The company will retain the Whiteley name and the North Chatham office and will continue to deliver oil and diesel fuel to your home and businesses from the same trucks.

W. Vernon Whiteley Inc., also known as Whiteley Plumbing and Heating, is still owned and operated by Eric and Sara Whiteley. Oil burner service customers will see NO CHANGE. All burner service, emergency after-hours service, oil system replacements and oil tank installation work will continue to be performed by Whiteley Plumbing and Heating.
