We had a new sub panel put into the garage for our growing electrical needs. The crew arrived o
time as scheduled, very courteous, very informative of all work being done and very clean. Not only did they install the sub panel, but they ran all the wire to that (approx 85 feet through basement and attic), installed an inline exhaust fan and new outlets for items, but they came in UNDER budget! Thank you Blackhawk Electric! Will hire again in the future!

We have a Kohler Generator, which I believe, is not a unit that Blackhawk or Steven (the technician) regularly service. They were here quickly and diagnosed our problem. It took about a week to get the part as Kohler is very selfish with their parts. It was installed very fast. We were operational except for a programming detail that fed the WiFi. Steven came out and tried quite a few ways, in the same trip, to conquer the problem, before he had success (it was impressive!). We and Blackhawk are lucky to have Steven as a technician. We are very happy with the outcome!

These guys were crazy good. They responded to me very promptly. Sent me periodic updates about when they would be arriving when they got here. They figured out the problem almost instantly everything was done within an hour, and the fee was extremely reasonable.
I cant recommend them high enough, and I will continue to do business with them.

Two Very nice technicians came out today. . I told Trevor all the issues we were having and he listened to everything I had to say. Very patient and understanding. Once everything was explained they got right to it. They inspected the panel and multiple outlets. located several issues quickly. Identified and replaced a burnt outlet behind our dishwasher, replaced several other bad outlets in our kitchen and fixed a few loose connections. Also replaced a bad gfci outlet in our bathroom and fixed an outlet box in our living room that was hanging out of the wall. Excellent work all around. Very professional. Highly recommend.

Amazing service! Travis was absolutely fantastic! Friendly and very knowledgeable! (Travis didn't complain or get upset about our loud, annoying dogs...thank you!) We had a plug installed for our air conditioner and the process was super smooth! 100% recommend these guys for any of your electrical needs! Affordable, too!

Most outstanding contractor and team I have ever worked with. *****
Wanted to purchase a whole house generator. James promptly visited and the company followed up with a quote. I had questions and was able to speak with Brian. He clarified some things regarding the generator and we also talked about "what ifs???" He was kind and patient and took his time with me. Five stars for just that. *****
I went with Blackhawk Electric & Generators because they helped me understand what I was purchasing and the service I will be provided. I went with a 18kw generator and they supplied the EMP shields that I additionally wanted installed. I didn't have any doubts that I made the right decision with product and company.
Installation day was flawless. They arrived on time and went to work. These guys know what they are doing and know how to effectively communicate with each other and the homeowner. They are amazing and you will be a happy homeowner too.

Thank you so much for helping my household be safe. After 1st fire in junction box wires were replaced but problem continued. Having a knowledgeable electrician check it out and fix problem correctly we know we are safe. Everyone was so helpful and came out right away. Will be using them for all electrical needs in our future.

Johan and Travis installed electrical and 3 ceiling fans in our home. The quote was fair and they arrived on time and both were very pleasant and knowledgeable. It was a big job (crawling in the attic insulation) and despite this they took the time to repair an issue they found in the attic unrelated to the fan installation. I highly recommend Blackhawk and frankly I wouldnt call anyone else based on my positive
experience.

My generator stopped working in the middle of a storm. I called at 7:30 am to see if someone could come out to LeClaire to help me. Luckily someone was in the area and by 8:30 am they had fixed the issue. They said a wire had gotten disconnected since they arent very tight coming from the factory. It was a simple fix so I was given a small discount on a price that was already less than I was expecting. The person who took my phone call and the technician were both incredibly nice and helpful. I will be using them for all future electrical work.

I called and spoke to Brian, who identified himself as the owner. He was very personable even though I probably explained my issue exactly like a first-time homeowner who has never had to think about electrical problems in my life. Despite my stumbling explanation, Brian said he believed my issue was likely something caused by the electricity going INTO my house, which MidAmerican would fix for free. He very plainly did not want to waste my time or money if he did not have to and said if they can't fix my problem, to call back and he'd come help me out. Well, he was right and I am so thankful for his kindness! I will definitely be calling Blackhawk when I DO need an electrician.
