No-heat line, answered by a person
Most calls are one of these six. If yours isn't, call anyway. We'll tell you straight if it's a job for someone else.
- 01
Furnace repair
Same dayNo heat, short cycling, a smell you don't like. The common parts ride on the truck, so most repairs finish on the first visit.
- 02
AC repair
Warm air from the vents or ice on the lines. Diagnosed in one visit and priced before we start.
- 03
New systems
When repair stops making sense, we'll show you the math. Honest quotes on the major brands, installed by our own crew, never subcontracted.
- 04
Tune-ups
Before the first cold snap and the first heat wave. Twenty-one points checked, filter changed, a written report with photos.
- 05
Indoor air quality
Humidifiers, whole-home filters and duct cleaning for the house that's always a little dusty or a little dry.
- 06
Water heaters
Tank or tankless. Same-day swap for most standard tanks, so nobody takes a cold shower twice.

Sarah picks up on the second ring. She asks what the furnace is doing, how cold the house is, and whether anyone home is very young or very old.
Since 1999
Dale Wozniak was a union pipefitter who got tired of watching people overpay. He started Cranefield with one van and a pager in 1999. His daughter Renee runs it now, and he still drops by most Fridays with donuts.
We're fourteen techs, two dispatchers and one very particular office dog. Every tech is ours: trained here, paid hourly, never on commission. That last part matters more than it sounds.
“Nobody on this team gets paid more for selling you a furnace. That's on purpose.”
- Price agreed before work starts
- Techs paid hourly, never commission
- Two-year guarantee on repairs
- Shoe covers, every time
Most breakdowns we see in January started as something small in October. The club is how you catch them early.

New furnace, AC or heat pump
Replacing a system is a big check to write. We come out, measure the house, look at your ductwork, and put two or three real options on paper.
- 1We call within one business day to set a time.
- 2A tech walks the house and checks the ductwork. About an hour.
- 3You get a written quote with two or three options, good for 30 days.

Called at 7:40, he was in my basement by 8:30. Honest about what it needed, and what it didn't.
Another company quoted us a whole new system. Cranefield replaced a $90 part. That's how you get a customer for life.
Shoe covers on without being asked, and they cleaned up better than we keep the place.
AC died during the July heat wave. They dropped two fans at our door within the hour while they waited on the part.
No commission, no pressure. He actually talked us out of the upgrade.
Renee called the next day to make sure the heat was still holding. Who does that anymore?
Fair price, on time, and the dispatcher remembered our dog's name from last year.
Tankless water heater swapped the same day. The install looks like it came out of a catalog.
Still not sure? Call us. A person answers.
Most of Porter County gets a tech the same day. If your heat is out and it's below freezing, you go to the front of the line, nights and weekends included.
Call and a person in Valparaiso answers, day or night. Or leave your number and we'll call you back within 15 minutes during open hours.
