The air inside your home can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. At Dye Plumbing & Heating, we help La Porte, IN families breathe easier with comprehensive indoor air quality solutions. Since 1939, we've been helping homeowners create healthier, more comfortable living environments through proper air filtration, humidity control, and ventilation systems.
Indoor air quality affects everything from your family's health to your HVAC system's efficiency. Dust, allergens, bacteria, mold spores, and volatile organic compounds circulate through most homes constantly. Our IAQ solutions address these concerns at the source, integrating with your existing heating and cooling system to clean and condition the air throughout your entire home.
Most people spend 90% of their time indoors, yet indoor air quality often receives little attention until health problems emerge. Understanding what's in your home's air—and how to improve it—can make a significant difference in your family's comfort and wellbeing.
Homes in Northwest Indiana face several IAQ challenges:
Seasonal Allergens: Pollen, mold spores, and outdoor pollutants infiltrate homes, especially during spring and fall. Standard HVAC filters catch only large particles, allowing microscopic allergens to circulate freely.
Humidity Extremes: Our region's cold winters create extremely dry indoor air that irritates respiratory systems and damages wood furnishings. Summer humidity brings its own problems—mold growth, musty odors, and general discomfort.

We offer a complete range of indoor air quality solutions to address every concern in your La Porte home.
Advanced whole-home air purification using ionized hydrogen peroxide to neutralize contaminants throughout your home.
Whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers to maintain optimal humidity levels year-round for comfort and health.
UV-C light technology to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and mold in your HVAC system and ductwork.
Electronic and media air cleaners that capture microscopic particles standard filters miss.
Energy recovery ventilators (ERV) and heat recovery ventilators (HRV) for fresh air exchange.
Comprehensive evaluation of your home's air quality needs with personalized solution recommendations.
The REME HALO represents the most advanced whole-home air purification technology available. Unlike passive filters that wait for contaminants to pass through, the REME HALO actively purifies air throughout your entire home using ionized hydrogen peroxide.
The system installs in your HVAC ductwork, treating air as it circulates. It creates ionized hydrogen peroxide molecules that travel through your home, neutralizing pollutants on surfaces and in the air. This active approach purifies air in every room, not just air passing through the system.
Electronic air cleaners use electrostatic attraction to capture particles that standard filters miss. These systems charge particles as they enter, then collect them on oppositely charged plates.
High-efficiency media air cleaners use dense filter material to capture contaminants mechanically. These systems offer excellent filtration without the electronic components of other options.
Ultraviolet light has been used for decades in hospitals and laboratories to kill bacteria, viruses, and mold. UV germicidal systems bring this proven technology to residential HVAC systems, targeting biological contaminants where they grow.
UV-C light at specific wavelengths destroys the DNA of microorganisms, preventing them from reproducing. When installed in your HVAC system, UV lights continuously treat air and surfaces, eliminating biological growth before it can spread through your home.
Your air conditioner's evaporator coil provides ideal conditions for mold and bacterial growth—dark, moist, and full of organic material from the air. UV coil lights shine continuously on this surface, preventing biological buildup.
More powerful UV systems treat air as it passes through the ductwork, killing airborne pathogens in real-time. These systems are particularly valuable during cold and flu season.
Northwest Indiana winters create extremely dry indoor air that causes numerous problems. When outdoor temperatures drop, heated indoor air often falls below 20% relative humidity—far below the 30-50% range considered comfortable and healthy.
We install Aprilaire whole-home humidifiers that integrate with your furnace to add moisture throughout your home. Unlike portable humidifiers that treat only one room, whole-home systems maintain consistent humidity levels in every space.
Summer in La Porte brings humidity challenges of a different kind. High indoor humidity promotes mold growth, creates musty odors, and makes your home feel uncomfortable even at moderate temperatures.
Modern homes are built tightly for energy efficiency, but this can trap stale air and pollutants inside. Proper ventilation introduces fresh outdoor air while exhausting contaminated indoor air.
ERVs exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering energy from the exhaust stream. In winter, the system captures heat from outgoing air to warm incoming fresh air. In summer, it works in reverse.
Similar to ERVs, HRVs focus on heat transfer between air streams. They're particularly effective in cold climates where humidity transfer is less critical.
All our indoor air quality solutions integrate seamlessly with your existing heating and cooling system. This integration offers several advantages:
Not every home needs every IAQ solution. We start with a thorough assessment to identify your specific concerns and recommend appropriate solutions.
