About Lochinvar Commercial Boilers
Lochnivar is an American-founded company that made the transition across the pond to the UK in 1976, and they’ve been creating high-quality hot water and heating solutions ever since. Walter Vallett first created a water heater in 1919 and it was the first of its kind to be gas-fired automatically.
The company expanded very quickly, and by the late 1950s they were producing water heaters for domestic and commercial use, as well as larger industrial water heaters. Many of the boilers around the world today owe their engineering in part to this company, as they developed the highly efficient systems used even today.
In 2011, the Lochnivar brand in both the USA and the UK were picked up by A.O. Smith, widely considered one of the most prominent water heater manufacturers in the world. They vowed to continue their mission in making Lochnivar commercial boilers a reliable and energy-efficient appliance, and have invested heavily in new technologies like renewables and solar as well as air source heat pumps.
