Lochinvar's History dates back to 1919 with its founder Walter Vallett, Sr.'s entry into the water heater business. Mr. Vallett was a true industry pioneer, having been instrumental in the development of the first automatic gas fired water heaters early in his career. Walter Vallett, Sr. founded the Walter Vallett Company May 16, 1946. He remained committed to the industry, and active in the corporation, serving as Chairman of the Board until his death in 1982. Bill Vallett Sr. was the second-generation owner of the business and is credited with the vision for the need of higher efficiency gas appliances in the late seventies. He developed the engineering system that has designed today's line of high efficiency water heaters and boilers.

Brief summary different systems
| Hot Water System feature variables | Tankless hot water system features | Storage tank hot water system features |
| Energy cost | Lower cost ... reduced energy losses | Higher losses ... higher energy usage |
| Unit size | Much smaller than hot water storage tank | Large compared to tankless hot water heater |
| Installation cost | Small compared to storage tank heater in new structures but higher in retrofit | More complex to install in new structures |
| Installation space | Compact unit .. saves space taken up by storage tank hot water heater which can be used as closet for example | Bulky heater and tank system with difficult access normally |
| Capacity | When large quantities are required simultaneously flow can reduce or temperature of water is reduced | Normally depending on size of tank capacity is higher for simultaneous use |
