About Blacksburg, SC - Happy to be your hometown Heating & Air Conditioning Contractor!

The Town of Blacksburg is a small community located in Cherokee County, South Carolina. As of 2017, approximately 1,900 people resided here. This community is found in Upstate South Carolina about 45 miles southwest of North Carolina. It was originally incorporated as Black’s Station in Honor of John G. Black, but the name was changed in 1888. Blacksburg experienced an “iron rush” in the 1890s due to large amounts of iron ore found in the area. This helped to create significant wealth in the town, and the community was the first in Upstate South Carolina to install electric street lights. Today, Blacksburg is primarily a residential town.

There are many things to see and do in Blacksburg. The Kings Mountain National Military Park honors the Battle of Kings Mountain, which was a major victory of the American Patriots during the Revolutionary War. The Ed Brown Championship Rodeo is held during the first weekend of August, and it attracts around 22,000 people to the community. Other local events include the Iron City Festival and the Anniversary of the Battle of Kings Mountain.

Varied weather conditions affect the Blacksburg area throughout the year, and they tend to change with the season. During the summer, residents rely heavily on their central air conditioning systems, as temperatures and humidity levels rise rapidly. Many days see thermostat readings reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, and muggy air can make it feel even warmer. Center A/C units are now preferred to window A/C systems, as they are more efficient, safer, and easier to operate.

During the winter months, residents will turn off their A/C in favor of a furnace or heat pump. Temperatures cool down into the 40s and 50s, but freezing conditions are possible, especially overnight. Snowfall totals only reach about six inches of accumulation each year, but the right home heating system is still necessary to keep interiors comfortable and to prevent pipes from freezing.
