Jim Blakley Sr may not have thought that his business would still be around 40 years later, but Jim E. Blakley has continued his father's legacy through the business his father started.  Blakley says he is providing customized solutions that meet the unique needs of both homes and businesses through his company, called Blakley Heating, Cooling & Plumbing.  The business is now going to be continued through Jim's grandson, Joel, who is proud to continue his father and grandfather's legacy.  The Blakleys are celebrating 40 years of dedicated service to the community this year, having been founded on January 19th, 1985.  Jim Blakley says the business has changed a lot over the last 40 years.

For Blakley, it's all about community. That's what has kept them in business as long as it has, and that's why recognizing their customers is so important to them. For four decades, Blakley Heating, Cooling & Plumbing has lived off the values of quality, reliability, and exceptional customer service. 

Blakley's added plumbing in 1998 and pride themselves on doing the job the right way the first time. They are excited for where the future is taking them, and to celebrate 40 years, they will be holding an open house in Taylorville on May 4th, from 1-3 PM at 700 East Market Street in Taylorville.

Enjoy special giveaways, including a grand prize of a free 95% Bryant Furnace, cookout, and more. 

What started off as one pickup truck has expanded to a full-service team with six trucks and six skilled technicians.  Jim Blakley says he wouldn't be in business today without the countless people who got him to where he is today. While he maintains there are way too many to list off, he did praise some of the people who got Blakley's started.
