BENNINGTON, Vt. — A former Aerus Electrolux employee has started his own business to keep the filtration company’s products and services in the area.
When Aerus Electrolux — known for selling and servicing vacuums and air purifiers—abruptly closed at the end of December, Tyler Waldron decided to help local customers continue getting serviced by opening Tyler’s Healthy Home.
"They offered me something called the distributor program, which means I still can carry the product, the supplies, [and] still honor the free yearly service checks for any Aerus Electrolux products."
His new business is operated out of his home office, however, he still offers various Electrolux products and services including free air quality tests and service checks.
Currently he is the only employee, but has plans to open a storefront and expand his team as the business grows.
Waldron had started working at Aerus Electrolux's Pittsfield location in January 2025 and was learning to become the next owner.
"It's kind of crazy to think about that in a year, you can go from an employee to a business owner but that was the goal from the beginning," he said.
"That's why I took the job, because I felt it wasn't a job. I felt like it could be a career for me...it's just crazy to see a year go by and it actually come to fruition like this."
His services include air quality checks that measure pollutants, bacteria, viruses, dust, and pet dander. He continues to offer a free annual service check for Aerus Electrolux air purifiers and vacuums.
Currently, he is not servicing vacuums as it is too cold, but once it warms up, he will be able to check on your products.

CAT-TV: Tell Your Story in 60 Seconds
BENNINGTON, Vt. — There's still time to make a movie — and it only needs to be one minute long.
CAT-TV and GNAT-TV are inviting local filmmakers, students, families, first-time creators and experienced storytellers to take part in the competitive 2026 Shires 1-Minute Film Fest.
The idea is simple: create an original film that is 60 seconds or less and submit it by the extended deadline of Oct. 9.
"We really want people to know this is something anyone can try," said William Gardner of CAT-TV. "You don't need to think of yourself as a filmmaker or have expensive equipment. Come up with an idea, grab your phone and see what you can create. Sixty seconds goes by pretty quickly."
Films can be funny, dramatic, documentary-style, animated, experimental, heartfelt, strange or something completely unexpected. You do not need professional equipment or filmmaking experience to participate. A phone, camera or tablet and a good idea are enough to get started.
The festival is open to all ages and experience levels. Films must be original, 60 seconds or less and appropriate for a public community screening. Participants should also follow the festival theme and/or dialogue choices and review the complete submission guidelines before entering.
And with the submission deadline getting close, there is a little extra incentive to finally make that film you have been thinking about.
