Last January, we got a call at 2 AM from a family in Cedar Lake. Their furnace had quit in the middle of a polar vortex — temperatures were sitting around negative 8 degrees outside. The dad was on the phone, trying to keep it together while his kids were bundled up in sleeping bags on the living room floor. We had a tech at their door by 3:15 AM. Turns out the ignitor had cracked. Forty-five minutes later, the heat was back on.
That’s what emergency furnace repair actually looks like. It’s not a marketing tagline. It’s a real person calling because their house is getting dangerously cold, and they need somebody who’s going to show up — not tomorrow morning, not “first thing Monday” — right now.
All American HVAC runs 24-hour furnace repair across Crown Point, Saint John, Schererville, Dyer, Lowell, Cedar Lake, Winfield, and Lake of the Four Seasons. When you call 219-600-3120 after hours, you’re not hitting an answering service that takes a message. You’re reaching our dispatch team, and they’re sending a technician with a fully stocked truck.
We keep the most common failure parts on every truck — ignitors, flame sensors, control boards, capacitors, and blower motors. Because when it’s 2 AM and 10 degrees outside, nobody wants to hear “we’ll have to order the part.” Our guys come prepared to fix it on that first visit whenever possible.
Not every furnace issue is a true emergency, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise. If your furnace is making a weird humming noise but still heating your house, that can probably wait until morning. But there are situations where waiting isn’t smart:
Pipes can freeze and burst in just a few hours once your home drops below 55 degrees. We’ve seen it happen to homes in Lowell and Crown Point more times than we’d like to count. Better to call us at 9 PM than to wake up at 3 AM to a cold house.
Here’s how it works. You call, we pick up. Our dispatcher gets your address and a quick description of what’s happening. We give you a realistic arrival window — usually 60 to 90 minutes, depending on where you are in Northwest Indiana and what time it is. Our tech shows up, diagnoses the problem, and gives you a straight price before doing any work. No surprises at 3 AM.
We charge the same rates whether it’s a Tuesday afternoon or a Saturday at midnight. Some companies jack up their prices for after-hours calls. We think that’s a bad look — you shouldn’t get penalized because your furnace decided to die at an inconvenient time.
We’ve been handling emergency heating calls for homeowners across Northwest Indiana for years. Our technicians live in these same communities. Rick, one of our lead techs, lives right here in Crown Point, IN. When he’s on the emergency rotation, he’s 15 minutes from most calls in the area. That matters when your house is losing heat fast.
Crown Point winters can swing from mild to brutal in a matter of hours. When lake effect weather pushes through Northwest Indiana, temperatures drop fast and stay down. Your furnace doesn’t get a break during a cold snap, and neither do we. We understand how quickly a heating failure can turn serious in this climate.
If your furnace goes down and you need help now, call All American HVAC at 219-600-3120. We answer 24/7, 365 days a year.
Furnace emergency? Call 219-690-8930 — we’re available right now.
We typically arrive within 60 to 90 minutes of your call, depending on your location in Northwest Indiana and current conditions. Our techs carry fully stocked trucks to complete most repairs on the first visit.
No. We charge the same rates whether you call on a Tuesday afternoon or Saturday at midnight. You shouldn’t pay extra because your furnace broke at an inconvenient time.
Turn off your furnace immediately, get everyone out of the house, and call us from outside. Don’t try to diagnose the problem yourself or turn any lights on or off. Gas leaks require immediate professional attention.
Our trucks carry the most common failure parts, including ignitors, flame sensors, control boards, capacitors, and blower motors. We complete most emergency repairs on the first visit without needing to order parts.
Call immediately if your furnace has stopped producing heat during freezing weather, if you smell gas, if your carbon monoxide detector goes off, or if your furnace is short-cycling and can’t maintain temperature. These situations can become dangerous quickly.
