Quick friendly amazing service. Explained every thing they were doing clearly and showed us repairs when finished. Affordable pricing and great people all around.
Timely arrival w/ photo of technician. Good explanation of work required. Work done efficiently. Pleasure to deal with.
Dear Lightning Bug Electric Team, I am writing to share my positive feedback regarding the service provided by Chris W. and his apprentice. Chris demonstrated exceptional professionalism, honesty, and dedication to high-quality work. He addressed my questions directly and showed thorough care in all aspects of the…
Christian did an outstanding job in a professional and courteous manner. I feel he also looked to do things in the most economical way and gave me options. So many times in dealing with services where I am not very expert in, I walk away feeling ripped off. Not in this case. I highly recommend Lightning Bug Electric.
On time, quality work, professional
New installation, replacement installation, outlet rewiring and relocation. Marcus worked tirelessly for two days. Both Marcus and Gabrielle did a fantastic job. Love the work and left the place spotless. Cody was great with walking us through everything we needed and suggesting great options that enhanced our living space.
This was the BEST experience I have had with a service person in forever! Steven was knowledgeable, courteous, efficient and just a really nice guy! Won't use anyone but Lightning bug in the future!
I am extremely satisfied with the work completed today. The technicians arrived on time, were professional throughout the entire project, and took the time to explain everything that was being installed and upgraded. The team replaced our old, corroded Square D pool panel with a brand-new pool panel installed near…
Very glad that I called the folks at Lighting Bug. Cody came out to give me my estimate and was very knowledgeable and helpful in solving for the issues I had with my home. He was also very quick to offer solutions that worked for me long term. Once scheduled Marcus and team were here exactly when they were…
Aaron (and Braeden) did a spectacular job replacing my electrical panel, breakers and running a new circuit. After initial inspection, he gave multiple levels of options to fix my problem, and explained each well. I felt I got the upgrades I needed to be safe and up to code while not overspending. He was thorough…
Lightning Bug Electric did a great job adding a new circuit to my basement and adding a floor outlet in the living room. They were very responsive during the whole process from quote request to estimating to installation. Vey professional work from Chris and Hunter
From the start to the end of the work we had done was a great experience. The quick response to our request and the booking and scheduling to come out, the information and quote, and the work getting done was excellent. Very professional, friendly and efficient!! Thanks to Heather, Tim & Steven.
Phenomenal service. I reached out looking for assistance with an outlet that was tripping. Within a few hours, Chris showed up, found a solution, and fixed the issue in less than an hour. My wallet thanks you, Chris. 10/10.
Griffen and Joseph did excellent work for me today. I had a laundry list of work that needed done, including a full replacement of my electrical panel, a replacement of my dryer outlet, and installing GFCIs. They were professional yet personable, and in some ways it felt like having a couple friends over to help.…
Very pleasant experience. They came and did the work, ran into a few surprises with the way the house already existed, but deftly worked around those to finish the job nicely.
Thank you to the Lighting Bug team for coming onsite and going the extra mile to get the project completed. Leo and Eddie, you are both amazing workers. Really enjoyed the positive attitude that you both brought to make this tedious project enjoyable and fun.
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…
Repair person was professional and arrived on time. They did an inspection and then did the repairs that we asked them to do. We will definitely call them for future work
Griffin and J.D. did an excellent job! They replaced 2 ceiling fans and installed a third. Two of the ceiling fans were in vaulted ceilings. They also replaced 3 loud exhaust fans in the bathrooms with new, quiet models, and updated the lights over the lavatories. They also added a whole house surge protector to our…
I would give this company 10 stars if I could. My service team was awesome! Cody came out to do the assessment. He was personable and sensitive to my goals for my current home. Their quote was more reasonable than others by a large amount but their work was very thorough and professional. They did work that was…
Quick to respond to my request. Provided an on-site, detailed, free estimate of the work to be completed. Excellent communication throughout the process. If you want your project done right the first time, I recommend using LBE.
Lightening Bug Electric came to do a multitude of jobs at my home. The rates are extremely reasonable. Steven and Hunter were great! They were so professional, knowledgeable and courteous. I can’t say enough about them. I will definitely recommend this company!
Steve R. and Chris W. spent several days in our home relocating electrical components to support a kitchen remodel involving new appliance placements and updated recessed lighting. Throughout the project, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep technical knowledge, and strong troubleshooting abilities.…
Lightning bug did great work and were wonderful at communicating! Updating to add: Steve was awesome to work with! They came to fix a light fixture that had come loose, and left everything 5x better than they found it. Very competent, knowledgeable, and kind.
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
We recently hired Lightening Bug Electric for several electrical upgrades in our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Aaron was our technician throughout the entire process, and he was fantastic — professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. Over the course of a week, as our project needs…
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…
Fantastic Service & quality work. Will always use Lightning Bug in the future.
Everyone here has been great, thorough, and informative! Tim came out quickly and provided us with an estimate. Louis and Griffin were out with in the same day of requesting I requested a service visit. They were on time and so friendly and courteous and completed the job quickly. They also made sure I knew what…
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.
Editing an old review: We've used Lightning Bug for years, Most recently on 10/27 and 10/29, Clay came out and finished up wiring a new fan, 2 switches and a power outlet for a bathroom renovation. He was friendly, on time, and great to work with. While LB can be pricey (all electric work is) their work has been…
So very pleasant and helpful. Very professional. Went above and beyond. I will definitely use them again.
They were on time, professional and very respectful. Just an overall great experience. I've used LBE twice now and have been VERY happy with the experience both times. Steven and Sammy were awesome!!!
Finally a service business that treats you well! This company has the friendliest technicians I've ever been in contact with! They keep you up to date with anything that happens with your services and are always honest about exactly what you need to get you a fair price. I've never had a bad technician; they're so…
Our service provider was awesome, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable.
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.
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.
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.…
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…
Professional, timely, cleanliness
Has been Generally good.
Great work! Always reliable and professional. Would recommend them for sure!
I found the Tech Dakota to be very professional and Helpful. Ultimately I found the companies prices to be to high to probably use them in the future, but I cant fault Dakota for any of that. He was very professional and knowledgeable and I was glad he was able to assist me in a pinch.
Excellent work. Fast and professional
Electrician Justin Gilley 1. On time, ahead of the appointment. 2. Professional service, courteous and detailed in explanation 3. Lifetime warranty 4. Quick repair/installation
Couldn't be happier with the service!
Cale and Steven H. were sent to complete the work I had contracted Lightning Bug Electric to do. The original tech could not make it out today so Cale and Steven H were sent in his place. Cale and Steven were nice and professional. They replaced two old lighting fixtures that were at the entrance of our community…
My experience today and yesterday with their technician, Sam, was very pleasant. He was punctual, worked efficiently and overall just did a tremendous job for us. Hats off to Sam for a job well done!
Steven came and installed a 240v line to support a ceramic kiln in our garage. Super professional tech, good work done at a reasonable price. Reseated the drywall he had to cut for me so all I need is to finish that on my time. Explained himself well and we’re happy with the result!
Great experience overall - and impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of our tech, Steven. We would definitely use Lightning Bug again and recommend them to others.
Jamie G. and his crew did an awesome job installing my new circuit panel and checking and replacing all of my outlets and switches. They were fast and efficient. Job well done!
Very courteous and professional. Arrived on time and gave me all the information I requested.
I highly recommend lightening bug. My electrician was Scott. He was very professional and accommodating. He did excellent work and went above and beyond to complete my project.
Steven from LBE was so helpful, and because of him, I feel more confident and educated about my electrical system. He listened, answered every question, never once pressured me, worked hard all day, and was the best I've ever had, explaining the problem, cost, building codes, how to prevent future issues, and my…
Steven was definitely the best electrician I've had in my home in a long time. He was personable, competent, and thorough. He tracked down a tricky wiring issue that I would probably have never found. An example of his professionalism and focus on quality: since it was 5° outside I brought him a little space…
Lightning Bug performed the electrical work for my finished basement project and I cannot express how pleased I am with their work. It was a large project (870 sq ft from stud framing) and there were a few changes along the way. Coleman, the master electrician, was very communicative throughout the project, asked…
We absolutely love this company as well as our technician Steven. He is incredible and we highly recommend to anyone in need of their services.
Highly recommend. Kept us informed throughout repairs while being extremely courteous.
