It was in 1904 that Charles Bryant began manufacturing high pressure regulators for gas wells. The firm he founded was known as the Natural Gas Regulator Company and was located in Cleveland, Ohio. By 1907, the company was producing gas-fired water heaters. The following year, with the success of the first tubular gas boiler, the firm changed its name to the Bryant Heater and Manufacturing Company. During the mid-1920’s, the majority of all gas boilers sold in the United States were made by Bryant.
Bryant became a part of Dresser Industries in 1933 and later became a leader in the furnace, silica-gel dryer, conversion burner, and unit heater business while still maintaining its supremacy in the gas boiler field. In 1949 Bryant, Day & Night and Payne bought themselves out of Dresser and formed Affiliated Gas Equipment, Inc. (AGE).
In 1955, Carrier Corporation purchased Bryant, Day & Night and Payne. Bryant transferred its management and administrative activities to Indianapolis. In 1974, Carrier formed BDP Company and Bryant became the "B" in BDP. In 1996, the regional Day & Night brand was united with Bryant into one national brand—Bryant Heating & Cooling Systems.
