We have used Lightning Bug Electric for four different projects over the last several years. The entire operation is fantastic. From the office staff of Ashley, Heather and Kelsey to all of the technicians like James, Steven, Tyler, Marcus and Hunter, we have received the most professional, friendly and competent…
Quick friendly amazing service. Explained every thing they were doing clearly and showed us repairs when finished. Affordable pricing and great people all around.
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.
Lighting Bug services were called to repair ceiling fans. While here service technician Aaron identified a serious issue with our aged electrical panels which were definitely out of code and had been a product recall decades ago. LB Techs Aaron and Cairo diligently worked a very long day yesterday making sure that…
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…
We called Lightning Bug to bring our daughter’s new home up to date. There were many issues left by the previous owners. I asked for Steve, who had worked on my house. Steve did an excellent job. He and his helper Cairo did a thorough inspection. He made recommendations, and we chose a whole house upgrade. Steve…
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.…
Lightning Bug has been doing a lot of work in a newly renovated house that we recently moved into. Today they came out to help repair an electrical outlet where stone had been installed as part of a new cabinet installation. They had done the new wiring for this, including adding an outlet for an espresso machine…
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.
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.
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.
Came immediately and handled the job perfectly and professionally 10/10 would recommend
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.
I have used LBE twice since moving to Alpharetta in 2019. Their work is thorough and their electricians are wonderful!! I've been fortunate enough to have had Josh (and Josh/Hunter for a follow-up visit) to diagnose and fix a very tricky lighting issue in my home. Josh also replaced an outlet that had shorted out…
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…
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…
I’ve used different electricians over the years. I will never use anyone other than Lightning Bug going forward. If you’re looking for the cheapest electrician you can find, look elsewhere. If you want it done right, your search is over.
Wanted to give a HUGH shout out for Lightning Bug Electric and Josh…my NEW BEST friend. This was my first service call with LBE and I could not be happier with the service. Becca setup my appointment, she was OUTSTANDING and the follow-up communication ROCKs…received text to confirm appt…day of, received phone…
Cody and Chris are both wonderful! They told me what was needed and they did it! It’s so refreshing to not have to deal with poor communication and misrepresentation between the estimate and the final bill. In the future, I will definitely be a repeat customer! Happy customer! -June Brown
Very great experience with Lightning Bug. Mac was both the person who gave me my initial quote, and did the work. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to action. They showed up within their window both times, gave me a call an hour ahead of time, and showed up professionally. Boot-slippers, and entry rug and…
Fantastic Service & quality work. Will always use Lightning Bug in the future.
Very professional and friendly technicians. Leo and Jamal were terrific- on time and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this company!
I put in a request for an electrician to come to my home in the afternoon and the next morning Steven H came to my home and listened to all the things I wanted repaired. He was very upfront with the cost and what needed to be done to repair the problems. Steven H is very respectful, knowledgeable, and a fast worker.…
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…
Online scheduling was easy; Heather contacted me right away to confirm our need and schedule; and, Christian from Lightning Bug was at our home the next day -- and, in an earlier time slot! He was very professional; listened to our problem; and, diagnosed and perfectly fixed the issue in ~2 hours. He kept us…
I recently had the pleasure of working with Lighting Bug Electric for an electrical project at my home, and I am extremely satisfied with the service provided by Cody and Christian. Cody initially came out to discuss the scope of the work, which included installing four (4) light fixtures and converting four (4)…
Outstanding service. The tech Bradon was prompt. Handled everything professionally.
Micheal and Christian did a fantastic job! Knowledgeable, efficient, and kind. Definitely calling if we need them again
The electricians are courteous, respectful, efficient and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend to anyone.
Excellent service. Steven V is ALWAYS exceptional and professional in the service he provides.
Great experience with Steven who walked me through a plan to replace an old water heater tank that wasn’t working with a new one.
This is my second time using lightning bug electric. Hands down a wonderful company and great to work with from scheduling to the service appointment. Sam was an excellent technician. Was very upfront and transparent about the work and was great about asking questions and making sure our issues were addressed. Work…
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…
Steven was professional and helpful. He found and corrected the issue. He also advised about ways to mitigate future electrical issues.
Very professional and thorough, their people couldn't be nicer.
