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!

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.

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.

Steven was great. He worked on our generator. Responded quickly & in the rain. Took his work seriously & looked for additional issues while present - replaced a recalled board. Easy to speak with, friendly, caring & very knowledgeable. The right kind of person to have on your payroll. I'd give him 10 stars out of 5 (10/5 *'s).

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!!

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.
