Locally Owned and Operated.

Black Diamond Electric was born after owner Preston Seay and his wife Colleen, saw the need for a real, honest process within the solar and electrical industries. Having worked for years for other companies in solar and electrical markets, they saw a consistent issue with the way most companies functioned. The disconnect between sales and installation left a lot of customers hanging out to dry. Too often they witnessed customers being sold one product/service but receiving another, leaving the customer stuck with multitudes of unforeseen out-of-pocket costs.

So, they decided to change the narrative and create Black Diamond Electric! Based in integrity and a customer first mindset, BDE has an experienced master electrician involved from the beginning of every single project. Here you will receive full transparency and expert assistance from the get-go! With reasonable, up-front costs, you can feel confident knowing that you’re receiving real information from industry experts, not just a salesman.

Owners/Master Electrician

Preston is Black Diamond’s owner and master electrician, licensed in Idaho, Utah and Wyoming. His family roots go back generations here in Idaho and alongside his wife Colleen, they manage the majority of BDE operations. They both take pride in small town Idaho living!

Preston’s electrical career began in 2008 with industrial electrical hitch work on the north slope in Alaska. While a unique experience, where he learned a lot, eventually he had had enough of the -60 degree temps and being away from family. He then moved into commercial electrical work, where he spent years building/remodeling hospitals, airports, medical offices, crime labs, etc. In 2016, with Idaho’s solar industry booming, he made the transition into energy services. For the past nine years, he has specialized in all things solar, back-up power and residential related. Preston has truly found his passion in this line of work and the opportunity to work directly with customers.

In his free time, Preston enjoys spending time with his wife and three daughters. He is an avid big game and bird hunter and loves getting his shorthairs out into Idaho’s back country. He is also a dedicated fisherman who can’t get enough of all that Idaho waters have to offer.

  • In the state of Idaho, you do not have to be or employ a master electrician to own an electrical contracting company. This means many Idaho contractors are lacking the years of experience and testing requirements that prove they are experts in their field. Not here at Black Diamond Electric. The owner himself is a master electrician! With years of experience in all aspects of the electrical industry, he is actively involved in every single project! text goes here
