Really impressed by their work and overall customer service. From my first contact with the office to scheduling and arrival notices, I noticed a high degree of professionalism. Estimates and bills were very clear, and the text reminders included names and photos of service professionals visiting my house.
Travis and Noah were great problem solvers (there's always a few surprises with an older house,) and were dedicated to making sure everything worked the way I needed it to. And they cleaned up after their work. I would definitely work with this company again!

If you are looking for an electrician to use, Blackhawk Electric is who you should call! Damien came out for an estimate and gave us great suggestions to accomplish what we wanted. The estimate was spot on, and didnt change once the job was done. Travis was able to execute those suggestions and created exactly what we wanted and more! Travis listened to me, and took the time to reach out to my husband multiple times to make sure the project was correct. The comminication was outstanding! We are beyond happy with Blackhawk Electric! We will definitely be using them for all electrical needs in the future!

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!

I recently had a fresh install on a bath fan. I am glad I called Blackhawk. Travis and Noah were great and professional. Also fast and friendly. The original quote was a little off, but this was due to the poor condition of my current wiring. I was made aware of this issue and told the new estimate would be higher. I completely understood and was made fully aware of the costs upfront. I will call these guys for all my electrical needs. Thank You Blackhawk Electric you guys are #1.

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.

Blackhawk upgraded an electrical panel box to 200 amps, 40 circuits, with grounding and surge protector. Also added a dedicated circuit in one inside room.
We received several quotes. Estimator was knowledgeable. Later spoke with owner about details. He patiently explained scope of work. Pricing was affordable and competitive.
Work was performed on two different days. Both crews arrived on time, completed jobs as expected. Very professional and thorough. Cleaned up well.
Would recommend to anyone.

Another great experience with Blackhawk Electric & Generators! Had a whole home Briggs & Stratton Generator installed. They made the entire process easy, and everything came together quickly. From first contact, to the estimate, to the delivery & install, everyone was very professional, knowledgeable, and competent. I would have absolutely no hesitation recommending Blackhawk Electric & Generators for anyone's electrical or generator needs!

It was great working with Blackhawk Electric & Generators Inc. They were very polite when answering the phone, identifying themselves when speaking, which I believe is a lost art. Very professional, quick to respond, knowledgeable, friendly, and all around great to work with. I will use them for all my electrical needs!

They were busy as usual. I was in need of quick help. I got help right away. The right kind of help, was up and running soon.
Do not normally give 5 stars, but I did not see any room for improvement in customer service or workmanship. Blackhawk Electric should be the go to if you need quality all around.

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.

Blackhawk Electric gave me the lowest price and were at my house within a couple days to do the installation. Dawson and his crew were friendly and respectful and got the job done quickly. Brian was very helpful post-installation helping me navigate Mid-American's bureaucracy. Overall, very satisfied and I have now have new service to my detached garage and I couldn't be happier.

The staff is very nice and accommodating. The electrician spent a long time here changing the outdoor lamp light since it is hardwired as a 12-24V instead of 120V. The current light bulb bought did not work. So the electrician will be coming back to change out the socket to the one that was used in the old light.

Black Hawk Electric will be my go to electrician from here on out. What a positive experience Brian and his team are from the time I received my quote to the time the work was done at my home with new lighting. I cant say enough about the team communication with me and with each other to complete the work to my satisfaction. Thank you for a job well done.

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.
