24/7 Emergency HVAC & Plumbing Service in Michiana

When the furnace quits on a 5-degree January night, the AC fails during a July heat dome, or a pipe bursts at 2 AM, Cavinder Plumbing, Heating and Cooling is on call. We run 24/7 emergency dispatch from three Michiana offices: Granger HQ (13697 Brick Road), Mishawaka (4027 N Home St), and South Bend (3618 W Western Ave). Licensed Indiana HVAC (CO19900013) and plumbing (PC19700254). No overtime markups on after-hours calls.

Emergency HVAC We Handle

• No AC in summer: failed capacitor, contactor, compressor, refrigerant leak, blower motor
• Carbon monoxide detector alarm (evacuate and call 911 first, then us)
• Gas smell near a furnace or water heater (leave the house, call NIPSCO 1-800-634-3524, then us)

Emergency Plumbing We Handle

• Frozen pipe thaw and burst
• Main water shutoff failure

Before You Call: Emergency Shut-Offs

1. Water: Main shutoff is usually in the basement or utility room where water enters the house. Turn the handle clockwise until it stops. If it's stuck, call us; we'll talk you through it.
2. Gas: Main gas shutoff is at the meter outside. Use a wrench to rotate the valve 90 degrees until it's crosswise to the pipe. Then leave the area and call NIPSCO.
3. Electrical: Main breaker is in the service panel. Flip it to OFF to kill all power. Use this for electrical floods, burning smells from electrical equipment, or furnace wiring fires.
4. Sump pump failure: If water is rising in the pit, connect a shop vac or call us. Do not wait for the pit to overflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you charge extra for after-hours or weekend calls?

No. Cavinder uses flat-rate pricing 24/7. You pay the same rate for a 2 AM Sunday call as a Tuesday afternoon call.

How fast can you arrive?

Response time depends on location and which of our three offices is closest. Most emergency calls see a tech arrive within one to three hours, faster for properties near one of our offices.

What if my emergency is life-threatening (gas leak, CO alarm)?

Evacuate the house, call 911 for CO or fire, and call NIPSCO (1-800-634-3524) for gas leaks. Then call Cavinder to handle the HVAC or plumbing repair once the area is safe.

Do you handle commercial emergencies?

Yes. Cavinder's commercial division handles after-hours rooftop unit failures, refrigeration emergencies at restaurants, and commercial plumbing emergencies at offices and production facilities.

Can I pay with a credit card or finance an emergency repair?

Yes. We accept major credit cards. For larger emergency repairs, Synchrony and Wisetack financing is available with online application.
