What Our Clients Say

  • "We hired Black Dog Electric to install hot tub power with conduit and underground wiring required. We were very happy with the quality, communication and service we received. The price was reasonable as well. We would use them again"

    Adam A.

  • “Our electric bill did see some substantial savings, in total our annual cost was down almost 23% in 2024 compared to 2023. Now it’s somewhat tough to parse how much of that is related to the efficiency of the bulbs and how much of that is to do with weather variance corresponding to our A/C and furnace running. Our Slater location does not have natural gas so everything runs off electric. Comparing month over month from ’24 to ’23, we saw savings in 11 of the 12 months, so it is definitely offering some benefits.”
