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!

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!

I really appreciate this team seeing what my true needs were for a generator and selling me the right one for my house and not just the most expensive one like everyone else tried to. So far I have been very happy with my Briggs & Stratton whole house generator. The support I have received from Blackhawk since my purchase has been top notch.

Hello friends- I wanted to pop in to give a shout out to Brian Lindsey and the crew at Blackhawk Electric! After calling around and following up with other electricians for quotes and availabily, my family and I were pleasantly surprised at their prompt response and kindness. I am writing this on behalf of my sister and brother-in-law, who asked me if I could give them a big Thank You (during a time of hardship). We are all deeply appreciative to this company for their show of understanding and willingness to work well as a team in such a helpful way. Also- I initially reached out to Brian, after he was recommended by another client. Of course, we now see why! Thank you again so, so much! We would certainly call you again God Bless!!

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.

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.
