That's what I thought.

John,

Can you please tell me where you located this information?

[quote=dvalley]In 1981, Westinghouse was sold to Borg-Warner which is York. Sale rights included names Moncrief, Luxaire, Fraser-Johnston all now used by York International. [quote]

David,
I did not say in any of my posts that Westinghouse was bought out my Nordyne. But according to your above post you claimed the Westinghouse name was still being used by York. This is what started the arguement. I was simply correcting your statement. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

FRASER-JOHNSTON: Became part of Westinghouse. Name dropped in 1978 with end of Westinghouse HVAC products. Name now used by York International.

Westinghouse name is not legally being used by York. The name is owned by Westinghouse on the HVAC unit. Please show me information from York showing this. I have already pointed to two Nordyne owned sites contradicting what you are saying.

Did I get two red boxes for correcting somebody who is wrong? I will keep on posting when somebody misinforms the public. This message board is to help other inspectors, not massage each others egos.

David P. Valley, you are correct. Nordyne bought the NAME. As for the post of Westinghouse made A/C just in the 70's, thats not so. My father-in-law installed and worked on Westinghouse products in the 30's. I have worked on systems he installed in the 1950's plus those that others installed. I knew the date codes then(I have forgotten due to lack of use) and they depened on the first two letters of the serial number. I've been in the HVAC business since 1968 and it is now 2012. Wow, I guess that makes me OLD.
