With the rebates and other incentives totaling $4500 it is too good to be true, so there is no better time to do it. Redwood Hi Harry,

In my opinion the Triangle Tube Prestige is a great unit and that is shared by many in the trade.
With the rebates and other incentives totaling $4500 it is too good to be true, so there is no better time to do it.

This will replace a 26 year old Burnham with a 78 percent AFUE -- as part of New Jersey's NJ Home Performance with Energy Star Program. In addition to the $1,500 federal tax credit, we are guaranteed by the contractor the NJ rebate of $3,000 when we achieve 25 percent energy efficiency savings. It all seems too good to be true. What am I missing? What do I need to look out for?

I don't have actual numbers to back up what I say but they are quiet. Redwood Hi Vicki,

I have an estimate for the Prestige PS 110,000. Noise is an important factor in my selection. How would you rate this boiler for quiet operation?

Lemon... I have appx 50 of these boilers installed. There have been very few problems. The best in the industry as far as I have seen for repairs. If there are problems, it is usually set up and install errors. Once in a long while there has been a bad circuit board but I think I have had 1 out of 50 which is great record. You must set up with analyzer to make sure combustion is right. Power supply is critical, check for proper clean power and ground. This is the most often thing I see is bad power supply will shut boiler down on E04 error code, ? i think I am remembering the code # right, I am not in front of book. Note down the error code on the display if it shuts down on you again in near future. Respond to this post if you have further problems and maybe I can direct you a bit. Re: several problems, ?

With out knowing the problem it is difficult to diagnous. The only problems I have run into is in the software. When programing I in advertantly change the peramaters. A quick call to the factory fixed that. The Solo is just a tank with heat going through it. The control board has some problems with voltage spikes and brown outs. I never saw them. Like all boilers flue gas recirculation is a problem. (Not near as large of a problem as most brands) The next item is flow, is it set up as a true primary secondary system? Is the boiler over sized? Are the control peramiters set up right for your system. You can lower temps etc. Do you have enough flow? All boilers have a minimum flow rate. I have put several Solos in.

The physical size and weight of your old boiler, whether asbestos is involved, and access in and out of where the boiler is are probably some of the biggest factors. Redwood Hi Fredrick,

The outlet temperature will vary depending on outdoor reset and the operating parameters that are set into your boiler. You can read about this in the <a href="http://www.triangletube.com/documents/1/Prestige_60_175_250_399_Ml.pdf" rel="nofollow">installation and maintenance manual</a> starting at the set up on page 43 Thanks for commenting, Redwood Hi Tim,
