On October 25, 1939, the C.A. Olsen Manufacturing Company, later known as LuxaireŽ, was incorporated in Ohio by Mr. Clarence A. Olsen and a few of his associates. Shortly after, the manufacturing of coal and gas warm-air furnaces began in Elyria, Ohio, in January 1940. In late 1942, the company became a top ten producer in its field of 300 competitors, but when World War II arrived, Luxaire immediately designed and produced special warm-air heating equipment for army barracks. It was estimated that over 60% of all army barracks were heated with Luxaire equipment.

Over a period of years, the warm-air heating demand continued and expanded. In 1953, the development of the year-round air-conditioning unit for residential application began, and in 1954 the first Luxaire air conditioners hit the market. In October 1955, Westinghouse Electric Corporation acquired the C.A. Olsen Manufacturing Company as a wholly-owned subsidiary, and on August 2, 1965, the original name of the company was changed to Luxaire, Inc. Finally, on July 1, 1981, Luxaire — A Johnson Controls Company — purchased the Westinghouse facility in Norman, Okla., and the LuxaireŽ plant in Elyria, Ohio.
