Coleman Heating Equipment
History of Coleman Lanterns, Stoves, and HVAC
The original Coleman company was founded Oklahoma in the U.S. by W.C. Coleman in 1900. Coleman's first product and its most famous was a line of lanterns that by 1914 were sold widely in the U.S. Coleman camp stoves were introdued in the 1940s, first as a portable or "pocket" stove used by soldies during WWII.
Coleman HVAC (Coleman heating and air condtioning equipment) originated in 1958, was purchased by MacAndrews & Forbes in 1989, then was sold on to Beacon International (Canada), also titled Beacon Capital Corporation, in 1990, when the company was renamed Evcon Industries.
Evcon was purchased by York International in 1994.
Active brand: Coleman Evcon.
Currently (1999-2022) Coleman® Air Conditioning is a residential cooling system line produced and sold by York's Unitary Products Group which is, in turn, owned by Johnson Controls.

COLEMAN EBE/EUE Electric Furnaces for Manufactured Housing TECHNICAL GUIDE [PDF] (2020) Johnson Controls
Excerpt: The EBE/EUE Series Electric Furnace is actually two systems
in one - an air handler and an electric furnace. As an air handler, it provides airflow for air conditioning and heat pump cooling requirements. As an electric furnace, its range of heating
capacities makes the EBE/EUE a perfect match for the heating
requirements of almost any manufactured or modular home.
