In 1890, Thomas Edison formed the Edison General Electric Company,
while at the same time Charles A. Coffin led the Thomas-Houston Company
as well as smaller companies which had merged to form it. As these
businesses expanded, it became difficult for either company to design or
manufacture complete electrical installations using only their own
technology. In 1892, these two major companies formed the General
Electric Company.
Since then, General Electric has moved into and stayed at the
forefront of innovations in many lighting and electrical related
products. In terms of its air conditioners and other air purification
products, GE’s expertise is in “back end” electrical and electronics,
including wiring, power transmission and switches.
For example, GE is very proud of its proprietary GE3 ART Series
thermostat, fitted in appliances from refrigerators and air conditioners
to coolers, dehumidifiers and many other appliances. The innovation in
this is that the switch operates automatically from changes in vapor
pressure.
