Barber-Colman is one of the big 5 HVAC companies, especially before the 80’s and the dawn of DDC.  Barber-Colman has earned that designation because of the company’s innovation over a century of American manufacturing history. The Barber-Colman complex pictured was not just a manufacturing plant but a teaching institution for the development of various industries among them building controls.

Today, Schneider Electric is making the controls we still call Barber-Colman.
