Nathan White of White's Plumbing & Heating in Kenai, AK has been named the grand prize winner in Lochinvar Corporation’s 2010-2011 VIP Installation Showcase, the company has announced. In addition, four other VIP Contractors have been recognized as this year’s finalists for their impressive entries and outstanding accomplishments.
The annual VIP Installation Showcase runs November through March and offers enrolled contractors the opportunity to compete on a monthly basis to showcase their installations of Lochinvar boilers at www.knightheatingboiler.com. A panel of Lochinvar judges reviews each installation, and one contractor each month is awarded a $250 prize. From these monthly finalists, one contractor is selected as the overall grand prize winner, and earns a spot on Lochinvar’s “King’s Court” rewards trip.
As this year’s grand prize winner, White will join nine other VIPs, each of whom is selected based on exemplary performance, for an all-expenses-paid, three-day trip to Nashville, TN for the CMA Music Festival, a tour of the Jack Daniels Distillery and a visit to Lochinvar headquarters for a roundtable discussion.
White’s grand prize-winning entry, which was originally recognized as the monthly winner in March, outlined a recent installation of a radiant heating system at an area residence. This high-efficiency system features a KNIGHT Heating Boiler® and a Squire™ Indirect Water Heater. While this marks White’s first grand prize award in the VIP Installation Showcase, he was selected as a finalist in 2008 and 2009 as well.
"I’m honored to be chosen as the grand prize winner of this year’s VIP Installation Showcase,” White said. "Lochinvar is known for being a leader in innovation, and I take great pride in the fact that they’ve recognized this installation as the best of the year.”

- David Dill of Western Montana Plumbing & Heating (Missoula, MT) – December Winner
