When your boiler needs repair, you need technicians with genuine expertise—not contractors who "don't really do boilers" or have to look up basic troubleshooting procedures. At Dye Plumbing & Heating, boiler service is our specialty. We've been repairing boiler systems throughout La Porte, IN and Northwest Indiana since 1939, building the deep expertise that comes only from decades of dedicated experience.
Many HVAC companies either won't touch boilers or lack the knowledge to diagnose problems accurately. They're trained primarily on furnaces and air conditioners, viewing boilers as an afterthought. Our technicians understand hydronic heating systems thoroughly—circulator pumps, zone valves, expansion tanks, water chemistry, pressure controls, and all the components that make boilers work. When you call us, you get real expertise from contractors who work on boilers every day.
Boilers provide exceptionally comfortable heat when working properly—even, consistent warmth without the drafts and noise of forced-air systems. But when problems develop, you need someone who truly understands these systems. That's what we deliver.

Need boiler repair? Call 219-362-6251 for expert service from technicians who specialize in boilers.
We troubleshoot systematically using boiler-specific knowledge developed over decades.
We explain what we find in terms you understand, present your options, and discuss repair versus replacement when relevant. We never use confusing jargon to make problems seem worse than they are, and we never pressure you into unnecessary repairs.
We use proper parts designed for hydronic systems and apply repair techniques developed over 86+ years of boiler service. Our goal is a lasting repair that restores your system to reliable operation.
This thorough approach ensures we identify the actual problem rather than just treating symptoms. Many boiler issues share similar symptoms but have different underlying causes—accurate diagnosis saves you money by avoiding unnecessary repairs.
Circulator pumps are the heart of hot water boiler distribution systems—they move heated water from the boiler through piping to radiators or baseboard throughout your home, then return it for reheating.
Circulator pump problems we repair:
Zone valves control heat distribution to different areas of your home, allowing independent temperature control in different zones. They're motorized valves that open when a zone thermostat calls for heat.
Zone valve problems we repair:
Expansion tanks handle the volume changes that occur as water heats and expands. Without proper expansion tank function, system pressure fluctuates and can cause component damage.
Expansion tank problems we address:
Pressure relief valves are critical safety devices that protect against dangerous overpressure conditions. If your relief valve is leaking or not functioning, we ensure proper replacement and operation.
Relief valve issues we handle:
Aquastats and modern electronic controls manage boiler operation, maintaining proper water temperature and controlling system cycling.
Control problems we repair:

We service both types with equal expertise developed over decades:

Making the repair-or-replace decision requires honest assessment of your specific situation:
