What Gas Boilers Are Manufactured In The U.S.A.?

Lochinvar is made in Tennessee I believe, except for the heat exchanger which comes from Europe. Great boiler!

I am unaware of a MODCON that is 100% made in America or even North America. Some are assembled here while others are completely manufactured offshore and just rebranded.

The thing about mod/cons and the HX made by a big HX manufacturer is that the HX manufacturer has hundreds of thousands of HXs across the world in many boilers. That almost says more than one which is made in-house. It has it advantages as well as disadvantages. 

When I worked in the automotive industry, outsourcing was sometimes a positive thing. Like when a manufacturer really couldn't make a decent automatic transmission..... then they would use a global source for their automatics and would be much better. Aisin, and ZF come to mind. 

That said, I've used Weil McLain mod/cons as well as NTI which both use the popular AIC (Poland) made firetube HX. Very well made. 

Frankly I do not understand how so many manufacturers survive in the world?
Shrinking market for product that can last for decades.

Energy Kinetics might do good since they won't have a tariff fee.

OT, but sad that S/F is gone.

All the parts inside that equipment is usually sourced from outside the U.S. Even if it's a U.S. company. I know almost every Honeywell/Resideo part I get is manufactured in Mexico. So we'll see I guess.

they will also need to cover the cost of all the foreign sourced parts and materials. even at 4x the cost with tax it is still cheaper to pay the tax than to make it in the us. plus the manufacturer/supplier will reduce the quality to reduce the cost.

True for many of their offerings, but there are some overseas models in every one of their lineups. The Cast Iron bread an butter boilers may be the Made in America products, but any of those ModCon boilers that they offer ans some of the DHW tanks were from Europe and Asia for years. I wish @Roger would chime in about the EK products. I kind of remember the Columbia Boilers have the Made in America label also

Thank you all for your kind words about Energy Kinetics! I'm glad this topic came back around to Made in USA…

All of our boilers are Made in USA with steel and stainless steel from local mills. This includes our gas mod con lineup - I wasn't happy (understatement) with the Euro and Asian models that are heavily designed for manufacturing with tiny water passes and tiny flue passes that can foul and fail. Instead of building a boiler around a foreign pressure vessel, we invested heavily in R&D, development, automation, and robotics to design and manufacture our own pressure vessels in Lebanon, NJ. Has all that hard work payed off? The Accel CS has been on the market since 2013 and we have not had a single pressure vessel failure. They cost more, but are well worth it with long life, quiet operation, and extraordinary efficiency built on high performance, serviceable pressure vessels plus thermal purge for both heat and hot water. Our Sealix "non stick" coated plate heat exchangers are designed to make hot water while driving boiler return temperatures down between 80°F to 110°F, so condensate rains out in a heavy flow and keeps the fire tubes clean. Our Smart Boost means temperature reset can be set very aggressively and the supply temperature will automatically increase if a specific zone is on long enough to require some higher temperature help, techs don't need an engineering degree to set it for best performance and efficiency.

Of course our spiral pressure vessels used in the System 2000 Frontier/Resolute/Ascent models are also made from specially formulated steel from local mills as well. These are built for ease of service, and although we call them 30 year boilers, we have boilers still running from 46 years ago when the company was founded. We also go the extra mile with Made in USA components down to parts like Ward fittings cast in Pennsylvania, our Energy Manager (built to Mil Spec standards in the USA), insulation and refractory, powder coated sheet metal jackets, and more. We offer American Made burners, circulators, and safety controls as standard as well (some of these have a few sub components are sourced elsewhere).

We continue to innovate and build on our model of high efficiency, serviceable boilers that are made in USA. Working direct with installing contractors means we have faster feedback and clear intelligence on where we can improve over issues found with non-Energy Kinetics models, and I have to thank our network of high quality contractors, territory managers, and techs that help keep us more than one step ahead.

Best,

Roger

googling, that's a long time to be in the toilet…

@RTW

 People raved about the low prices at Harbor Freight, and after going in and seeing everything was made outside the USA, I choose Not to buy a single thing and walked out - never to return.

You must be an individual who has chosen to walk around naked…………to the rather unpleasant situation that you have placed all your neighbors. 😁

Did she happen to mention North or South ? She didn't say "Made in USA" ?

When you picture intelligent life on another planet (as far fetched as it seems), do you picture them working as a cohesive whole, or like us?

Maid O Mist was acquired DiversiTech While not explicitly stated in all results, DiversiTech Corporation is widely known to have acquired Maid-O'-Mist. DiversiTech has manufacturing and distribution facilities in the U.S.

The "All" Factor: Companies often source components globally, and product lines can change, especially after acquisitions (Maid-O'-Mist is now owned by DiversiTech, which has global operations). There isn't readily available public information from Maid-O'-Mist or DiversiTech guaranteeing that 100% of every item carrying the Maid-O'-Mist name is exclusively manufactured in the USA.

Now in 2017 Permira, the global private equity firm, announced today that a company backed by the Permira funds has successfully completed the acquisition of DiversiTech,

November 17, 2021 – Permira, the global private equity firm, today announced that the Permira funds have agreed to sell DiversiTech, a market leading supplier of critical Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning/Refrigeration “HVAC/R” Parts, Supplies and Accessories, to Partners Group, a leading global private markets firm, for an enterprise value of $2.2 billion. Partners Group and management will be the largest investors going forward, with the Permira funds maintaining an ownership stake.

So When did you email them 🤣oh and where are they based ? Or is your Crystal Ball still out for repair 🔮🤭

And it's NOT Illinois 😚

Please excuse my skepticism:

I appreciate poster Pauls re-post of communication. However, I would prefer to see posted an actual signed, dated, address, and phone number email from Brian Salem confirming that "ALL components" involved in the manufacture and assembling of Maid-o-Mist / Jacobus are Made in USA. What I see posted is a cut & paste' In fact, ad a Notary Stamp to the document as well

haha made in USA is always better except for this one company. You guys really crack me up sometimes

I have no idea which one is better quality. I'd have to see real data to know and that data doesn't exist. You like yours and I like mine and he likes his it's all fine. I'm just not quite able to understand how everything from China is junk and everything from US and European countries can be good. It's almost like there is something different between them…I can't quite figure it out.
