Triangle Tube Error E1: Temperature Too High
Boiler temperature rose too high (also reported as code 28), so the control locks out to protect the heat exchanger. Usually a flow problem. We diagnose and repair it across Greater Vancouver — same-day and after-hours.

Triangle Tube fault codes can vary by model and series. Use this as a guide — the same code can have more than one cause. Our Technical Safety BC–licensed technicians read the code, confirm it against your unit's manual, and diagnose the true cause before any repair.
Likely causes of Triangle Tube error E1
- Air in the heating system
- Circulator pump not running
- Insufficient water flow or closed valves
- Low system water pressure
- Faulty temperature sensor
What you can safely check
- Check the pressure gauge reads about 12-15 psi cold and top up via the fill valve if low
- Make sure zone/radiator valves are open and bleed obvious air if accessible at radiators
Beyond these checks, do not open the unit or touch gas/electrical parts — BC law requires a licensed gas fitter. Call us for a proper diagnosis.
Error E1 usually leaves you without heat or hot water and can indicate a safety-related fault. Don't keep resetting it — call for priority after-hours Triangle Tube repair.
