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!

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!

After purchasing a new home, I needed Blackhawk Electric install a new whole house generator & whole house surge protector as they have done at 2 of my previous homes. They then returned to do switch relocations and dusk-to-dawn connections for my outside lights. I will always choose Blackhawk Electric for my electrical needs!

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.

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!

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.
