How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before opening electrical boxes or pump housings. Water may be hot.

  • Step 1 – Check boiler status: Confirm the Triangle Tube boiler is firing and reaching the set temperature on the display.
  • Step 2 – Feel piping: Carefully touch (briefly) the supply and return pipes leaving the boiler. If the supply is hot but downstream piping is cold, flow is not reaching the system.
  • Step 3 – Verify pump operation: Listen and feel the system circulator. If silent, check its power switch, fuses, or relay. Replace the pump if it is powered but not turning.
  • Step 4 – Check zone valves: Ensure motorized zone valves are opening when thermostats call for heat. Manually open them for testing if possible.
  • Step 5 – Bleed air: Bleed air from high points and manifolds to restore circulation.
  • Call a technician: For persistent no-heat issues, a professional should test pumps, valves, and the system design.
