About Heat Shock 2


Headquarters: Connecticut, USA

Industry: HVAC, facilities management, building services

Region: USA - New England

Services: Heat Shock 2 provides HVAC installation and replacement, facilities support, and specialized building services. The company operates multiple crews across Connecticut and New England, handling projects from multi-unit rooftop HVAC systems to large-scale safety and compliance upgrades.

Founded in 2008 with just a pickup truck and ladder, Heat Shock 2 has steadily grown while maintaining a focus on family values and resilience.

Challenges in Compliance Management

Before joining Avetta, Heat Shock 2 managed prequalification and compliance requirements independently, with each client using a different system, form, or risk threshold. This fragmented approach created delays and administrative burdens. Time and energy were spent proving credibility rather than executing work, limiting the company’s ability to scale and compete for larger clients.

The Avetta Experience

At the encouragement of local contacts and existing clients, Heat Shock 2 joined the Avetta network to pursue work with Amazon. The onboarding process was straightforward and immediately centralized all safety certifications and qualifications into one place. This simplified compliance checks for clients and gave Heat Shock 2 a recognizable credential.

Avetta quickly became a growth catalyst. Instead of spending time on fragmented submissions, Heat Shock 2 was able to focus on execution and performance. The credibility of being Avetta-qualified removed barriers with major clients and positioned the company as a trusted partner in competitive bids.

Benefits Experienced

Since joining Avetta in early 2024, Heat Shock 2 has achieved approximately 500% growth. The platform enabled the company to expand its portfolio with Amazon and secure contracts with Staples, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, and HomeSense, dramatically accelerating revenue and scale.

Streamlined compliance and organization:

This credibility has differentiated Heat Shock 2 from competitors and directly contributed to new business wins.

Conclusion

For Heat Shock 2, Avetta has been more than a vendor platform — it has been life changing. By organizing compliance, streamlining onboarding, and opening doors to major corporate clients, Avetta helped a small HVAC and facilities services company achieve 500% growth in under a year.
