Minus 18in Tenney-Lapham.Every furnace callanswered.
Madison HVAC runs on two calendars: the deep-winter nights when isthmus flats and Middleton ranches lose heat, and the August rental turnover when property managers need forty units checked at once. AVA answers through both.
The Madison HVAC calls that go cold.
Property managers
remember who
picked up.
The direct math is familiar: Madison-area repair visits typically run $250 to $450 and system replacements $5,500 to $9,000. But the Madison-specific multiplier is the portfolio call — a property manager with two hundred doors who decides, at 3 AM, which HVAC company is reachable.
Model it conservatively: miss four calls a week, one of which would have converted at $350, and the leak is about $18,000 a year. Now add a single property-management account — often $20,000-plus in annual service volume — that chose a competitor because their 3 AM call rang out once.
Every figure above is an assumption you should replace with your own. The calculator takes your call volume and tickets and shows you the leak in your numbers, not ours.
What Madison HVAC shops ask first.
Can AVA handle property managers differently from homeowners?
Yes. Known property-management numbers get recognized and routed by your account rules — multi-unit intake, PO capture, direct line to your service manager — while homeowner calls run the standard triage. You define the tiers at setup.
What happens during a real cold snap when calls stack up?
Cold-snap night is the design case: AVA answers two hundred plus simultaneous calls, separates no-heat emergencies from morning-scheduling requests, and routes urgent dispatches to your on-call tech without a caller ever hearing voicemail.
Which Dane County communities can you cover?
Your service map is the boundary: Madison proper, Middleton, Fitchburg, Verona, Sun Prairie, Waunakee, Monona, McFarland — AVA verifies the address on intake and screens out-of-area callers.
Does AVA integrate with our dispatch software?
Captured calls flow into the field-service platform you already run — job details, urgency tag, address, callback — so dispatch works from one queue instead of a voicemail box.
Can it book the August turnover inspections?
AVA captures unit lists, access instructions, and requested windows during turnover season and writes them into your schedule per your rules, so a forty-unit request does not evaporate because the office was already on a call.
