Ray Dietrich
Owner
My career in the HVAC business started in 1994. I quickly grew to love every aspect of the field. I eventually worked my way up to partnership in a Monmouth County company and stayed there for twenty years. In 2017 I was presented with an opportunity to own my own business in my community and spend less time commuting. I sold my share to the company and purchased Air Technical Services. It has proved to be the best decision I’ve ever made as the extra time with my family has been priceless.
Aaron Josa
General Manager
I started working with Ray 19 years ago and with Lisa 15 years ago. Together the three of us have a great work bond, which is key to running a successful business, along with the rest of the office and field staff. When I am not working, I’m spending time with my family and playing a lot of sports with my boys.
Lisa Whitley
Office Manager
I began working with Ray Dietrich at Air Technical on April 1, 2019, but my history with Ray goes back to almost 2 decades. I cannot say enough about this fine man. He is super talented and honest, which makes this as good a working situation as I’ve ever had. If that was not enough, I am also teamed back up with Aaron Josa, our General Manager. I along with Aaron helped Ray build the most successful Heating & Cooling Company in Monmouth County prior to his purchase of Air Technical. And we look forward to making Air Technical even more successful and we are already on the way. For fun, I run six-plus miles every morning at sunrise with my amazing German Shepherd Olga.
