MANHEIM, Pa. — Duct-cleaning and HVAC restoration company DUCTZ recently awarded ownership of DUCTZ of South Central PA to Jerry Aument.

Before assuming ownership of the location, which is now a service-disabled veteran-owned business under his leadership, Aument served in the U.S. Army for more than three years, service that included a nine-month tour in Iraq.

“When I first began looking into potential business opportunities, I knew I wanted to go into business with a respected brand that has established a reputation for setting industry standards,” Aument said in a press release. “This, combined with the brand’s commitment to integrity, quality service, and customer satisfaction, made my decision to franchise with DUCTZ fairly simple. I was also drawn to the prospect of offering services that make a positive impact on peoples’ lives by improving air quality in their homes and businesses.”

DUCTZ technicians provide solutions suited to the specific needs of homes and businesses, the press release said, and DUCTZ teams adhere to National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) and ACCA standards.

“The DUCTZ family is excited to welcome Jerry to the network. Jerry’s personality and confidence in the business make him the perfect addition in the Pennsylvania market,” said Jessica Wicks, president of DUCTZ. “The DUCTZ team looks forward to the great value Jerry and his team will bring to the Lancaster, Hershey, and Hanover communities.”
