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.

Companion Corner: Odie at Second Chance
By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff
ARLINGTON, VT — There is a sweet Beagle boy waiting for his new family to play with.
iBerkshire's Companion Corner is a weekly series spotlighting an animal in our local shelters that is ready to find a home.
Odie is a four year old Beagle who has been at the shelter for about a month.
Lead canine care technician Alaura Lasher introduced us to him.
"He came to us with another beagle friend because his previous owner was moving. As you can see he's a very loving, sweet, sweet boy. He loves his toys and he loves to snuggle. He also loves going outside and running and rolling in all the grass, frolicking along the grass."
Odie loves his stuffies and will even play with other dogs once he isn't shy.
"He does well with other dogs. He can be a little nervous at first meeting other pups, but he does do well with them. We think he'll get along with cats just fine, and kids too, as long as they're respectful."
He would love someone who will cuddle him and give him all of the pets he deserves and throw some stuffed toys around for him.
"The perfect home is honestly just someone who wants to give him snuggles and play with him. He's a pretty easygoing dude. He really just loves affection. Like he'll just come up to you and stand and wait for pets all the time. So, someone who wants a snuggle buddy, who's also you know he's a good age for a snuggle buddy, but also can play with him quite a bit."
He would also love someone who will take him outside to roll around and run as fast as he can or a long walk to enjoy some more sights he has yet to see.
"His favorite things again: toys, snuggles, kisses. Favorite activities are just going outside for walks. He loves to go for long walks with some of our volunteers."
He does not know basic commands like sit but he is very happy to learn.
While he did come to the shelter with some medical needs he is getting them treated and is healthy and ready for his new family.
"He came in and he was positive for Lyme and anaplasmosis, but we are treating him currently for that. Other than that, as far as we're aware, he's a pretty healthy, young boy."
If you need or want a new companion in your home consider meeting Odie.
