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.

VTF&W: Hunters Urged to Wear Orange
MONTPELIER, Vt. — Vermont Fish and Wildlife is reminding hunters to wear fluorescent hunter orange.
"Hunting is one of the safest outdoor activities, thanks to advances in education as well as science," said Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Jason Batchelder. "Our volunteer hunter education instructors stress that wearing orange during hunting season is important, and studies prove that wearing fluorescent hunter orange keeps hunters visible to other people in the woods."
"We should strive to be the safest we can by wearing at least a hunter orange hat and vest," added Vermont Hunter Education Program Coordinator Nicole Meier. "Deer are most active during dawn and dusk hours when visibility is low. You can improve your chances of being seen by other hunters by wearing hunter orange, which can be seen even in low-light situations."
"While it isn't recommended to wear orange during waterfowl and turkey seasons, we certainly still recommend hunter orange when you are going to and from your blind, treestand or calling spot," added Meier.
While some hunters might be concerned that deer are scared by hunter orange, in fact deer have been shown to be unaffected by the color. A deer's vision is based on movement, patterns and color variations. Unlike humans, deer do not have multiple color receptors in their eyes. They can see color, but their spectrum is limited. This means deer must rely heavily on their ability to detect movement over the ability to interpret color variations and patterns.
Hunting in Vermont continues to be a safe recreational pursuit and hunters can help keep it that way by choosing to wear hunter orange. This video shows how much more visible hunters are when wearing orange: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kjSI79ss9I
