willing to let us hang up — leaving us with lights that now go on and off on sunny afternoons.
Who wrote the directions? Who stands behind Honeywell?
You have lost another domestic customer; is yourattention being paid on.y to massive industrial clients? If so, forget us little pawns and go for the big guys.

I have purchased a Honeywell erv. Since the A/C guy who has installed the unit in my home the air quality has been very toxic. I have had to shut the unit off. I believe its the problem with the balance. The A/C guy has come back and said that he balanced the unit but I still have the problem. I don’t think he’s doing it right I think I have to much neg. pressure. This is the first unit he has put in. This home is in middle Georgia area Bonaire Ga. Macon/ Warner Robins area. Would you be able to recommend a preferred installer to
balance my system.

I have 4 programmable Honeywell thermostats in my home. When trying to replace batteries for the RTH2300/RTH221 series the thermostat fell apart and does not go back together specifically the buttons and the cover over temp read out. I called the 800 number to see if they could send a replacement. I was told that I would have to buy a new one. Ask to speak with a supervisor and was told to they could do nothing and me and to have a nice day.
Really? How can we resolve this issue?
Sarah Cohen says
The Honeywell Programmable Thermostadt 69-1921EFS-03 does not function properly. It does not come on at the time programmed. My contractor told me to remove the batteries for about 5 minutes, then replace and reprogram. That has not worked. It looks OK on the screen, but does not function according to the data programmed in memory. How can I fix this problem?
Thank you, SBC – St Louis, MO.

Hello I worked at the kansas city plant for 18 years. When I separated I was told I could roll my 401k over about a month after my last day of work. That was in Aug 2014. I have tried to call my HR here in kansas city and when i can get someone on the phone I am given different stories. The last few calls I was told I would get a call back. I am still waiting weeks later. I would like to know if anyone in the there can get answer concerning my 401k.

To Honeywell Corporate Office
Hello. I am currently a junior student at KAIST, Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. I am currently doing a project with 3 of my colleagues about how to develop the smart grid industry in South Korea.
The project we are working on is called LG Global Challenger and it is supported by the LG Corporation. Each team is consisted of 4 members from the same university. The idea of the project is to find an issue or social problem in Korea and try to find how to solve it by searching how other countries solved it. A total of 30 teams, 120 members are selected nationwide and given the chance to go overbroad to research their topic after passing through doXXXXentary examination and face-to-face interview.
We chose our topic as the smart grid industry which will become important to our country in the near future. South Korea has an extremely low supply of natural resources and is highly dependent on imported energy sources. In spite of these factors, the energy price is relatively low to other countries with similar situations and people use too much electricity. This especially becomes a major problem in the summer when the electricity demand increases. We thought that the smart grid will become a solution to Koreas electricity problems and thats why we chose this topic.
Contacting foreign institutes and corporations is a key point in passing through both examinations. Therefore, we would like to know if we could visit your facility if we pass both examinations. Our main interest is how the building and home energy management is done, what kind of technologies are neede and how it is related to the smart grid industry
Sincerely, Yoonhyuk Rah

I worked for Honeywell from Dec, 1978 til June of 1984 in Rockford, il. at that time I was told that when I retired I should have money coming back to me monthly. What forms do I need to fill out to get the money? Please reply. Thank You.

I would like to address this to Mr. Fradin to make sure he is aware of some significant customer service issues in my area. In June I purchased a Honeywell wireless IAQ system for my home and since June the system has not worked correctly. Despite repeated calls to Honeywell for support my local HVAC company has not received any support or assistance. In the southeast we frequently see temperatures over 100 degrees and because of the poor performance of the system and the serious customer service issues we are forced to endure very high temperatures in our house with no sense of urgency from Honeywell. I am also in serious fear that your poor performing system and lack of urgency will burn out my new HVAC unit.
My request is for immediate executive assistance in resolving this issue to my satisfaction, I feel that every customer deserves support from the manufacturer for a manufacturer problem and am seriously disappointed in Honeywell and Honeywell products to the point where I will not recommend them and my HVAC company is looking to drop your entire product line.
I can be reached at 919-345-6804 if someone would like to discuss this issue.
Thank you!
Scott
