He started an American tradition in 1904 by developing exceptional heating and cooling systems such as the Bryant heat pump. 1904 was the time of great American innovations: the first ice cream cone was invented during the St. Louis fair; the Wright Brothers were in the midst of testing a more powerful aircraft, and the father of the Bryant heat pump, Charles Bryant founded his heating company in Ohio.

In 1937 the company launched the original Bryant heat pump called the “Dualator”. This was one of the first all-in-one heating and cooling unit available to the public. Since then Bryant heat pumps have developed a reputation of quality and reliability in their equipment.

While often compared to another long term classic heating and cooling company, American Standard heat pumps, Bryant heat pumps are more than just affordable; they have a history of providing homeowners with dependable heating and cooling no matter the price of their units.

Each Bryant heat pump goes through a rigorous testing process…actually some of the highest in the HVAC industry. Quality and reliability tests conducted by Bryant are designed to exceed the requirements established by such certifying bodies as the AHRI (Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute) and other organizations.

The most common Bryant heat pump is a split system. With a split system, you will have two devices: one inside and one outside your house. Outside is the main heat pump (a cabinet that houses the condenser coils with its electric motor and fan) which is basically an air conditioner that can also heat your home. Your system includes the evaporator section, where refrigerant is cooled and is passed to the evaporator coils. Air is cooled as it passes over these coils.

Next you can have an air handler (with air cleaner unit or filter) that removes germs, dust, pollen, animal danger and other indoor pollutants. Your system can also have installed a standalone humidifier unit that adds moisture back into the air during winter heating. Plus many split systems that are installed in colder winter climates also use secondary heating source as a gas furnace to supplement heat during freezing temperatures.

As you can see this type of heating and cooling has a complex series of components, so naturally Bryant tests their systems to over 60 different tests during the design phase and then uses additional series of 34 checks are performed while the system is in production.

In order to be sure that each system has as few installation problems as possible, each Bryant heat pump leaves the factory floor unless has passed all the above tests as well as a final computerized production demo run. Each unit is subjected to human inspection for appearance and assembly issues before packing and shipping.

And since most heat pump problems are often the result of installation issues, Bryant carefully monitors and field tests their products. Using real dealer-installers and real life projects, factory personnel observe and collect data that is used to improve overall designs and maintain a high level of customer service. Buying a Bryant heat pump may be the best decision you can make when it comes to providing your family a standard of superior comfort and worry-free operating.
