Combination Boilers meet every hot water need
Combination boilers are growing in popularity as a compact, cost efficient, and energy source for heat and hot water. Combination boilers provide the efficiencies of a condensing boiler and a tankless water heater in one appliance. This combination is more cost effective than separate boilers and water heaters and much more space efficient. Most combination boilers follow a similar design where hot water heating is simply accomplished with a dedicated hot water heat exchanger built into the boiler cabinet. Triangle Tube’s Challenger Combination Boiler and Prestige Excellence models have innovative designs that differentiate them from their competition making them more efficient with a better hot water response. The Challenger Combination Boiler features a unique two-in-one heat exchanger that provides both space heat and hot water. This innovative design makes the Challenger more compact and easier to install. Because the hot water is heated in the primary heat exchanger, there are fewer components, making it more reliable but more importantly it is much more efficient. With cold supply water flowing into the heat exchanger, the Challenger operates fully in the condensing mode, extracting the most heat possible from the natural gas or propane fuel. The Prestige Excellence Combination Boiler combines Triangle Tube’s high efficiency stainless steel fire-tube heat exchanger with Triangle Tube’s tank-in-tank water heater. The unique tank-in-tank design stores 14 gallons of hot water and can provide 3 gpm of hot water on an ongoing basis. The stored supply provides the hot water response of a traditional water heater. - See more at: http://blog.triangletube.com/#sthash.2j5T66fV.dpuf
High Efficiency Boilers: How modulation improves efficiency
During the dead of winter many boilers work overtime. The cold weather requires boilers to operate at full throttle to keep up with the heat lost from the house. During the spring and fall the heat loss decreases dramatically, reducing the load on the boiler. Traditional boilers are not capable at running at lower outputs so they turn on and off more frequently. While this uses less fuel than running continuously at high output, it is less efficient in terms of heat per unit of natural gas, propane, or oil. High efficiency boilers are able to throttle back their output. This is known as modulation. Modulating boilers determine the amount of heat required (by using outdoor reset) and adjust their firing rate as low as possible to meet the heating needs. Boilers are more efficient when they operate at lower temperatures. Operating at lower temperatures also reduces the cycling of the boiler which further improves the efficiency. Triangle Tube designs and manufactures only high efficiency modulating condensing boilers. Their broad line meets nearly any home size and even includes combination boilers that provide both space heating and hot water.

Triangle Tube - Combination Boilers efficiently produce both heat and hot water
Triangle Tube brings energy
efficiency and simplicity together with their line of combination boilers.
Combination boilers provide both heat and hot water from a single
appliance. This simplifies life by eliminating duplicate heat sources and
frees up space that would be taken by a separate water heater. In
addition, the investment in an energy efficient boiler will pay off when
heating hot water too.
Triangle Tube offers two high
efficiency combination boiler models.
Challenger Combi Combination Boiler - The Challenger
Combi Condensing Boiler is designed to provide maximum performance and
efficiency in a minimum footprint. The The Challenger's compact
size and quiet operation makes it perfect for installations in closets or in
spaces near the living space. The unique dual function heat
exchangercopper water-tube and aluminum heat exchanger provides efficiency and
rugged reliability. In addition, the aluminum design makes the Challenger
light enough for single-person installation if needed.
The Challenger Solo features a
reliable boiler control and an easy-to-install piping bracket. The
compact Challenger Solo doesn't skimp on performance, though, with 4 models
from 85 MBH to 150 MBH, which will be enough for most 4 bedroom homes.
Efficiency is not compromised either, with up to AFUE ratings of up to
93.5%.
Prestige Excellence Combination Boiler - The Prestige
Excellence Combination Boiler combines the efficiency of the Prestige Solo
Condensing Boiler and the performance of the Smart Indirect Water Heater in one
unit. The Prestige Excellence features a revolutionary stainless steel
fire tube heat exchanger for performance, efficiency (AFUE 95%), and
reliability in both heating and hot water mode. For more information on
the this heat exchanger click here.
The Prestige Excellence is a
unique combination boiler. Unlike most models, which do not maintain a
stored volume of water, the Prestige Excellence maintains 14 gallons of water
for immediate use. The tank-in-tank water heater within the unit heats
water so quickly and efficiently that it can handle most showers with an
"unending" supply of hot water.
Triangle Tube - Indirect Water Heaters: The perfect partner to your new boiler.
After this winter, many
homeowners will consider replacing their boiler. The boiler that has
served them well for decades has worked overtime this year. Maybe it is
time to replace it with a new, more efficient model. The energy savings and confidence
in its performance will make it a wise investment.
There are many things to consider
when designing the replacement system. Should the boiler be high efficiency
or cast iron? Should the fuel be natural gas, propane, or oil? How
large should the boiler be? One important consideration is; How should we
heat our hot water?
One of the most efficient and
long lasting solutions for hot water heating is an indirect water heater.
And one of the most efficient indirect water heaters is the Triangle Tube
Smart Series. Smart Indirect Water Heaters feature a unique tank-in-tank
design that provides a rapid recovery rate that heats water twice as fast as
traditional gas water heaters and four times as fast as electric models.
For more information on the indirect water heaters click here.
Maximize the return on your
boiler investment with an indirect water heater. If you already have a
traditional water heater that relatively new, then simply as your installer to
provide connections that will allow an indirect water heater to be easily
installed when a water heater replacement is needed.

Triangle Tube - Condensing Boiler and Indirect Water Heater featured on Hometime
Triangle Tube's Prestige Condensing Boiler and Smart Indirect Water Heater were selected for Hometime's recent home remodel. The Prestige was chosen for the project for its energy efficiency, reliable performance, and ease of installation. The videos illustrate the energy efficient Prestige TriMax Boiler control, which can operate with two different temperatures. This allows the boiler to operate at a lower temperature for radiant floor heating and a higher temperature for domestic water heating with the Smart Indirect Water Heater.
Operating at the lower temperature for space heating allows the boiler to operate at peak efficiency while operating at higher temperature allows for rapid domestic water heating. This is just one example of the energy efficient operation of Triangle Tube boilers and water Heaters.
Triangle Tube - Condensing boilers melt snow at maximum efficiency
The polar vortex has been punishing much of the United States and Canada but many homeowners are fighting back with Triangle Tube Condensing Boilers. Condensing boilers efficiently heat homes and hot water throughout winter and 
the shoulder months. But when snow falls some homeowners get the added convenience of a clean driveway and walkway with a snowmelt system powered by their condensing boiler.
the shoulder months. But when snow falls some homeowners get the added convenience of a clean driveway and walkway with a snowmelt system powered by their condensing boiler.
In snowmelt systems heated boiler water (usually a glycoll mixture) is circulated through tubing under the driveway or walkway, raising the surface temperature to melt the snow as it lands. These systems are not only convenient but they provide added safety especially on slopes and steps.
Condensing boilers are the perfect choice for snowmelt applications. The snowmelt loop operates at low temperatures which allows the boiler to operate at maximum efficiency. In snowmelt applications a condensing boiler can operate at up to 98% efficiency.
Triangle Tube's Prestige, Keystone, and Challenger high efficiency modulating condensing boilers operate on natural gas or propane can all be used in snowmelt applications. With the broadest selection of condensing boilers, you are certain to find one sized to meet your needs.

Triangle Tube - Oil to Natural Gas Conversions pay immediate dividends !
This winter has been especially cold - giving nearly everyone higher heating bills than ever. One group of people that could be seeing lower bills this year are natural gas converts. Homeowners have been switching from heating oil to natural gas over the past decade and this winter is generating more conversions than ever. Not too many years ago, heating oil was the predominant heat source in the Northeastern US. Many homes had oil-fired boilers to fight off the winter cold. That has changed in the last decade as homeowners switch to natural gas boilers.
The US has undergone a transformation in natural gas production, making it more plentiful, reliable, and cost effective than ever. Boilers have also changed, with natural gas and propane high efficiency condensing boilers becoming a money saving "green" choice for homeowners making the switch from heating oil to natural gas. For more information on how condensing boilers operate more efficiently, click here.
The conversion from heating oil to natural gas is paying large dividends this winter. Many homeowners are seeing heating bills 50% or more lower by replacing their old, inefficient oil boiler with a modern high efficiency natural gas model. Massachusetts homeowner Bruce Balder is more than happy with his selection of a Triangle Tube Prestige Condensing Boiler for his natural gas conversion. Bruce reports heating bills that are 90% lower than his neighbors. If you are considering replacing your boiler, contact your local factory-trained contractor for more information.

Triangle Tube - Outdoor reset: Why your high efficiency boiler needs it
Outdoor reset is a simple concept that maximizes the efficiency of your hydronic heating system. Outdoor reset is a key part of all high efficiency boilers. Today's condensing, modulating boilers use outdoor reset to produce heat at the level needed due to outdoor conditions.
High efficiency natural gas and propane boilers can modulate their heat level to meet the heating needs of the 
home. When it is colder outside, a high efficiency boiler sends water to the radiators at higher temperatures than when it is warmer outside. This higher temperature water provides more heat to the house to offset the additional heat lost to the outdoors.
home. When it is colder outside, a high efficiency boiler sends water to the radiators at higher temperatures than when it is warmer outside. This higher temperature water provides more heat to the house to offset the additional heat lost to the outdoors.
As the temperature rises the boiler sends water to the house at lower temperatures and then lower temperature water returns to the boiler. When the temperature of the returning water is below 130 F the boiler is able to condense. This condensing greatly increases the efficiency of the boiler.
Installing outdoor reset is rather simple. An outdoor sensor must be installed in a proper location and then wired to the boiler. Many modern boilers such as Triangle Tube's Prestige Condensing Boiler with TriMax Control recognize that the sensor is connected.
Triangle Tube specializes in high efficiency boilers, such as the Prestige models and the Challenger Solo and Challenger Combination Boilers. For more information, contact your local factory trained contractor.

Triangle Tube - Indirect Water Heaters can replace traditional water heaters
Many homes have separate radiant (hydronic) heating systems and domestic hot water heaters. There may have been a good reason for this in the past. Prior to the wide availability of indirect water heaters, homeowners with radiant heat could either use a tankless coil system or they could use a traditional water heater. Tankless coils heat domestic hot water by passing the water through a coil inside the boiler. This has been a fairly standard water heating solution which eliminates the need to have a separate water heater.
Indirect water heaters were introduced nearly 25 years ago in North America. They heat domestic hot water with the boiler system water, eliminating the need for a separate heat source. As boilers have become smaller, tankless coils were not practical for modern boilers and indirect water heaters became more popular.
If your home has radiant heat, and you are looking for a replacement traditional gas, oil, or electric water heater, it may make sense to replace it with an indirect water heater like the Smart Series models from Triangle Tube. The Smart Indirect Water Heaters use a unique tank-in-tank design that reduces standby heat loss to less than 1 degree F per hour. The Smart Series stainless steel design is robust enough to last a lifetime. In fact it is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Smart Indirect Water Heaters are a green alternative to traditional or tankless water heaters. They can be used with traditional or high efficiency boilers which operate on oil, natural gas, or propane. In addition there are multi-energy models to work with solar water heater systems.
To see more information about Smart Indirect Water Heaters, check out these posts. Contact your local factory trained contractor for an in-home analysis.
