Company History
The history of our motors and capacitors stems back to Thomas Edison and the beginning of, the General Electric Company, in 1892. As GE began to grow their business, the motors and capacitors division began and was branded GE Commercial Motors and GE Capacitors. As the industry’s demands changed, GE ECM (Electronically Commutated Motors) was developed. The ECM motor was the first of its kind to bring home comfort and efficiency through a blower motor in an HVAC system. The motors division continued to grow and in 2004, General Electric’s Commercial and HVACR Motors and Capacitors businesses were sold to Regal Beloit. Since 2004, Regal Beloit has continued utilizing the GE brand by branding its products GE ECM by Regal Beloit, GE Commercial Motors by Regal Beloit, and GE Capacitors by Regal Beloit. In 2009, Regal Beloit announced the new branding of its proven and innovative technology to Genteq™.
“We are excited about the Genteq™ brand and we feel confident that our innovation and service will provide you the comfort you have always looked for in your home.”
