Welcome!

As the third generation of my family to manage Skuttle Indoor Air Quality Products, I am pleased that you have chosen our products for your home.

I am also the first generation to get really excited when new technology is introduced. It does not matter if the technology is HVAC-related or a new app that adds bells and whistles to my home computer.

Our engineering team is currently developing new product technologies that will take us into the future. At the same time, they apply proven technology to our tried and true products. In the meantime, we will supply parts for our units so our customers can get the most out them.

Hi-tech or lo-tech — we deliver high performance. 

Thanks for visiting!

Proud of Our Past, Confident in Our Future

In 1917… In a small shop in Detroit, Michigan, John L. Skuttle began to pioneer plumbed, central-system humidification for residential applications. 

• Mary Pickford was America’s Hollywood heartthrob; 

• a young Babe Ruth began capturing national attention for his batting and pitching prowess;

• John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born;

• the United States entered World War I, “the war to end all wars”;

• and Walt Disney graduated high school. (The world’s introduction to Mickey Mouse was still a decade away.)

Skuttle Manufacturing Company’s first product was an automatic fill valve to monitor water flow into coal furnace humidifiers. Through-out the 1920s and early 30s, Mr. Skuttle continued to invent humidification and plumbing related products—many of them for in-home use.

In 1935, Skuttle Manufacturing was purchased by Milton Powers, chief engineer of Timken Furnace Company. Although Mr. Powers remained in his position with Timken, Skuttle began to grow significantly under his leadership and the onsite supervision of general managers. Product innovation and a commitment to finding a niche within a rapidly expanding HVAC industry helped make Skuttle a familiar, trusted name among wholesalers, contractors and homeowners alike. 

In the decades that followed, Skuttle would produce such popular residential IAQ products as the Model 600 Plate Humidifier (a former industry standard), the Models 45, 90 and 190 Drum Humidifiers, Model 60-Series Steam Humidifiers, and Model 2000-Series Flow-Thru Humidifiers — all industry leaders today.

In the 1950s, Skuttle moved its operations from Detroit to Milford, Michigan, then to Marietta, Ohio, in 

1977. In the mid-90s, to clarify its position in the marketplace, Skuttle Manufacturing Company began doing business as Skuttle Indoor Air Quality Products.

Today, under the capable leadership of President and CEO Davis Powers and long-time Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Marty Hansell, Skuttle continues to set industry standards for humidifiers, air cleaners and make-up air controls for residential applications. 

As it was in 1917, so it is today… Skuttle stakes its reputation on outstanding quality, performance and customer service.
