Quan Nguyễn

Duct Man Mechanical and Duct Man A/C and Heating

For nearly 20 years, Quan Nguyen has built a name synonymous with excellence across Lake, Orange and Sumter counties as an A/C contractor.  As the sole owner of Duct-Man Mechanical, success began with H.V.A.C. (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) — but it didn’t end there. His entrepreneurial drive has fueled passion projects in homebuilding, philanthropy, mentoring local youth and helping others succeed.

“A lot of people define success as the amount of money you have or the stuff you can accumulate,” Quan says. “I used to. But now, to me, success is having good health. And having the health at 42 years old to join the U.S. Air Force — that’s the ULTIMATE FLEX.”

In July, Quan will leave for basic training, becoming one of the oldest enlistees to join the U.S. Air Force without a waiver. He signed up just hours before his 42nd birthday, the new age cutoff for civilian recruits.

A devoted husband to his wife Tiffany and father to Ronin, Alexis and Ty-Bryant, Quan is proud to serve both his community and country. His oldest son Ty will help manage operations along with his brother-in-law Tim, while Quan fulfills a lifelong dream in uniform.
