Why Triangle Tube works well in Metro Vancouver
Triangle Tube specializes in stainless-steel heat-exchanger condensing boilers and indirect water heaters. In Metro Vancouver, the Prestige Solo and Prestige Excellence series are popular premium picks for hydronic-heating homes that want a long-life replacement with North American support. The integrated combi (Excellence) wraps a high-efficiency boiler around a stainless indirect tank in one cabinet — eliminating the need for a separate hot-water tank.

Triangle Tube FAQs from Metro Vancouver homeowners
Why pick Triangle Tube over Navien or IBC?+
Triangle Tube is the premium American stainless-steel option. The Prestige Solo and Excellence series typically last 20-25 years (vs 15-18 for mid-tier brands) thanks to the stainless heat exchanger. The trade-off is higher upfront cost and slightly slower parts availability than Navien. For long-term homeowners who plan to stay 20+ years, the lifetime cost works out better with Triangle Tube.
What is the Prestige Excellence and why is it different?+
The Excellence wraps a 110K BTU condensing boiler around a 14-gallon stainless indirect tank in one cabinet. That gives you combi-style space-saving (no separate tank) plus the high-recovery DHW performance of a tanked system — addressing the main weakness of tankless combi units (peak simultaneous demand). It's ideal for 3-4 bathroom homes.
How long does a Triangle Tube boiler last in Metro Vancouver?+
A well-maintained Prestige Solo or Excellence typically lasts 20-25 years in Metro Vancouver. The stainless-steel heat exchanger is the longest-life option in residential condensing boilers and Triangle Tube backs it with a 10-year limited warranty.
Does Triangle Tube qualify for FortisBC rebates?+
Yes. All current condensing Triangle Tube models (Prestige Solo, Prestige Excellence, Challenger, Keystone) qualify for FortisBC high-efficiency boiler rebates ($1,000-$1,500). CANRO files the rebate paperwork as part of every install.
How fast can Triangle Tube parts arrive in BC?+
Honeywell SOLA control components and common service parts are stocked at major Lower Mainland wholesalers — usually next-day. Prestige-specific items ship from Triangle Tube distribution with 2-4 business day turnaround. CANRO carries common items in every truck.
Can CANRO service my existing Triangle Tube?+
Yes. We service all Triangle Tube models in Metro Vancouver including older units no longer in production. Annual servicing includes SOLA control diagnostic read, combustion analysis at low and high fire, condensate-trap cleaning, and full safety check.
