August 30, 2024

Chesapeake, Virginia – Damuth Services, D.B.A. Damuth Trane, has chosen to transition their business to Trane US, Inc. The acquisition will be official on Tuesday, September 3.

Throughout their history of over 54 years in operation, Damuth Trane has represented the Trane Brand in the Hampton Roads, Virginia, Northeastern North Carolina and Bermuda regions. Over this time, Damuth became the area’s leading distributor and service provider of Trane commercial systems as well as energy and building performance services. The company is known for their industry expertise, dedicated customer support team, and high-performance equipment, which they plan to continue as a part of Trane.

Clint Damuth, President, along with his brothers Phil and Roger Damuth, have taken the opportunity to retire from the business with the sale. Clint plans to serve as a consultant for a period to support the successful transition of the business. “Our sincere thanks go out to our clients, associates, community and business partners for their partnership and support over the years;” expressed Clint Damuth, President; “Having taken over the business from our father, Don Damuth, our goal was to continue his efforts, specifically helping people grow personally and professionally and providing clients with the best possible service. We’re confident that this will continue after the transition. We appreciate your support in this endeavor!”

The Damuth team includes approximately 220 commercial HVAC associates in sales, services, energy services, controls, and administration; as well as 20 parts & supply associates who work at their Trane Parts Centers located in Chesapeake, Newport News and Virginia Beach. At this time, all associates have been provided offers to transition employment to Trane. All three Trane Parts Centers will remain in business as-is, supported by the Trane Supply national organization.
