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.

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.

Ask for Guy Griffen. He’s knowledgeable and friendly guy 👍. Ask him to check out the breaker box and see if he can also work wonders if a previous electrician messed it up.

Probably the worst experience I’ve ever had with a contractor. I don’t have the energy to type up everything that occurred but I probably spent close to $10k or better and I still have issues in my 5bed/3bath house that I was paying them to diagnose/fix. About 4k of that project was installing an EV charger and…
