Our history
Founded in St. Louis, Missouri, Nordyne’s legacy of innovation began in 1919 as the International Oil Heating Company. Early on, we introduced oil-burning heaters to help alleviate the pollution covering the city in thick clouds of smoke.
Since then, our storied history has been shaped by groundbreaking milestones in HVAC solutions. From developing the first oil heater and sealed combustion furnace for manufactured housing to introducing an online ordering system years before the competition, Nordyne has stayed on the cutting edge of HVAC while building strong partnerships with our distributors and contractors.
Today, we’re a proud member of the Rheem family, continuing our shared, century-long legacy of innovation and dedication to what’s next.
