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!

They installed a Generlink generator transfer switch, which is a meter-based all-in-one unit. Brian, the owner, and James, the installer, we're very professional and helpful. They were on time and had the permit, coordinated Mid-American to be here to disconnect the power and reinstall the meter tamper ring. James took the time to explain to me and look at my generator to show me how it would work with the Generlink. I would recommend Blackhawk Electric.

The Blackhawk team was incredible to work with! We had a number of light fixtures and fan installation, smoke/co detector replacement, 3-way and dimmer switch installation and ring doorbell. The entire process from estimate to scheduling to installation was seamless, quick at a very reasonable cost.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.
