Corporate History

In 1881, in Bellaire, Ohio, W. J. Tappan sold his wood- and coal-burning stoves door-to-door. During the World Wars, the Tappan company supplied cooking equipment to the U.S. armed forces. In 1955, Tappan introduced the microwave and revolutionized cooking. Five years later they invented electronic ignition for stoves. Tappan became SJC Corp in 1979. In 1998, the Nordyne group, under license from White-Westinghouse, revived the Tappan name.

Product Lines

Tappan's Tech Series furnaces, air conditioners, and heat pumps are targeted to the energy-conscious consumer. Tappan oil furnaces have 80% Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency or AFUE, designed for good performance. Easy to maintain, their units are finished with thermosetting powder coat paint for resistance to scratches and durability. Tappan furnaces come with Beckett burners and permanently lubricated motors; the units function quietly. The service parts are externally accessible.
