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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
