Quick friendly amazing service. Explained every thing they were doing clearly and showed us repairs when finished. Affordable pricing and great people all around.
Lightning Bug, in general, and my specialist in particular, Christian, were easy to work with, very knowledgeable and extremely professional. Would recommend and use again.
Great experience from start to finish. They contacted me promptly and made scheduling very easy. I received an appointment reminder, and they called when they were on their way. They were professional and courteous, replaced and installed an indoor ceiling fan, and fixed an existing wiring issue on our outdoor deck…
Josh and the team were wonderful! They were prompt, communicative, friendly, and did a great job for a great price. I recommend these folks to anyone!
Gabrielle and Griffin were very professional and great communicators.
We needed some electrical repair work needed same day and they were able to work us in! Christian was incredibly knowledgeable, courteous and helpful! I would absolutely recommend Lightning Bug Electric and their technicians!
As a PM I appreciate the comprehensive service, efficiency, and excellent communication. Will use again.
Chris W. and his helper did a fantastic job in a very timely manner. Very courteous and professional.
Fantastic experience. We have had a now long standing problem with breakers tripping and a set of light switches not working. We had Steven and Marcus come out today and resolve all of that for us. They took their time to understand all the issues, provided an estimate, and completed the work the same day once I…
Excellent work on the unit, plus, Taylor provided needed tune up and new battery in one afternoon. Gave good advice and feedback for all my concerns.
On Saturday, our AC unit went out. After replacing the capacitor, I noticed a very unusual smell coming from the breaker box. I immediately called Lightning Bug Electric, since I had used them before and I’m so glad I did. It turned out the original Challenger breaker panel had failed, and the breakers were…
Lightning Bug Electric did an AMAZING job. I was experiencing intermittent issues with breakers tripping. LBE quickly arranged for Cody to come assess my home. He quickly diagnosed a significant danger with my panel overheating and provided a very approachable price to address the issues. LBE prioritized a…
They were super friendly and helpful! They explained what they were doing and why in layman’s terms.
A great local company. Everyone I've interacted with there takers pride in their work and their customers' satisfaction. Technicians are professional and good at communicating with the customer. Our small business has used them for years for all sorts of needs. Most recently, we had Griffen do work at our site. He did a great job.
I've used LIghtning Bug several times for a wide variety of issues and upgrades with our 1960s home and they've been great! Griffen and Christian were standouts for their knowledge, skill, and professionalism plus a true get-it-done mentality. Cody was also great in proposing options with solutions that wouldn't…
Mike provided excellent customer service. He explained potential issues very clearly, made repairs efficiently, and made certain job was completed to our satisfaction. We would highly recommend Lightning Bug Electric
Great friendly and efficient service! Daniel was informative and thorough about the work that needed to be done. Very satisfied!
Not my first time using Lightning Bug but always a pleasure. For this instance I had a couple concerns with wiring in an older townhouse. Tim came out right away despite the holiday week timing to give me an estimation and also help with what work could safely wait (post holiday bank account stress lol). Griffin and…
Lightning Bug Electric did an outstanding job from start to finish. Their communication was clear, scheduling was easy, and they showed up on time ready to work. The electrician was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to explain everything before getting started. The work was completed efficiently and…
The whole team at Lightning Bug was great to work with! Cody was great assessing our problems and going over what work we need to get done now and down the road. And I have to give a HUGE SHOUTOUT to Taylor the Rat King and Saint Steven! Really great guys that came in and got my furnace wiring and a new circuit breaker setup. Thanks again guys!
The workers were professional and updated us the progress of the work. Work was completed as promised. I was pleased with the service provided.
We have had Lightning Bug out twice in the last few months for separate issues. They have been knowledgable and good to work with. They have completed all of the work correctly both times! They seem to be a little on the expensive side, but haven't compared, so not 100% sure on that. We will use again.
Fantastic Service & quality work. Will always use Lightning Bug in the future.
Thanks to Leo and his partner for getting to my questions & analyzing current data in my equipment. I feel better after their check on what I needed. Knowledgeable and efficient with their time.
Are you kidding, this is the first time I had anyone work on my house and these guys were so professional, quick and hard working. Easily the best money I have ever spent. Thanks Griffen and Jamal.
Quick response, honest assessment, competitive price, excellent workmanship. I have nothing but good things to say. My complements to Cody, Aaron and Steve on a job well done.
What a great experience from customer service rep getting back with me on scheduling appt, to keeping me posted on technician status when in route and yes, yes working with me and my work schedule. Company was recommended by Trust Dale Certified Service Guide. I was seeking home electrical inspection for I have…
We recently engaged several companies to get some quotes for some long overdue work, and Lightning Bug was fantastic to work with. Bryson came out took a look at things, and was able to explain in clear terms what he felt would be best, and why. He walked us through what to expect the 'day of' so we were well…
Technician was extremely polite and took time to find the problem and worked hard to get it completed today. I appreciate the prompt service and it is helpful to send a picture of the technician before arrival. It makes the homeowner feel more secure.
I had a great experience with Josh as my technician. He was thorough with his troubleshooting process and explained things clearly to me as well. I have already scheduled for him to come back to the house for more work and I am happy that I have found an electrical company I can rely on!
Did a great job and was very prompt. Would recommend.
Steven V was great!! I was very impressed with him and his approach to my issue. He was very honest about the issues and options available to me. I will be calling them again to complete my work.
This is the second time I have used Lightning Bug Electric. The first time was for my home and today was for one of my commercial properties. Jeremy replaced a switch in breaker panel and a light fixture in the break room. He is very professional, knowledgeable and thorough. I will definitely use LBE for any…
Jeremiah and Don were very friendly, helpful and thorough. They were conscientious and seemed genuinely concerned about our safety.. Their work was already tested by a lightening strike which resulted in no electrical damage.
We trust this company explicitly. Their expertise and their staff, especially Steven are very hard to come by these days. We highly recommend LBE.
Best electric company I've had the pleasure of using. They were fast,efficient, patient, and willing to work with my budget. Will be using them for all projects going forward for sure.
We had three gentlemen (Steven Griffin and Brandon) work on our project to do wiring and install ceiling lights in basement. they provided good guidance, did good quality and timely work. We have used their services second time and are very satisfied with their services.
Very polite and professional
The team from LBE was amazing. I'm a former contractor. It's great to see real professional tradesmen that hold themselves and the quality of their work to higher standards than even those required by code. They upgraded the service and rewired my 1962 model home which I knew was not going to be an easy project.…
Steven V did an excellent job. Answered all my questions.
Cale at the lighting bug electric company has been the best electrician I have dealt with so far in the Atlanta area. I had a power outage in 2 rooms and he was able to identify the issue quickly and fixed the same day. He was very knowledgeable, professional, informative, fair and honest. He did not try to sell…
I requested service for several issues ("I'm not sure where to start ...") after hours and was contacted the next morning. Austin came out and determined that my home needed a full inspection to identify each area of concern before we scheduled any work. He arranged for Griffin and Steve to come the same day.…
Electricians were very thorough, offered honest advice and cleaned up on their way out. They actually removed an exterior outlet where we have a leak so we could get leak fixed before replacing out let. Nice safety catch. Would def use them again.
Sam at Lightning Bug went above and beyond. I called in late on Friday and he showed up quickly and worked 2 hours searching for the issue. They made sure to also clean up any drywall that may have fallen, covered shoes, etc. You would have never known they were here, other than the lights working perfectly again.…
Always the most reliable, honest and affordable. We’ve dealt with other electricians who are not, and Lightning Bug will have our business from here on out!
Service technician Dakota is a highly skilled and personable professional
Steve and Chris did an outstanding job! From the moment they arrive to the minute they left it was a great experience. They showed up and put down a floor mat outside the door. I explained what was wrong and they went to work. They assessed the problem quickly and went to work. They checked the panel box and…
Steven was amazing!!! If I could give him 10 stars I would. Very knowledgeable of what my house had going on. Please choose lighting bug electric you want go wrong
Can’t say enough good things about Dakota with Lightning Bug Electric!! He is extremely knowledgeable and very patient and he thoroughly explained everything he was doing.

I've been using Lightning Bug for all of my electrical needs since 2016, when I lived in Dunwoody. They've always gone above and beyond, Bobby and James and Josh in particular, even coming out when I moved to Lilburn before it was technically part of their service area! Most recently they did a bunch of work on my…
Responsive and got the job done so I could have electricity as soon as everything could be done by all parties involved to supply it.
Griffin and Justin were quick to diagnose and fix our bad outlet. We also had them do a whole home electrical inspection while they were out. Very thorough, considerate, and knowledgeable team!
Dakota C. has come by twice in the last two weeks for separate issues. He quickly found the cause of both problems, explained and recommended solutions in a friendly, professional way, and fixed it all. He was willing and eager to answer all our questions and went out of his way to explain ways to avoid the same…
Very organized checkout of problem. Found problem and fixed it. Professional work. Will use again if needed. Will recommend to neighbors.

I want to commend the entire team, consisting of Leo, Cale, Scuba, Orlando, Jordan, and Rigo; for exemplary customer service. I will definitely refer this company to my family and coworkers. This team was professional, knowledgeable, and exceeded my expectations.
