Recall Alert! Triangle Tube Boilers: Urgent CO Safety Notice for Toronto & GTA Homeowners (2025)
Triangle Tube has issued a safety recall for certain condensing gas boilers due to a risk of carbon monoxide (CO) release. The manufacturer has also ceased operations (Nov 3, 2025), which affects parts availability and warranty support going forward. If your serial begins with PT, PA, PTE, PEA, or AE and the unit was made between December 2011 and April 2019, act now: verify your model, book a CO/safety inspection, and register your unit with the recall program.
1) The Safety Recall: Why this matters
- Hazard: Affected units can experience delayed ignition or component damage, potentially releasing carbon monoxide (CO) into your home. CO is colourless and odourless, and exposure can cause severe injury or death.
- Reported incidents: The issue has been linked to two deaths and 25 reports of CO leaks.
- Remedy: A free inspection and repair performed by a qualified technician, coordinated through the official recall program.
Bottom line: Do not ignore this notice. If your boiler matches the identifiers below, prioritize a safety check and recall registration.
2) Are you affected? How to identify your boiler
Product Names
- Prestige Solo
- Prestige Excellence
- Aerco Esteem
Manufacture dates
- December 2011 – April 2019
Serial number prefixes (look for these first):
- PT, PA, PTE, PEA, AE
Where to find the label
- The serial/model label is typically on a white sticker on the boiler cabinet.
- Common locations include the right side lower panel or behind the front panel (do not remove panels if you’re unsure, book a technician to verify safely).
3) New complication: Triangle Tube has ceased operations
Triangle Tube ceased operations on November 3, 2025. While the manufacturer indicates the recall information and portals remain active, this shutdown means:
- Future spare parts will be “while supplies last” through distributors.
- No OEM warranty on purchases as of Nov 3, 2025.
- Long-term serviceability concerns for owners.
What this means for you: Even if your boiler is not on the recall list, it’s prudent to discuss a long-term plan to ensure you aren’t left without heat or parts during peak season.
4) What to do now: A simple 3 step action plan
Step 1 – Check your unit
Confirm the product name, manufacture date, and serial prefix (PT, PA, PTE, PEA, AE).
Step 2 – Register with the official recall program
