Taking the Leap into Franchise Ownership and Bringing Reliable HVAC Services to Their Community

Jonathan Zeis didn’t come to franchise business ownership by accident.

For him, the decision to open an Aire Serv^® business was about building something dependable, both for his customers and for his future. In fact, franchise ownership offered Jonathan to grow into business ownership in a way that took the guesswork out of the process.

Coming from an engineering and program management background, Jonathan was drawn to the idea of owning a service business with a proven framework. He wanted an opportunity where strong systems and operational support would allow him to focus on delivering great service, rather than reinventing the wheel. Most importantly, he was looking for a business rooted in trust and reliability.

For all of these reasons, Aire Serv stood out to Jonathan immediately. Backed by the Neighborly^® network and known for its professional standards and customer-first approach, this gave Jonathan the confidence to take the leap into franchise ownership. In 2024, he opened his Aire Serv franchise serving South and Southeast Charlotte, North Carolina, ready to bring consistent, high-quality HVAC service to his local market.

Since then, Jonathan has focused on building a successful business grounded in professionalism and respect. By following Aire Serv’s established systems and best practices, he’s been able to lay a strong foundation for growth while maintaining a high standard of service from day one. Today, Jonathan is proudly serving the Charlotte community by offering essential home services that make a real difference in people’s daily lives.

In many ways, Jonathan Zeis’s story reflects how the right franchise, paired with commitment and care, can help new franchise owners build trusted local businesses with the community they service at the heart.
