Johnson Controls

Bosch. For years York, Coleman, Luxaire and Champion home systems were Johnson Controls brands, but on August 1, 2025, Johnson Controls completed the sale of its residential and light commercial HVAC business to Bosch. The deal took in the North American ducted business and the global residential joint venture Johnson Controls had with Hitachi. Our Bosch page covers the new parent.

• One engineering platform, many badges. York, Coleman, Luxaire and Champion share engineering and components. What changes from badge to badge is the dealer network, the cabinet styling and the warranty program.
• Light commercial roots. Bosch also bought the light commercial side, including York rooftop units, so the furnace in your attic shares know-how with equipment built for commercial rooftops.
• Refrigerant. In 2024 Johnson Controls launched a residential lineup built for R-454B, the refrigerant most U.S. brands picked for the 2025 low-GWP rules.
• What the sale means for you. The York and Coleman names are staying, and Bosch says it is folding the business into its Home Comfort Group. Support contacts may change, so keep your York or Coleman warranty registration where you can find it.

Bosch’s chairman called this purchase the “biggest transaction in Bosch history.” It nearly doubled Bosch’s Home Comfort division, to about 26,000 employees. Which means the York or Coleman condenser in your side yard now shares a parent company with car parts and dishwashers.

• Heat. York’s lineup runs from single-stage to variable-speed. Through a long string of 100°F days, the upper tiers slow down and keep running instead of slamming on and off.
• Humidity. A clammy house with a York or Coleman badge usually comes down to sizing or fan settings, not the brand. An oversized unit cools fast and shuts off before it pulls the moisture out.
• Attics. Most York and Coleman furnaces and air handlers around Austin sit in the attic, right above a finished ceiling, so the drain line and float switch deserve a look at every tune-up.
• Freezes. When Camp Mabry hit 7°F during Winter Storm Uri in 2021, heat pumps without working backup heat fell behind. If your York is a heat pump, our freeze guide explains what to check.

• Find your registration. Keep your warranty registration confirmation with your house records. The brand changed owners, and a clean paper trail makes any claim easier.
• Use the data plate. The model and serial numbers on the outdoor unit and on the furnace or air handler identify the exact parts. That is how we source them, whichever parent company’s name is on the paperwork.
• Know your refrigerant. Older York systems run R-410A or even R-22; newer ones run R-454B. They cannot be mixed, which matters if you plan to replace only the outdoor or indoor half.
• Think tier, not badge. Because York, Coleman, Luxaire and Champion share engineering, compare quotes on stage type, efficiency and warranty, not the name on the cabinet.

If an older York needs a major repair, weigh the repair against replacement before you decide.

Yes. We install, service and repair York, Coleman, Luxaire and Champion equipment across Central Texas, and the sale doesn’t change how we find parts: we go by the data plate. If yours has quit cooling, start with AC repair; for heat, see heating. Weighing a replacement? Compare options with Build Your Own System. If it’s still running, our Home Maintenance Plan keeps an older York efficient.

Did Bosch buy York?
Bosch bought Johnson Controls’ residential and light commercial HVAC business in August 2025, including York and Coleman home equipment. Bosch uses the York name under a long-term license; Johnson Controls keeps York commercial chillers.

Is Coleman the same as York?
They are sister brands that share engineering, now both under Bosch. They differ mainly in dealer network, cabinet styling and warranty terms.

Who makes Luxaire?
Luxaire was a Johnson Controls residential brand and moved to Bosch with the rest of the residential business in 2025.

Does Johnson Controls still make York air conditioners for homes?
No. Johnson Controls sold that business to Bosch in 2025. Johnson Controls still owns the York trademark and makes York commercial equipment such as chillers.
