Boiler installation is one of our true specialties at Dye Plumbing & Heating. While many contractors avoid boiler work or lack genuine expertise, we've been installing and servicing boiler systems throughout La Porte, IN and Northwest Indiana since 1939. That's over 86 years of dedicated boiler experience that you simply won't find at most HVAC companies.
Boilers require specialized knowledge that goes beyond typical HVAC training. The hydronic principles, piping configurations, water chemistry, expansion control, and integration with distribution systems like radiators, baseboard, or radiant floors all demand expertise that comes from decades of hands-on experience. Our technicians have that experience—they work on boiler systems regularly, not occasionally.
We partner with Lochinvar for new boiler installations because they build some of the most reliable, efficient boilers on the market. Combined with our installation expertise, you get a heating system that will serve your home faithfully for decades—providing the comfortable, even heat that makes boiler heating so appealing.
Boiler installation isn't like installing a furnace. You can't simply connect equipment to ductwork and walk away. The complexity of hydronic heating systems requires understanding that many contractors simply don't have—and that inexperience leads to problems.
Boiler systems involve unique considerations like piping design and sizing, water chemistry management, expansion control, zone configuration, distribution matching, and control sequencing. When boilers are installed by contractors who lack genuine expertise, problems follow: uneven heating, noise, premature equipment failure, higher operating costs, safety concerns, and repeated service calls.

Proper pipe sizing ensures adequate flow to all areas. Undersized piping restricts flow; oversized piping wastes money and can cause circulation problems.
Treatment and monitoring protect equipment for decades. Neglected water quality shortens system life dramatically.
Tanks and relief valves manage pressure safely. Improper expansion control causes system problems and safety concerns.
Proper design provides independent temperature control where needed. Poor zone design leaves some areas too hot and others too cold.
The boiler must integrate properly with radiators, baseboard, or radiant systems. Mismatched equipment performs poorly.
Programming ensures efficient operation. Improper controls waste energy and reduce comfort.
