Payne Heating & Cooling began in 1914 when D.W. Payne and his son
began building gravity-type furnaces in a converted barn in Los
Angeles. A short time later, the company offered the first floor furnace
that could be installed in a home’s conventional crawl space area.
In 1933, Payne introduced the first forced-air, down-discharge
furnace. The company also was the first to market a forced-air furnace
approved for closet installation. In 1950, Payne pioneered perimeter and
zone heating. During the 1950’s the company also expanded its product
offering with the addition of a remote air conditioning product line. In
1962, Payne unveiled the first horizontal forced-air furnace approved
for outdoor installation as well as vertical combination heating and
cooling units for school rooms, apartments, and other applications.
Today, Payne maintains a simple line of highly efficient and
dependable products such as air conditioners, gas furnaces, heat pumps,
indoor coils, duct-free splits, and small packaged products. Homeowners
who want dependable heating and cooling systems at a reasonable price
turn to Payne.
