Blackie's was founded in 1926 by William B. Murray, originally as Automatic Engineering Co. Murray came to Danville from Washington in the mid-1920s to sell railroad companies a new piece of train equipment he invented. Once that transaction was finished, he liked the area so much he decided to stay.

For the past several years, I have always relied on 'Blackie's' to provide professional, yet personable service at a reasonable price. I trust doing business with a company where everyone is on a "first name basis". :-)

Rob came over and sized a system and we scouted a place to install. He gave me 4 options and then I went with his recommendation. Day and a half to install and it works great. Thanks Blackie's!

We had a great experience with blackies replacing our old broken furnace, water heater and gas lines. They were very friendly and helpful went beyond their scope to ensure our updated system was safe. I would definitely recommend them!

I contacted this company from out of state because a friend of mine was without heat and could not afford to have it looked at and fixed. This company worked with me. They went out and looked at her furnace and fixed her heater all at a discounted price. I had a fundraiser going to pay what needed to be paid and they graciously waited for payment.… They didn’t make my friend wait until they got paid to get her heat working. They waived the amount they charge to diagnose and threw in extras to help her out. This company cares about the person. We need more people like this in our world
