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.
Taylor was professional, as always. The job was completed in a timely manner. He explained what work would be accomplished . He briefed me on the work when it was accomplished. Lightning Bug Electric is our “go-to” company for our electrical needs.
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.
As a PM I appreciate the comprehensive service, efficiency, and excellent communication. Will use again.
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…
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…
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…
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.
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 had fun today swapping out the old wall oven that quit working. Getting the old oven out of there by myself was the biggest challenge because that oven was heavy. I also had to do a little bit of carpentry work to reduce the size of the opening so the new oven wouldn't be sliding around once it was installed.…
Clay from Lightning Bug Electric is a true professional. I had a complex issue that damaged my panel and main breaker, but Clay didn't just fix the symptoms—he identified the actual root cause. He took the time to show and explain every step of the process, which gave me peace of mind. While it wasn't a cheap fix,…
Great friendly and efficient service! Daniel was informative and thorough about the work that needed to be done. Very satisfied!
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.
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!
Lightning Bug Electric is in my opinion the best in Cobb County. We have used them for years and their expertise in electrical work is top notch. They are also very reasonable in costing jobs and most of their work is priced on a per job basis, not by the hour which is very fair.
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.
I needed to upgrade the electrical panel for an electric vehicle charger. The process was discussed with Cody who reviewed the details of the work involved in a way that made sense without tech speak that can be confusing at times. His estimate was very reasonable and was less than I had expected. I was very…
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!!!
Excellent service. Steven V is ALWAYS exceptional and professional in the service he provides.
Lightning Bug is great. Their quote was 35% of a competitor. Their work was thorough and they really went the extra mile. They offered some optional upgrades with a true soft sale tact that I appreciated. They showed me what everything would cost even as we changed the plan as we went. The entire process was great.…
Steven was prompt, professional and willing to walk me through all the changes and the reasons why. I was very impressed and would highly recommend!
Did a great job and was very prompt. Would recommend.
Very professional and thorough, their people couldn't be nicer.
I was extremely happy with the service from Lightning Bug Electric. Steven was timely and very professional. He explained everything that needed to be done to replace two wire sizes in the electrical box and also installed a kitchen overhead light. I will definitely use them again
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…
Steven and Chris did a great job finding and resolving my issue!
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.…
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…
Great experience. Very knowledgeable and personable team! Thank you Cory!
Service technician Dakota is a highly skilled and personable professional
Great experience. Friendly, knowledgeable, and let me pay on a credit card without an extra fee. Cale was great!
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…
Excellent work. Fast and professional
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…
10/10 would recommend
I highly recommend Lighting Bug Electric! They were very professional, and easy to communicate and schedule a visit. The professional who came for my inspection was Dakota, he was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and thorough in his work, he took the time to show me and explain to me what the issues are and what it…
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!
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.
Jeremy was great. Really helpful and professional. Will certainly use again.
