Orange’s Leading HVAC, Plumbing & Electrical Contractors
For over 100 years, W.A. Sherman Company has built a reputation for quality HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work. We’ve proudly served Orange and beyond and plan to continue for years to come.
Our History and Legacy
Founded in 1919 by Welford A. Sherman, Sr., we began as an electrical business focused on installing home lighting systems. Soon after, we expanded into plumbing and heating services.
In 1926, we established a partnership with the Lennox brand to sell electrically operated oil furnaces. This makes us the second oldest Lennox dealer on the East Coast today.
After WWII, W.A. Sherman’s son joined the company after earning an electrical engineering degree from Virginia Tech. The father-son duo continued the decades-long tradition of providing exceptional electrical services.
The coming decades saw great change for the company. In 1952, W.A. Sherman sold the business to his son. Two years later, Frederick Sherman Sr. joined the company after serving in the Korean War.
In the early 1980s, Rick Sherman returned from Army service, earned a civil engineering degree, and passed the EIT. In 1984, Welford Jr. retired and passed the business to Rick. In 1987, Rick would go on to earn his professional engineer’s license. The same year, Ben Sherman joined the family business.
Decades later, in 2008, the company was sold to Lader Acquisitions and continued to earn over $3 million in gross sales annually. In 2013, the Sherman family, led by Rick Sherman, bought the company back. In 2024, the company would sell once more to JPB Home Services.
W.A. Sherman’s century-long legacy is one of quality work, exceptional standards, and dedication to customer satisfaction. Throughout the years, the company has become known for all the above — and much more.
